As we head into this nutrition challenge I want to share with you some tips and some things I always have in my refrigerator that help speed things up and make eating healthy on the run easier.
Kitchen Equipment I can’t live without
Ninja – I freaking LOVE this thing. It may look like some horrible torture device but it is a HUGE time saver in the kitchen. Anytime a recipe states something needs chopped, minced, finely shredded, throw it in the ninja and voila…it is done!
Tupperware – get a good set. Lots of different sizes and shapes. This is what my refrigerator is stocked with during the week so I can grab and go easily!
Crock Pot – because who wouldn’t love to throw a bunch of stuff into a pot and then come back 6 hours later to a meal AND a delicious smelling house!
My MUST HAVES in the Pantry
Canned coconut milk
Ginger
Coconut Oil
Sesame Oil (I love asian food)
Coconut Flour
Ginger
Johnny’s seasoning salt
Peanut butter (yes, I know its not paleo) – I usually keep the single serve packets handy to grab and go
Sweet Potatoes (I buy them in bulk at Costco)
Onions (Get these in bulk at Costco too)
Balsamic vinegar
Steel cut oats
Refrigerator MUSTS – I basically always have this stuff in my fridge
Eggs (my go to quick protein source)
Cauliflower (cauliflower rice is one of my all time favorites) – I buy it pre-cut at costco
Pre-cooked chicken
Sun dried tomatoes in olive oil (these are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G thrown into cauliflower rice)
Coconut aminos (great for cooking and subbing for soy sauce)
Mustard
Broccoli – cook this by throwing a bunch of florets into a tupperware with some water in the bottom into the microwave for about 1 min
Lemons – throw these in your water jug in the am and they help you drink the water faster and have tons of other health benefits
Apples – easy to grab on the go and 1/2 = 1 block
French beans – like green beans, come in a large bag at Costco. Easy to steam and flavor with balsamic vinegar
Butter
Ketchup – yes, I know it is not paleo but you try to take my ketchup away and we are going to have problems
Hope this helps to get you planning for starting this challenge on Wednesday!
