TAKE
STOCK
of Convenient Healthy Choices
Part of the hurdle to eating well when on the run is that we don’t take stock of the
convenience that simple wholesome foods can offer. With just a little planning,
you can be prepared with healthy convenient options ready to grab and go.
• Bagged arugula and spinach add a nutrient-boost to pizza, sandwiches,
soups or tuck into grilled cheese and casseroles prior to cooking.
• Look for single-serve packages of cheese, melba toast, yogurt drinks,
applesauce and more.
• Bite-size dippable sweet peppers offer portability for munching with no
food waste and no prep.
• Don't underestimate the nutritional value and convenience of frozen fruit
and veggie blends. TIP: Include these frozen foods to help keep your
cooler-packed foods cold.
• Wash and pat-dry grape tomatoes, grapes and strawberries.
Wash up their original store container and line with
paper towel. Pack fruit/veg back into their container
so they’re ready for snacking.
• Invest in a Banana Guard carrier to make sure
bananas aren’t crushed to mush when on the go.
• Cook ahead: hard-cooked eggs, grilled steak,
chicken breast, brown rice, barley and tortellini.
All are perfect additions to make leafy green
salads more substantial.
