Healthy eating can be much more time-consuming than unhealthy eating (think grabbing a bag of chips vs. preparing a hearty salad). Here are some tips that can help make healthy cooking more efficient:
Prep-Ahead Produce: Discover the art of prepping vegetables and fruits ahead of time. From washing and chopping to storing in portion-sized containers, preparing ahead makes it easy to add healthy ingredients to your meals on the fly.
Batch Cooking: Similarly, you can learn how to strategically plan and cook large batches of ingredients that can be used in various dishes throughout the week (more on this in future posts).
One-Pan Wonders: Embrace the simplicity of one-pan meals. Explore recipes that allow you to toss all your ingredients onto a single baking sheet or into a skillet, minimizing cleanup time while maximizing flavor.
