]]>Kale is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vitamins K, A, and C are highly prevalent in kale and it contains lutein and beta-carotene which can reduce the risk of diseases. It is best consumed raw, as cooking it can reduce the nutrient value, so add it to your lunchtime salad and enjoy the benefits.
Collard greens are a loose leaf green, with a slightly bitter taste, so they’re best served cooked with some flavor. They are a great source of calcium and vitamins A, B9 (folate), and C and one of the best sources of vitamin K, which can reduce blood clotting.
Spinach is a common leafy green used in salads, frittatas, on top of pizza, and for smoothies. One cup of raw spinach provides you with 181% of your daily value of vitamin K. It’s also packed with folate which helps with red blood cell production and is needed for women when they are pregnant.
This leafy green, otherwise known as rocket, has a slightly peppery taste and is often used in salads or added as a garnish on top of a sandwich. It is one of the best sources of dietary nitrates, which helps to increase blood flow and reduce blood pressure.

]]>You don’t need to overcomplicate it—you want to find a way that your diet fits easily into your life, without overthinking it. Restricting the foods that you love will only end in failure, but filling up on nutritious and delicious foods and crowding out the fried or sweet foods will help you in the long run.
Do not list foods as good or bad as this will increase your want for the so-called ‘bad foods,’ while making you resent or get bored by the ‘good foods’.
Start making small changes each week that are consistent and sustainable. Make a weekly goal and start adding to that every week. Your first goal could be to cook more at home, then add more vegetables to your plate. You could start trying out different whole grains or proteins and eating fruits you have avoided for a while.
Have a day each week you do your grocery shopping and meal prep. You can make some whole grains and protein dishes for the week and cut up your veggies to go in salads or roasted in the oven. It will stop you from ordering in or obsessing about foods you ‘can’t’ eat. You want to always make sure you are organized and you don’t need to worry about your meals.

]]>Have you been eating a lot of chicken breast and hard-boiled eggs? It’s time to try new proteins like shrimp, beef, lamb, salmon, and tuna. Try mixing in some plant-based proteins like chickpeas, black beans, and lentils.
Add more flavor to your dishes with some store-bought or homemade sauces. Chimichurri sauce, Greek yogurt, tahini, Green Goddess dressings, peanut sauces, and pestos are all great choices.
Instead of ordering takeaway, change the type of cuisine you’re cooking every week. Start trying Mexican, Korean, Italian, Greek, Thai, Japanese, and Chinese-inspired recipes. Experiment with spices and herbs for more flavor.
Finding new recipes every week is time consuming and overwhelming so pick a few of your favorites and save them to your computer or write them down. When it’s time to meal prep, you’ll have tons of options that you know you love.

]]>Before you start you want to make sure you have enough reusable food storage containers to keep your prepared food fresh and tasty.
If you generally skip dinner due to laziness or eat out most nights then this is probably the best meal for you to prep for. You won’t have to think about what you want to eat as it will be in your fridge ready for you to heat up and enjoy. Choose a day to do the cooking and decide how many meals you are making. Some people don’t like to eat the same meal for five days.
Frozen vegetables are really great to add to your prep dishes, they taste the same and are as healthy as fresh vegetables. So start with a selection of frozen vegetables for your dish. Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes and parsnips are also delicious and they add some healthy carbs. Whole grains, pulses, and lean protein are all great foods to cook and eat throughout the week.
If you find yourself feeling hungry in the middle of the day, make sure you have healthy prepared snacks available so you don’t eat the chocolate bar.
