Health Tip: For a Healthier Diet, Plan Ahead
By LadyLively on September 19, 2016
Planning ahead for healthier meals makes it less likely that you’ll order takeout.
Here are suggestions for squeezing food preparation into your busy week, courtesy of the American Heart Association:
- Prepare a menu two-to-four weeks ahead of schedule. Plan your family’s favorite healthier dishes, and update it with new recipes.
- Plan a menu for each meal for each day. While shopping for ingredients, snag any seasonal foods that are fresh and on sale.
- Use the weekends to cook and freeze meals for the week.
- Pre-cut and refrigerate veggies in containers, so you can grab them and go.
