4 Ways to Make Eating Healthy More Convenient
Our favorite convenient ways to change your eating habits for the better.
Heading into the new year with the goal of eating a little bit better? We’re with you! In our expert opinion, the best way to make sure you follow through on any New Year’s goals is to make them as convenient as possible for yourself. Eating well at home is no different! Here are a few of our favorite ways to make it super convenient to make nutritious meals at home and change your eating habits for the better.
Wash and prep your veggies in advance
This step makes it way easier to throw together a great meal, even when cooking is daunting after a long day of work. When your weekly delivery of local produce arrives from The Rounds, chop hardy veggies like carrots and store them in water, and put your greens in a perforated bag with a paper towel to avoid extra moisture and extend the life of your produce. When you’re ready to cook, just grab and go!
Keep healthy protein in your freezer
Every great meal needs a source of protein! To avoid extra trips to the store to stock up on staples like poultry or fresh fish, keep a backstock of your favorite options in your freezer. When your groceries arrive, separate your tofu, chicken, or fish into meal-sized portions and label them with the date they went into the freezer. They’ll last for 6-9 months! This way, it’s easy to grab what you need for your meal without waste. Remember, you should always thaw your items in your fridge. Use a lower shelf for the most efficient thaw.
Make sure you never run out of your staples
Avoid ‘empty pantry’ situations! Members of The Rounds can set recurring orders for all of their most important staples, like brown basmati rice, greek yogurt, and even locally grown veggies. Staying stocked with your favorite nutritious ingredients makes it way easier to manage cooking at home, for one meal a day or all three!
Stock up on better-for-you snacks
It’s a lot easier to eat well if you always have filling and nutritious snacks on hand. Nuts, carrots & hummus, and all-natural jerky sticks are a few of our favorites. Members of The Rounds can choose from tons of great snacks like raw and roasted nuts in refillable packaging, or browse our selection of snacks from brands you can trust, like Chomps, Perfect Bars, and Lesser Evil.
