You live in a time when your days are often characterized with rush and hurriedness. You eat chaos for breakfast, lunch and sometimes, even dinner. More often than not, you eradicate the word healthy out of your meals. You just don't have the time to chop those vegetables or whip up a healthy dressing to go with your salad greens. And the healthiest food you can think of that requires the least bit of work is an apple – after all, isn't that adage, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, quite true?
The answer is yes. Eating something raw and fresh should be part of your eating lifestyle. No matter how busy you are, there is no excuse not to eat something raw and healthy. Bite an apple, pop in some grapes or raw walnuts in your mouth, chew on a carrot stick. Buy frozen healthy meals.
Start off with frozen veggies. The frozen kind can be just as healthy as the fresh kind - especially if you get the non-branded kind. Store bought frozen vegetables usually retain most of their vitamins and minerals and they don't easily get spoiled. However, stay away from frozen veggies that come with sauces and seasonings – they are loaded with fats and sodium and they cost more.
Do you know that you can actually walk down the frozen food aisle and find yummy meals like roasted beef and spinach ravioli? These yummy meals can be prepped in less than five minutes. What's more? They cost less, easy and pre-portioned to avoid overeating. Try one frozen meal at a time and pretty soon you'll realize which ones really taste good and which ones can truly satisfy your hunger.
Here are some of the healthy frozen meals that made it to the top list of the weight watchers and consumer reports. Look for these delish and healthy dishes next time you stroll down the frozen food aisle --- Healthy Choice Roasted Beef Merlot, Kashi Chicken Florentine and Lean Cuisine Santa Fe Style Rice and Beans.
To elevate these delish dishes one notch higher in the healthy scale, don't forget to eat some fruits with it. Remember to grab an apple and put in those pre-sliced pineapples and watermelons found on the fruit chiller and drop them in your grocery cart. Buy the fruits in season – cherries are rich in anti-oxidants. You can freeze them to avoid spoilage. Fruits are the best partners of your healthy frozen meals.
Don't leave breakfast out of the frozen meal plan. Don't give in to the temptation of going to your favorite fast food chain and conveniently order a high cal hash brown and a cup of steaming sugar-laden hot chocolate for breakfast. Make your breakfast healthier by heating up previously cooked and frozen rolled oats. Simply pour some low-fat milk and add a pipkin of mascuvado sugar to the mix – or better yet, drop off some frozen blueberries or any sliced fruits to your bowl.
Now you can honestly say that no matter how crazy and busy your life is, there are still ways to eat and live healthy.
