One of the main issues for most of the women I talk to is lack of time. With so many things to juggle eating healthy – although they want to – can be just one thing too many and it’s easy to resort to processed or talk away food. As with so many things it comes down to planning – a little time spent advance planning saves a lot during the week or we become like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland “I’m late, I’m late” all the time!
These top 10 Tips will help you stay on track with eating healthy without it eating into too much of your precious time so here goes!
- Order online for either home delivery or to pick up at your local store after work
- Plan your entire week’s dinners based on your diary (or tap into my Joyful Eating Club with meal plans, recipes and shopping lists all done for you)
- Buy pre prepared vegetables – peeled and chopped veg can save you lots of time in the evening
- Always cook double quantity on the evenings when you cook so you can either have the leftovers heated the next day, or as lunch, or put them in the freezer for another day
- Batch cook at the weekend – a couple of hours invested in the kitchen over the weekend can save a ton of stress and pressure during the week. Keep what you’ve cooked in the fridge or freezer in “tupperware” or “ziplock” bags (the latter are great if you have a small freezer).
- Cook a big chicken on a Sunday – have it hot on Sunday, cold on Monday and in a sauce on Tuesday
- Use the slow cooker – throw all the ingredients in in the morning and when you come home it will all be ready for you (with a lovely smell too, hopefully!)
- Stir fries are great quick meals. Vegetables with chicken, shrimp, pork fillet and a bit of seasoning cooked quickly in coconut oil over high heat make a delicious, nutritious meal that is ready in just a few minutes
- Whiz up a nutritious smoothie for breakfast that you can take with you – eg spinach, a pear, a stick of celery, vanilla protein powder, some cinnamon and water – takes just a few moments and keeps you going till lunchtime
- Prepare a big box of salad in the evening to take with you for lunch – just keep the dressing separate, in a little jar, so the leaves don’t wilt. There are some great lunch boxes with dividers and even dressing pots that are ideal like this one by Sistema
I hope you find some of these useful and I’d love to hear any of your favourite time saving tips
with love
