It’s another Sunday Setup! Here’s what I did last week to get ahead for the week. Stock the fridge and freezer and thank yourself later!
Welcome to Week 5 of another Sunday Setup.
If you’ve followed along and have enjoyed these guides from Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4 here’s another instalment.
With a little preparation, you’ll be taking the weight off those full-on midweek days, as well as having delicious, nutritious meals to look forward to.

What meal prep we can do…
I am not suggesting we should prep for every single meal here, but every little helps when it comes to meal prepping.
This week we’ll be including tips for:
Breakfasts for the week to save precious time in the morning
Healthy snacks that are perfect for either packed lunches or after school
A sweet treat that’s also perfect for packed lunches, desserts or elevenses
A cooked protein to use in salads for lunch, or an extra protein snack
Soup for a lunch or light dinner that can easily be batch cooked for another week too
A veg tray to get everything chopped to save time later
A fruit salad for breakfast, snack or dessert
One base meal that you can turn into 3 different meals if you want to
Sunday SETUP tips:
Double up the portion of soup you make and put the surplus in the freezer for another week
I use these meal prep glass containers from Amazon to keep food stored in, and this sectioned platter is ideal for all your chopped vegetables
For freshness, most prepped food will keep fine in the fridge for 3-4 days, otherwise most items can be frozen instead
Notes on storing, freezing, defrosting and reheating should be in each individual recipe, or in the notes below
Everything in the FREE shopping list is what you need to prepare for the meals below
Useful tools for the job…
You can find links to all of the containers, utensils and general paraphernalia that I use to help me with meal prepping in my online shop, but my top favourites are:
Denim Apron
Veggie Chopper of Dreams
Large Jars

Fruit Snacks
This week I chopped up some apples, tossed in lemon juice and popped into jars with peanut butter for dipping. We all loved these!
Fruit salad
Add your favourite fruit to the shopping basket, wash and chop and you have easy pickings for throughout the week. I find we are much more likely to eat melon if it’s already cut up
