The One Trick You Need To Make Your Weekdays Run More Smoothly While You’re Trying To Be Healthy

The One Trick You Need To Make Your Weekdays Run More Smoothly While You’re Trying To Be Healthy

If you’re a busy person, you’ve definitely been here before: the mornings are a mess of rushing around trying to get to work and school on time, and the nights aren’t much better.  From running out trying to get everyone out the door to sitting in traffic (sometimes for hours on end), the last thing you probably feel like doing is standing in the kitchen trying to whip up a healthy meal for yourself and your family. 

The good news is that you don’t have to pull your hair out anymore trying to balance living life and practicing a healthier lifestyle. 

The answer: Use a meal prep delivery service! Here’s why locals in places like Banning, Corona, and the all of Riverside County are loving meal prep delivery services like My Healthy Penguin – and how you can, too. 

The beauty of using a meal prep delivery service

When it comes to eating healthily, it’s often easier said than done.

Think about the last time that you tried to make a change to your diet. You probably got fed up with your current lifestyle for one reason or another – maybe you were tired of feeling sluggish and unhealthy all the time, or maybe you were noticing that you weren’t fitting into your clothes the way that you could a couple of months ago. 

So you set out on a mission to clean up your diet. You buy a ton of fruits and vegetables, read up on the latest dieting trends, and start making healthy, home-cooked meals for yourself and your family. 

But then, something changes (sometimes as soon as a couple of days in!). Once reality starts taking its toll, you realize that you’re too short on time to keep up with cooking those healthy meals every day. Or maybe you get really stressed out after work one day and decide to just eat out rather than whipping something up yourself. Or, a really fun weekend came along so you “cheated” … but then could just never really get back into the healthy swing of things once the work week came along.    

What you really needed in these moments? Healthy, delicious, and convenient meals that were already ready for you to heat and eat, even on your most hectic workdays. 

This is where a meal prep delivery service can come into play and make a huge difference! The idea is to get fresh, healthy meals that are just as good for you as homemade meals, but just as convenient as your favorite restaurant or food delivery service. 

How it works 

My Healthy Penguin is a meal prep delivery service based in Rancho Cucamonga that delivers healthy meal prep to the Inland Empire, Riverside County, Los Angeles County, and Orange County. Every week, My Healthy Penguin puts up a menu of delicious, good-for-you meals that you can choose from. Place your order by Wednesday of every week. Then, we’ll cook up those delicious meals in perfect healthy portions, properly store them in the fridge, and deliver them to your door on Sundays. 

What this means for you: when you’re coming home from a long day of work or have just a moment or two to eat in between your weekday engagements, all you have to do is reach into your fridge and pop your meal prep into the microwave. You’ll have a hot fresh meal that’s ready to eat in minutes! 

Conclusion 

A busy schedule can be a huge barrier to eating healthy and getting to your goals … but it doesn’t have to be. By using a meal prep delivery service like My Healthy Penguin, you don’t have any excuses, and that ultimately means better healthy habits in the long run.
