Being organised does not mean preparing seven identical lunchboxes. Saving a few difficult decisions on busy days is enough.

Put it into practice

Prepare a base such as rice or lentils and cook vegetables separately. Combine them with different additions throughout the week.

Things to keep in mind

Do not cook a huge batch if you cannot store it safely. Cool and refrigerate food properly and use suitable freezing for longer storage.

Your next step
