Who has time to cook?

You can eat well for less with simple cooking techniques.

Processed food companies tell us that it’s hard to cook, takes too much time and expensive.

“You deserve a break today“.  Give me a break.  This is a myth.

Here are a few quick tips.

Breakfast:

Smoothie half cup of fruit, cup of vegetables, protein powder.  Or a green                             powder, ground flax     seeds.  Water, almond milk, rice milk or 100% vegetable                   juice, unsweetened and ice

2 hard-boiled eggs, fruit

Greek yogurt with fruit

Snacks:

Prepare in advance

unsalted whole almonds or walnuts

raw cut up vegetables

whole rye bread with almond butter

Lunch:

Greens, cut up whole vegetables, fruit, walnuts, olive oil, tuna, sardines or chicken              breast balsamic vinegar. Use leftovers from dinner.

Dinner:

You can make a healthy whole food dinner in 20 minutes or less. Quicker than                   ordering fast food in picking it up. The key is to plan ahead. If you don’t like to cut up           vegetables, try buying the prewashed assorted cut vegetables or frozen. Stock up               on spices and herbs that you like.
