Nutritional Tips: Healthy Habits

Create Healthy Habits During the Busy Back to School Season

Life is busy. Now is the time to transform your kitchen and your life by checking in on your habits. Creating new habits will make your life so much easier.

• Healthy Replacement for Substitutes | Replace – candy with fruit, chips with nuts, white rice with brown rice, sliced white bread with pita bread, mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower, sour cream with greek yogurt, flour tortilla with corn tortilla, mayo with mashed avocado, and fruit juice with fruit water.
• Prep Snacks in Advance | In addition to your Fit Snacks, prep your snacks in advance so that you have your own grab and go. Wash and cut your veggies into veggie sticks, wash and separate into ready to go containers, prep your salad so that it is easy to throw in chopped veggies, add dressing and go.
• Meal Prep Made Easy | Cook a super healthy dinner, prepare how every many lunches you need the next day at the same time and pack them away when you serve your plates. That way each day your lunches are fresh, delicious and healthy. Include a protein, vegetable and healthy starch like brown rice. Let this be a staple template for 3 to 4 dinners per week.
• Insta Pot & Crock Pot | Make a healthy meal in a pot so that it is easy to separate and eat on the go. Remember it can cook when you are at work. In the case of an Insta Pot you can make healthy meals in just 1 hour or less. Get creative and find 1 new recipe to try every week.
