Meal Planning

In this episode, Ashley, Danielle and Christa discuss the ways we approach meal planning. We talk about the challenges of balancing busy lives with the need for nutritious meals and share some creative breakfast and dinner ideas. We think having some quick meals ready to go are good to have on hand, especially if you have fatigue from IBD or have a busy day!

Takeaways-

- Planning meals can take some work but can save time and reduce stress in the long run.
- Having quick meal options is essential for busy lives and those in a flare or experiencing fatigue.
- Make ahead and go-to breakfast ideas can make mornings easier.
- Adding sauces can elevate simple meals and keep things from getting boring.

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us.

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to you tube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually level up what we do here.
