Prep when you’re Superwoman. And when you’re sloth mode.

So there you are, fabulously preggo, toggling between Superwoman and Sloth—both equally iconic, I might add. One minute you’re Beyoncé in the kitchen, conducting a culinary symphony of quinoa and kale, slaying that sauté pan with unparalleled gusto. The next, you’re sloth mode Sandra, serenely draped on the couch, considering if finding the TV remote is worthy of Olympic-level exertion. Let’s face it: your second trimester’s culinary accomplice is mood swings, and together they’re writing the most dramatic meal prep script ever set to *real life*.

And speaking of dramatic scripts, let’s talk meal prep strategy. This is your ultimate guide to navigating the peaks and valleys of your energy levels with a dollop of cheekiness that’ll make your proteins jealous. Buckle up, sister, because just like your unpredictable cravings, this list of survival tips is both delicious and saucy.

The Best 5 Hacks for Superwoman Mode

1. Rock the Slow Cooker Like a Food Network Star: When your energy is through the roof, seize the day—and that slow cooker. Toss in root veggies, a protein of choice, and let it summon culinary magic while you save the world, one spreadsheet at a time.
2. Batch-Brew Your Bliss: Whether it’s herbal tea or gloriously healthy bone broth, a big pot of your favorite liquid love potion can revitalize any day. Imagine: future you sipping handmade comfort without lifting a finger!
3. Go Mad with Marinades: Turn your fridge into an art exhibit of marinated proteins and veggies. Today’s olive oil, garlic, and citrus zests ensure tomorrow’s meals burst with flavor. Abstract food art, but make it meal prep!
4. >The Double Batch Blessing: Turn tonight’s dinner into tomorrow’s too. Simply double the recipe and voila, a post-dinner soirée of chilling, guilt-free style, awaits.
5. Salad Prep on Steroids: Wash, chop, and store salad greens and toppings like you’re prepping for the #Gram. Because nothing screams ‘I’ve got my life together’ like opening the fridge to a rainbow of ready-to-eat greens.

The Worst 5 Mistakes When You’re Sloth Mode

1. Cooking Like You’re Mission Impossible: Attempting an elaborate dinner when you shouldn’t be trusted near a toaster is risky. Embrace the simple and save the soufflés for another day.
2. The Allergen Adventure: Avoid the pitfall of over-enthusiastic experimenting, especially with foods your grandma probably warned you about. A bloated belly was not what you envisioned for today’s preggo-glam look.
3. Forgetting You’re a Beginner Yogini: If a dish requires more bending, twisting, or balance than a prenatal yoga class, shelve it for later. Your kitchen should never feel like an obstacle course.
4. Attempting Five-Star Clean-up: When faced with a Mount Everest of dirty dishes, defer to the dishwasher (or a helpful partner). Remember, less dishwashing means more energy for those Playdough prodders kicking your insides.
5. Messing with Your Must-Have Nutrients: Consistently
