The Routi Meal Preparation System transforms 90 minutes of focused Sunday cooking into five days of nourishing, ready-to-assemble meals. Less stress, more flavor, better nutrition.

Before cooking, spend 10 minutes choosing 2–3 proteins, 3–4 vegetables, 2 grains, and 2 sauces that can mix and match throughout the week. Then shop your list — nothing more, nothing less.
Cook proteins and grains in large quantities. While the oven roasts chicken, the rice cooker runs, and you chop vegetables. Run multiple processes simultaneously to minimize total time.
Divide everything into portioned glass containers. Label with date and contents. Group by meal type in your fridge — breakfasts together, lunch components together, dinner bases together.
Each day, assemble meals from your prepped components in 5–10 minutes. Mix and match to create variety — your prepped week should feel like a restaurant menu, not leftovers.
Glass containers preserve flavor, prevent odor absorption, and let you see exactly what's inside. Invest in a matching set with stackable lids to maximize fridge space.
Write the date and contents on each container. This takes 10 seconds and saves you from sniff-testing mystery containers three days later.
Always let cooked food cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating. This prevents condensation buildup that reduces shelf life.
Any prepared food you won't eat by Wednesday should be frozen immediately. Pull it out on Thursday morning so it thaws safely in the fridge.
