Healthy Eating Hacks You Need to Know: Part 2
Last time around, we shared some awesome healthy eating hacks that can help you get healthy meals ready in no time. We are back this week for even more helpful hacks. Life is busy, and eating healthy usually gets thrown to the bottom of our priority list when we are juggling work, family, and more. These tips will save you time, sanity, and help you stay healthy.
Shred Chicken in Minutes
Having a container of cooked, shredded chicken in the refrigerator allows you to assemble quick and healthy salads, stirfrys, and more. Just bake several chicken breasts and then once they are cooled, place them in a Kitchen Aide mixer or in a bowl with a hand held mixer. The mixer blade will shred a lot of chicken quickly.
Keep Lettuce Fresher Longer
You try so hard to eat more greens in your diet, but it seems like an impossible task when your lettuce goes bad just days after you bought it. The secret to keeping your lettuce fresher longer is to keep it dry. You can do this by placing your lettuce in a bowl, then placing a paper towel on top of it. Then you can use plastic wrap on the very top. This will keep your greens salad-worthy for a week or longer.
Get More Citrus
Freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice adds a fresh element to any recipe. To get the most juice, first roll the fruit on the counter. Once you slice it, you will have an easier time getting that delicious juice out.
Easy Yogurt Popsicles
To help curb your ice cream cravings this summer, try enjoying a yogurt popsicle instead. It is as easy as buying a four-pack of yogurt, sticking popsicle sticks in them, and freezing them. Kids will love these treats too!
Freeze Leftover Sauce in Cubes
Don’t you just hate when you have leftover sauce that is bound to go to waste if it sits in your fridge too long? Instead of wasting delicious sauce, freeze the extra in ice cube trays. This will then allow you to pop them out and use them in a recipe whenever you need a hint of flavor. You can even make extra sauce on purpose for the freezer, so that you can have a fast and healthy meal almost all ready to go for the next week.
All of these tips make healthy eating simpler than ever. The Joint chiropractic place also makes staying healthy simple and stress-free. The Joint offers regular wellness adjustments that might help relieve back pain and chronic headaches. The best part is that you don’t need an appointment or a big bank account to reap the benefits.
