If you like to eat healthy but you never find the time to start cooking because you get tired of working or studying, perhaps it is time to find out what the Batch cooking.

What is the Batch cooking

Its literal translation is “batch cooking” and it is a way of organizing lunches and dinners for the whole family by cooking only one day, usually on Sunday, so that the rest of the week we only have to heat what has been previously cooked.

As you can imagine, it is about planning and organizing so that we can eat healthy, homemade food every day of the week, trying to optimize resources and the cooking of different foods.

Among its benefits we must highlight that it returns to home cooking and moves us away from ultra-processed foods. In addition, we can establish a weekly menu that can help us improve our diet in quantity and quality.

Once the menu is planned, we will buy the quality ingredients that we are going to eat, always opting for fresh and seasonal food. The most appropriate thing is to select one or two quality meats, one or two fish, various vegetables, legumes and one or two cereals (better if they are whole).

By choosing the option to cook only in one day, you will save time and energy consumption because you will make better use of all the food.

To preserve the batch cooking you can use tuppers with individual or family portions depending on whether you all eat at the same time or each of the family members has different schedules. You can also freeze the rations, for which it is advisable to label what is in that ration and, if we want, the date of preparation and even if it is a lunch or dinner. Then we just have to defrost or heat and ready to eat.
