You want to eat healthy, but you don't have time?

Now that we spend a lot of time at work or away from home, this lifestyle, unfortunately, is not conducive to a healthy, balanced diet, so how can we organize our meal preparation to save time while eating healthy?

Table of Contents

1. Planning meals

Planning a menu can save us a lot of time. Ideally, if we plan our meals for a few days, we can plan our diet for the whole week optimally. If we go to a store with a ready-to-eat list, we'll save a great deal of time because we won't have to buy the products we need on a regular basis. Planning meals will also make the process of preparing them easier. We can also use prepared vegetables, meat or cereal products for other meals.

2. Frozen fruit on smoothies and cocktails

Meals that can be successfully frozen include various types of soups, toast, roasted meats, sauces, pies, and pastries, but avoid freezing fresh herbs and vegetables with plenty of water, as they will lose their freshness and firmness after freezing. A good solution is to freeze them in containers or bags of fruit that will form the basis of cocktails or smoothies.

3. Healthy and quick snacks

Choose a quick and healthy snack, it could be your favorite fruit, like an apple, orange, banana, peach, a handful of strawberries or blueberries, a portion of vegetables, like peppers or pork chopped in strips, a bunch of cocktail tomatoes, as well as a serving of almonds or nuts.

4. Fast food salads

If we don't have a lot of time, we can try to make a quick salad. All we have to do is use a portion of any salad, like rolls, rosemary or spinach. In stores, there are portions of ready-to-use salads that are already washed.

5. Appropriate irrigation

Often when we're busy, we reach for excess coffee and juice and sugary drinks, which replace our balanced meals. So let's make sure we get the right amount of water. Because consuming very high doses of caffeine a day can be associated with dehydrating effects. Soaps and drinks are high in sugars and have a high energy value.
