Imagine this for a moment- you arrive home after a long day at work, you’re exhausted and still have a to-do list the length of your arms tinkering around inside your head. You open the fridge door, feeling overwhelmed and uninspired, you reach for the easiest option, knowing far well that it isn’t the best option!
  • How common is this scenario?! Add children, pets, partners, second jobs, finances, piano lessons, tennis practice and a gamut of other possible elements into the mix and the need for quick, easy and nourishing food options multiplies!

    By having an organised kitchen with some simple go-to’s means healthy food choices, less stress, a saving of money and additional time for you!

    Healthy eating comes down to a little bit of good old organisation! Making sure that your kitchen is well equipped, and you have healthy food on hand is one of the biggest hurdles to overcoming poor food choices.

    Although it may be a little extra effort at first, you will soon be rewarded with the ease of eating well, snacking well and saving a few hard-earned pennies too!

    Let’s go through a handful of possible options you can easily incorporate into your weekly routine:

  • Overnight Breakfasts

    Overnight Oats have become very popular – and rightly so! They are full of nutrients, easy to eat on the run and taste amazing! You can customise your overnight breakfasts to include your favourite nuts, seeds, superfoods and grains. Why not give this a go?

    Find yourself a small to medium size clean glass jar and begin layering-

    • Layer the bottom section with oats
    • Top with a layer of goji berries
    • Top with a sprinkle of almonds
    • Top with another layer of oats
    • Top with a layer of sliced strawberries
    • Add a dollop of coconut yoghurt
    • Top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs and coconut.
    • Keep layering until your jar is full and then pour in as much almond/soy/rice/oat mylk as you can to cover the ingredients.
    • Place the lid tightly on the jar and then place the jar in the fridge to soak overnight

    In the morning, your breakfast is ready to go! The mylk will have soaked and softened the contents a little like a fancy style of bircher muesli!

     

  • Sauces, Dips & Dressings

    Taking an hour or two one day a week to whip up a couple of dressings or dips can go a long way to keeping your meals inspiring for the week ahead! Try wizzing up a quick pesto with any nuts and herbs and greens on hand. Get creative and try basil and hemp seeds, walnuts and coriander, cashews and rocket, or pistachios and baby spinach. Having a few simple dressings are also wonderful to add flavor and zing to your meals.

  • Healthy Snacks on the Run

    Having a batch of bliss balls in the fridge or freezer are perfect to grab when you’re walking out the door. Keeping a batch of healthy raw chocolate in the freezer is also a great idea for when you are looking for something sweet!
