5 foods hacks for busy people

Life is busy and sometimes we need to take the easy root but life is busy so we also need to eat healthy to stay healthy, so what do we do?
 
Here are my top 5 go to’s on a busy day/week
 

1. Batch cook – I always do some larger batch cooking when I have time, I then separate into portions and freeze for days when I just don’t have the time or energy to cook from scratch. – bolognaise, curry, ratatouille, chilli, shepherds pie, fish pie, chicken chasseur, chicken cacciatore, meatballs, fishcakes, homemade burgers, beanburgers,  lasagne, protein balls etc.
2. Get a plan – plan ahead, when you know what ingredients you need, what recipes you’re using it saves time on shopping, prep and save food.  It also saves you from not knowing what you want and making unhealthy choices
3. Easy go to options – keep some hummus, chopped veggies, precooked proteins (eggs, chicken, fish etc) a good sandwich on a healthy bread or a wrap is a better option than a highly processed ready meal
4. Snack attack – have some satiating snacks on hand – nuts, protein balls, fruit etc
5. Slow cooker fast dinner – slow cookers are great when you are busy, for most recipes you can just chop everything up, throw it in the slow cooker and turn it on (in the morning) then voila you have a delicious dinner ready when work is done and with minimal washing up.

 
 
The main thing is keep it simple and as natural as possible.  
 
When we get busy, stressed or sick our body has more to cope with so it’s more important to be mindful of what fuel we are giving our body to cope with it.
