In today’s B-Fit blog I am going to share with you my simple top 3 tips on how to eat healthily when you have hardly any time,have a super busy life and don’t like cooking or spending hours in the kitchen (like me !!).
I promise you , if you implement these 3 simple steps into your life , you will be able to eat healthily, despite your busy life and even, if like me you have minimal cooking skills and dislike spending hours in the kitchen……….
1) Plan ahead and get organised
Go to bed 30 mins to an hour earlier and get up 30 mins to an hour earlier to plan your food.
Make a great , nutritious B-Fit style breakfast, chuck your lunch into a tupperware box eg- spinach salad, tomato, an avocado, beetroot ,a piece of cooked fish or chicken – eg peppered smoked mackerel; a tin of tuna or a salmon fillet (cook an extra piece of fish or chicken the night before) , boiled eggs, or a dollop of organic houmous then add a glug of organic extra virgin olive oil.
See.. the photo above is a typical super quick nutritious mackerel salad of mine that took me aproximately 5 minutes to throw together.Healthy food can be so quick and easy , you just need to make sure you have the right ingredients in and schedule a little bit of time in to prep it.
2) Make time to batch cook occasionally. Schedule in time every now and again at the weekends/ or on your day off to batch cook easy B-Fit style recipes eg healthy soups, curries, casseroles , veggie chilli etc and freeze them in foil containers so you can just take one out the freezer the night before when you are pushed for time in the week.You can batch cook large quantities to last you for a few weeks . There are lots of healthy quick recipe ideas on my B-Fit blog page ( under the ‘Recipies’ category ).I try to involve the kids in the cooking – it’s a great way of getting them interested in healthy eating and broadening their taste buds!Being able to provide and nourish your body with nutritious health food is an essential life skill that we all need to maintain optimum health and is so important to teach our children and grand children.So please pass it on to your loved ones ….
3) Do B-Fit style quick healthy minimal effort meals during the week when pushed for time.
Here’s a few of my favourite under 15 minute healthy, nutritious , meals ( that require minimal/ zero cookery skills!) that I frequently use when really pushed for time in the week:
- Vegetable omelette or frittata- and green salad
- salmon parcels (wrap salmon in tin foil – oven bake for 10 – 15 mins on 180c)or alteternatively you can wrap it in grease proof paper and steam it . Then just add a ‘Ranbow’ B-Fit style salad or lightly steamed veg and sweet potato (chop potato into chunks and steam for 10 mins)
- poached eggs on rye bread with spinach leaves, avocado, steamed or griddled asparagus and tomatoes
- homemade pesto pasta( recipe in my B-Fit 7 step plan ) with brown rice pasta and a green salad
