“I was definitely curious about meal prep - I thought it was prepping the same meals everyday like body builders do. I wasn’t sure how it would work with kids. Now I know that’s not true and I can make meal prep work for me and the kids! That was probably my biggest takeaway - that you don’t have to eat the same thing everyday, consistency is key!”

Laura E., Hoboken, New Jersey

Hi! I’m Elia, your Meal Prep Coach

When I was a kid, I would watch my Safta and mom cooking every night. Their meals were delicious and guided me to be the chef I am today. I want the modern busy human to have that experience, in a fraction of the time.

After 7+ years of meal prepping and coaching more than 200 families, I've seen and tasted what having delicious meals waiting in the fridge can do for a family.

There’s so much mental load in your daily life, why not let Modern Meal Prep take some of that decision fatigue off your plate (pun intended)!

I built Modern Meal Prep so busy parents and professionals can love their kitchen again and look forward to mealtime everyday creating memorable moments with the ones you love.

You may have tried these other meal prep solutions in the past…

Meal Prepping on Your Own

  • The first roadblock you encounter when trying to meal prep on your own is finding the time to cook, because duh, you’re busy working and living life.

    Then there’s the trial and error of figuring out how much food to make for your family, what to cook so everyone’s happy, and how to keep everyone from getting bored during the week.

    Maybe you have the time and know what to cook but don’t have the skill set and confidence to cook the new recipes you found.

    What about all the planning that is necessary leading up to the prep, or the motivation to do the prep? How do you stay consistent when you’re tempted daily with Seamless discounts and the heavenly smell of pizza on your way home from work?

    Does this cycle sound at all familiar?

  • If you’re ready to say goodbye to the never ending cycle of buying food, attempting to cook it, wasting said food, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed it’s time to reevaluate your priorities!

    Together we’ll shorten your timeline and teach you the foundation of how to meal prep in a way that sticks for life! You don’t have to go on this journey alone. Having me by your side will give you the motivation and accountability you need stay consistent and successful.

Meal Delivery Kits & Lots of Takeout

  • Being that we live in a health obsessed world, it’s ironic that takeout and meal delivery kits don’t allow you much control of the ingredient quality.

    Another issue is the cost of such services, talking mostly about takeout here. But many of the meal delivery kits aren’t set up to feed families larger than 4 people and don’t even offer larger portions for hungrier smaller families. So is it even worth it if you leave dinner still hungry after all the work you put in to cook the meal?

    The menu options might seem vast at first but after several months, you get bored just like with your fave takeout spots in the hood! It’s all the same.

    Another huge problem with meal delivery kits is that you still have to cook them and make a plan to eat them throughout the week.

    The recipe that was supposed to take you 30 minutes but took you more, they sent way too many of those mini condiment bottles (that are currently forgotten in the back corner of the fridge), the kitchen is a mess, nobody ate the food, and now you are annoyed and exhausted. But guess what?!

    You don’t have to wake up and do it all again the tomorrow! I can help!

  • First things first…be sure to cancel your meal delivery kit for next week, you won’t be needing that anymore!

    Now let me tell you why meal kits and takeout don’t work and why MMP does!

    MMPers reserve takeout for the weekend or special occasions because they’ve learned how to use what they have already at home (that’s already been paid for) to create a meal that makes them feel 10X better than takeout & tastes way better too!

    Grocery budgets can feel challenging but, in MMP they feel like you won the olympic gold medal!

    When meal prep becomes a part of your daily routine, it stops feeling like a chore and becomes something you can be excited about and, dare I say, even FUN!

    Food made with love is the ultimate act of self care one can give to themselves, their families, and the planet. If you’re someone who is health conscious, wants to cook + eat at home, & genuinely enjoys food you absolutely CAN and SHOULD be meal prepping. Join MMP today!

Saving Endless Recipes

  • You've pinned and saved easy week night recipes every single day, but they don't ever make it to your dinner table.

    The issue with saving millions of recipes and sifting through them later is still the feelings of overwhelm and decision fatigue. The same problems you started with! Also, did you forget about your busy schedule? When is the cooking getting done?

    Pinning recipes and saving Instagram posts doesn’t actually teach you the skills necessary to meal prep for life.

    Meal Prep is a life skill you need to be taught how to do within the parameters of your life, practice, and then be able to master for life!

    Recipe writers assume you know the cooking techniques and have all the ingredients but if you are a novice cook just exploring meal prep you will end up buying lots of expensive unnecessary ingredients that won’t get used ever again. They’ll take up space in your kitchen and you’ll likely get lost in the directions, mess up, and ruin the recipe, feeling like failure in the end.

    Let me just say it’s not YOU that’s a failure, it’s just the way you are going about it that isn’t working.

  • if you are novice cook you will need a recipe, but start with recipes that you know are tried and true, that are simplified, and easy to follow with few ingredients. And my recipes are just that.

    Working with someone like me, a mealprep coach, who can steer you in the right direction for recipes, meal ideas, ingredient swaps, etc. will already put you ahead of someone who was trying to do it alone, because i’ve already done this work myself. I have tons of cookbooks but I never look at them for meal planning because it’s too much.

“Elia was a god send during a time of physical and mental change in my life! She brought order to my home and taught me how to realistically look at my week and prep. She empowered me to show up for myself and help demystify the notion that meal prep is too hard, too boring, not for busy people! Communication, async support was great, she even helped me with recipes that will keep me on track and top of my weight loss goals!.”

Yvonna G., New York, New York
