We all lead busy lives and the importance of eating healthy can often be overlooked. Preparing easy healthy meals can sometimes take a backseat.If you have a family like me, you probably have to work a job (perhaps both parents) do the shopping, run errands, pick up the kids from daycare and run a household.Having a few ideas for easy healthy meals up your sleeve can certainly take “a load off”.
One of the biggest problems people face when it comes to meal ideas and meal preparation is not having a basic plan. By that I mean; frozen meat like chicken breasts, steak, diced meat, ground or minced meat, fish. Having these types of things in the freezer ready to go makes preparing easy healthy meals exactly that… Easy.
Keep things like fresh salad items in the cooler if it’s summer and potatoes, carrots, root vegetables and legumes on hand during winter. Homemade soups are always easy healthy meals and are often best prepared well ahead of time.
Tip No2: Cook meals well ahead of time. All you do now is toss a little chicken through some lovely crisp leaves, a few juicy italian Roma tomatoes, a little homemade ricotta cheese with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Tip No3: Everyone loves Pizza. Especially a healthy pizza recipe. Can’t be bothered making your own homemade pizza dough? No problem. Spread a little tomato paste and mixed herbs on the bread, layer on your own toppings like cheese, tomato, ham, cooked chicken, capsicum (bell peppers), olives and anything else you like. You can create your very own healthy pizza recipe.
