The dream: home cooked, healthy meals – fast food, dollar menu pricing.
Ever heard of a dinner prep kitchen?
A prep kitchen is a facility where most of the prep work that goes into cooking a meal, including the shopping, is done for you. 
All the vegetables are sliced, diced and chopped. The meats rinsed and trimmed and all the spices and seasonings laid out. Your job is to simply log onto the website of the place you are going, and choose from an ever changing menu of dinner options. The facility I took my Elk Grove boot camp ladies to this past weekend, Dinner My Way in Elk Grove (www.dinnermyway.com)- has about 15 meals on the menu each month. Once you reserve a time to prepare your food and decide what you are going to make, all you then need to do is show up and follow the directions given at each of the meal stations to prepare healthy meals up to the point of actually cooking them.
Besides doing all the grunt work for you, another great feature of these types of facilities is that the nutrition information is usually listed right on the website so you can make healthy selections that further you along in your fat loss goals or in your resolve to eat healthier. The average at home cook time for one of these meals is about 15 minutes and the average cost per serving is a very budget friendly $3.50.
Most of the ladies in my Elk Grove Booty Boot Camp had never heard of places like this, or they had, but really didn’t understand how it worked. so I took them on a field trip to see first hand what it is all about. It was a huge hit! All of the women from my busy moms to the single 20-somethings in my boot camp saw a place in their eating plan where an option like this could fill a gap that might have before been filled with unhealthy choices that somehow got them extra burpies in boot camp each week 😉 .
Check out the video I made of our field trip, and then check out a dinner prep kitchen near you.
Stay focused
