No-Cook Meal Prep Ideas for Hot Summer Days

We’re in the dog days of summer, and one thing is for sure—it’s hot! Not to worry, there are easier ways to feed everyone without losing your cool in the kitchen. The key, of course, lies in the planning. Check out some of our no-cook meal prep ideas, and purchase everything you need during your next trip to your local Foodtown grocery store.

No-Cook Meal Prep From Morning ‘Til Night

Breakfast
Yogurt, fresh strawberries, melons, and more! A nutritious, tasty breakfast is easy to prepare during the dog days of summer when you have fresh fruit and dairy at your disposal. You can serve these items as part of a spread or create your own parfaits. Yum!

Lunch
Make delicious sandwiches with little effort! Simply stock up on cold cuts, cheese, and fresh rolls. And don’t forget that some people prefer extra mayo while others opt for mustard, so having a variety of condiments on hand is essential. Add in some freshly made deli salads and your lunch menu is complete!

Afternoon Snacks
Need a little something to tide the troops over until dinner? Browse our pantry. We have cookies for the sweet tooth, dried fruits and nuts for the health nut, and pretzels and popcorn for everyone else. Just remind everyone to snack in moderation—you don’t want them to spoil their dinner.

Dinner
Start out with a salad. You can opt for something prepared and bagged or create your own using fresh lettuce, herbs, and salad dressing. If you and your family are craving hot food, then go for it! A perfect choice is a store-bought rotisserie chicken purchased from Foodtown.

Dessert
Top things off with some tasty treats from our frozen foods section. There’s plenty of ice cream and frozen yogurt to choose from. You can also recycle some of that fresh fruit from breakfast for family members who prefer healthier options.
