As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I always look for quick and easy recipes to help make meal planning and prep a little easier. I love to cook, but after a long day of work, the last thing I want to do is spend hours in the kitchen. Spending a little time at the start of each week to meal plan can be such a time saver and has a whole slew of other benefits. What Are The Benefits of Meal Planning?
1. Save time and reduce stress
Planning meals in advance can save you time as you can prepare ingredients and cook meals ahead of time. It can make mealtime more enjoyable, too, since you don’t have to worry about what to make for dinner at the last minute.
2. Save money
Planning meals in advance can help you save money by reducing food waste and avoiding impulse purchases at the grocery store. Research shows that the total annual cost of wasted food was estimated to be $240 billion or $1,866 per household.
That’s $155.50 of wasted food EACH MONTH! Meal planning and using a grocery list can help you assess what food you already have and can help prevent over-purchasing at the store.
3. Improve nutrition
Meal planning allows you to make healthier food choices by ensuring that you have a variety of nutrient-dense foods on hand. It helps you plan meals and snacks centered around nourishing fruits and veggies, which we often fall short on.
Meal Planning Tips to Include More Fruit and Veggies:
1. Plan snacks that include a fruit or veggie
Having a simple grab-and-go snack on hand is key! I love having fruit like Sweet Blooms® Strawberries + greek yogurt, Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers + hummus, and Cloud 9® Bite-Sized Fruity Tomatoes + cheese for balanced and nourishing snacks.
2. Fill half your plate with veggies
Including a variety of veggies with your meals and snacks will help you nourish your body with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Sometimes, our favorite fruits and veggies aren’t in season. This often means less flavorful produce and decreased consumption of these important foods.
Luckily, you can still enjoy your favorite fruits and vegetables year-round thanks to the latest innovative greenhouse technology that allows Pure Flavor® to grow the highest quality produce in every season. Like tomatoes!
Their Cloud 9® tomatoes are just as healthy as they are sweet! Making them the perfect addition to our sheet pan salmon. Each tomato is packed with vitamins and nutrients like Vitamin C, lycopene, and iron to help create a nutrient-packed dinner.
