With some strategic planning and prep time, food and fitness can fit into your healthy lifestyle.


 

How to Make Energy Balls

Bring them everywhere, these energy balls are a delicious and healthy snack!

 

Make time for working out

You may not have time to go to the gym. But that’s not the only place where you can exercise! Go for a walk at lunch. Walk again before getting into your car. Fit in 10-minute increments of exercise when you can, until you reach 30-60 minutes per day.


Keep a water bottle with you

Do you get so busy at work that you forget to sip fluids all day? Keep a water bottle on your desk or in your car, so you can drink water all day long.


Keep healthy snacks at your desk

Keep healthy snacks at your desk

Some days are hectic and it’s tough to take time for lunch. Make sure you have handy snacks at your desk, in your car or briefcase. Keep nuts, seeds and dried fruit in portion-packed containers. Whole grain crackers, nut butter and protein bars are great in a pinch.


Healthy slow cooker recipes

Save time in the evening by making dinner at breakfast! Set your slow cooker and dinner will be ready when you get home. Try a slow cooker beef and chick pea stew or bean soup.

Use frozen vegetables

Frozen vegetables

Want to get a stir-fry on the table in minutes? Skip the step of chopping vegetables by using frozen items instead. Buy a blend of mushrooms, broccoli, sweet peppers, baby corn and cauliflower. Add olive oil and garlic to your pan or wok, and stir-fry until you reach your desired consistency.


Make a quick pizza

For a superfast dinner that’s as good as delivery, make a fast pizza that everyone will love. Use whole grain tortilla or pita as the base, and add sauce, cheese and your favourite vegetables.

Get kids involved in meal prep

If you divide kitchen tasks between family members, all of the jobs will be done quickly. Kids can help set the table, make a salad, clear dishes and wash up.


Healthy Bites

Want your leafy green vegetables to last longer? Store them wrapped in paper towel.

Not sure how much meat is one portion? It’s about the size of a deck of cards.
