The problem: You buy a
ton of fresh fruits and vegetables at the Farmer's Market on the weekend. Then, it sits in your fridge and
rots.

Farmer's Market Haul: enough for all my 1200-calorie days all week long

The solution: Take a picture of it. Then, plan out your meals for the week looking at your picture. By taking all the veggies out and composing them for their portrait, you will remember better what you bought than if you'd chucked all those plastic bags into the fridge compartments!
Also, planning your meals means you're more likely to stick to your healthy eating goals.
The two-fer: Eating fresh, low-calorie and healthy all week long,
because you planned on it. And, your produce doesn't go to waste!
This post is helpful because buying veg and fuits that i dont have time to to eat before they rot is such a problem for me. Any tips for what to do with rotting bananas (besides banana bread)?
ReplyDeleteI make chocolate sauce out of bananas that are going brown.
ReplyDeletePeel banana, cut in half, pop in microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Stir in 1-2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder.
Voila! Instant banana-chocolate pudding. Low fat, no refined sugar!
I love it. It's also a great fuel for running, Z!
