I want someone to basically meal prep salads and veggies 10 meals for 5 days every week. I’m trying to go keto and can do the meat and protein but just can’t be asked with the veggies and salads. Need some creative variety. I can buy all the ingredients just want someone to come and chop that stuff up, make it, and put it in containers. I’d say 5 different kinds of salads, par steamed veggies. I just get bored of doing meal prep.
