As the school year approaches, the hustle and bustle of getting back into a routine can feel a bit overwhelming. Between homework, after-school activities and everything in between, finding time to cook a nutritious meal every night can be a challenge. But don’t worry—with some smart meal prep, you can breeze through those busy school nights with ease. This guide is here to help you with all things back to school meal prep, from tips and grocery lists to a week’s worth of delicious recipes.

Tips for successful back to school meal prep

As someone who loves to meal prep, here are some tips I swear by:

1. Plan your menu ahead of time

Start by planning your meals for the week. This not only helps you stay organized but also ensures that you buy only what you need, reducing food waste. Make a list of what you’ll need for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and stick to it.

2. Make batch cooking your best friend

Both the packaging and the formula of this drugstore mascara rival those of luxury brands. The best news is that it has been ophthalmologist-tested and is suitable for sensitive eyes. The specially designed brush fans out your natural lashes to make them appear longer and thicker, while the stretchflex formula covers and defines each lash from the inner to the outer corner. This mascara is also easy to remove, so you don’t have to scrub it off at the end of the day and risk irritating your eyes.
