Healthy + Simple Meals Made in Minutes!

How do I make healthy + simple meals? What are the best foods to get at the grocery store? Is there a way to make quick + simple meals that don’t require many ingredients?

If grocery shopping, meal choosing, ingredient decisions become stressful, then you are at the right place. As a woman, wife, mother, personal trainer who looks to keep life healthy, simple and easy; this is what works for me. So, when I am searching for an idea for a meal, or decisions about foods to choose at the grocery store; I go by the list below. Because when foods are broken down into sections that we can see visually it’s easier to make wise choices.

So whether you are a vegan, meat-lover, carb conscious, vegetarian, etc. this chart will work for anyone. Now it’s best to have a variety of foods in our diet; because I know personally how easy it is to get in a food rut. Therefore, by organizing foods into 6 healthy categories, it makes it simple to pick a food. And I suggest when planning a meal, choose at least 3 foods from the different categories. As this will create a healthy, well-balanced, nutrient loaded meal.

Now before you get started, there are a few tips to share with you. As you probably know, some foods are better for you in smaller quantities, like fruits (due to high sugar content); yet others, like vegetables can be eaten in abundance. So, when you are choosing the foods; create a well-balanced low GI index meal by keeping the lean proteins + vegetables as first choices. Then supplementing with the complex carbs & fruits. Finally, add a healthy fat in moderation and then season. And that’s it, your meal planning is done! Plus, you can print this page and bring it to the grocery store with you as your shopping list.

In addition, to your healthy + simple meals; remember to add some workouts during your week too. As the best way for living a healthy & balanced life is eating nutritious food and exercising your body on a regular basis.
