About Me:
Meet Zara Okafor
I'm Zara, and Sunday is my favorite day of the week because it's meal prep day! I'm a former college athlete who learned early on that what you eat directly impacts how you feel. However, I also know that nobody has time to cook a complex, balanced meal at 7:00 AM on a Tuesday. That's why I've dedicated myself to the art of the make-ahead meal and the power of a solid breakfast.
My Culinary Philosophy
Future You Will Thank You: I design recipes that taste just as good (if not better) on day three as they do on day one.
Fuel That Tastes Good: Healthy shouldn't mean boring. I focus on vibrant colors, varied textures, and protein-packed ingredients.
Freezer Friendly: I always include instructions on how to freeze, store, and optimally reheat everything I make.
My Background & Expertise
I started my culinary journey by helping my teammates prep their weekly meals on a tight college budget. Over the years, I've refined my strategies to reduce food waste and maximize efficiency. My recipes at Mina Recipes are for anyone who wants to eat well but doesn't want to think about cooking when they're rushing out the door.
