AUSTIN, Texas (Aug. 19, 2019) – Getting back to a routine following a carefree summer can be daunting, especially when it comes to creating satisfying meals with high quality ingredients. As parents and non-parents alike feel more pressure around meal planning and prep – whether it’s mapping out delicious school lunches or pulling together an easy meal for the office – Whole Foods Market is here to support shoppers as they get organized and back on track after the structure-free fun of summer.
“We know fall is a time for kick-starting structured routines and, with more than 10.4 million posts tagging #MealPrep on Instagram, advanced planning and thoughtful preparation are top of mind for consumers across the country,” said Whole Foods Market culinary expert Allison Thomas. “For stress-free meal prep this fall, shoppers will find everything they need at Whole Foods Market for inspired and easy lunch-packing – from 365 by Whole Foods Market staples like mini sandwich crackers and deli meats to fresh produce like tomatoes and grapes.”
