Do you have an action plan for health?

Here are my 3 handy tips for making your week run just a little bit more smoothly:

 

Step 1

Plan your weekly meals: Planning your week in healthy meals and making sure you’re cooking at home for the majority of the week will help you to understand exactly what’s in the food you’re eating. It’s also a whole lot easier to make a shopping list and only have to go to the shops once a week.

    Instead:

    Step 2

    Write a weekly shopping list: Aim to shop just once per week. Handy hint… I have a note that lives in my iphone that is a shopping list that is shared between everyone in my house so as we run things down during the week, we are all responsible for adding to it. It halves the time you spend making lists each week.

    Step 3 

    Staples: There are a handful of ingredients I call staples that I always have on hand in my pantry. Here’s a quick few to get you started:

    1. Whole grains (quinoa, a few types of rice, buckwheat, rolled oats)
    2. Pasta
    3. Tinned tomato
    4. Passata
    5. Tomato paste
    6. An assortment of tinned and dried legumes and pulses
    7. Nuts
    8. Dried fruit
