Agree, eating right is much easier if there is not a mountain of cookies, chocolates or sandwiches on the table.
Agree, eating right is much easier if there is not a mountain of cookies, chocolates or sandwiches on the table. But if you forgot to prepare a healthy meal, your hand reaches for crackers, bars and burgers. To avoid another fiasco, spend half an hour cooking the following seven meals and eat right!
If you are a happy owner of a multicooker, just load all the ingredients into it, set the desired program and after a while enjoy a fresh dish. Freshly cooked porridge can be cooled and stored in the refrigerator or frozen. Brown rice is added to salads as a filling ingredient; to baked vegetables; to meat dishes as a side dish. This type of rice is healthier than white: it contains more vitamins due to the incomplete processing cycle.
One of the main rules of a healthy diet is maintaining water balance. If you are reluctant to drink 2 liters of plain water a day, replace it with green tea. Just prepare a large pitcher of tea, add some lemon juice or mint to it and leave it in the refrigerator. Pour into a bottle and take it with you for a walk, run or work instead of regular water.
Often we do not want to spend 10 minutes to boil a couple of eggs for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Solving this problem is simple: take courage and boil a dozen eggs for a week. You can even leave a few in the fridge at work - the main thing is that a healthy snack is always at hand. Hard boiled eggs go well with salads, raw and baked vegetables, feta cheese and boiled chicken breast.
Agree, most of us would rather sleep longer than wake up early and cook oatmeal. Lovers of soaking up in the morning in bed can prepare breakfast in the evening: just put oatmeal in a jar, pour it with yogurt and leave it overnight in the refrigerator. You can diversify oatmeal with fruits, syrups, seeds or nuts - there are a lot of options. The advantage of such a breakfast is that it can be taken to work - fast, tasty and healthy.
Sometimes you want to have a snack with vegetables, but there is no time to peel and cut them. So prepare everything in advance: peel the vegetables, cut them into portions and put them in containers. They can be used as a snack, added to salads, baked in small portions or stewed in less time.
With baked vegetables, everything is the same as with raw ones: it is worth spending one hour on cooking to use a whole week. Drizzle eggplants, broccoli, bell peppers and other vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle with your favorite herbs and bake at 180 degrees until cooked.
If you are tired of the greens, replace it: prepare a salad with corn, carrots and Greek yogurt. Don't forget that a salad can be hearty: add boiled chicken breast, seafood or feta cheese, drizzle with olive oil and season to taste - an easy dinner is ready!
