We’re doing something pretty different for today’s podcast episode. Instead of covering a specific cooking topic or interviewing someone, I’ve created a meal prep meditation to provide you with a little bit of kitchen zen and motivation. Plus, while we’re at it, I also added in some tips for improving your prep skills.   The idea for this meditation was actually inspired by my obsession for the digital fitness app Aaptiv. There are a ton of audio classes to choose from, and I’ve loved having a trainer in my ear for all my workouts. Someone tells me what to do, there’s great music in the background, and it’s the exact motivation I need to get through that run or actually use the equipment at the gym.   This motivational meal prep meditation is along the same lines. I’ll be in your ear providing you with the encouragement, praise, and instruction you need to make the best use of your meal prep time. I hope you’ll leave it downloaded in your podcast player to be listened to time and time again.   We’re taking a short summer break but will be back with new episodes in time for back-to-school.
