How To Eat Healthy All Summer Long
After a year at home, this is going to be one crazy-busy summer.
Although I’m thrilled at the prospect of actually seeing friends IRL, I’ve got to find a balance between the social swirl and quiet nights at home.
I’ll admit it: I spent sedentary months overindulging in screen time, eating takeout, and packing on the pounds. Now that things are opening up, there’s so much to catch up on – and that means reviving my workouts and yoga practice, reinstating a healthy diet, plus attending dinners and family reunions.
One thing I learned during lockdown is how valuable my time is. I love cooking but all the planning and grocery shopping is such a chore I know it’ll be hard to stick to my summer resolutions. Lucky for me, I’ve discovered an ideal solution for accomplishing my Summer goals while staying healthy and spicing up my weekly meals – HelloFresh.
Signing up is super fast because they have 6 plans – Calorie Smart, Family Friendly, Veggie, Quick and Easy, Meat & Veggies, and Pescatarian. The plans can accommodate 2 or 4 people with 2, 3, 4, or 5 recipes per week.
Each week HelloFresh features 25+ simple chef-designed recipes and unique cultural dishes so there will always be a delish dish to check out. I can’t wait to try the Thai Coconut Pork Meatballs.
What to bring to my family’s long overdue potluck picnic? One of the MVPs like Italian Chicken & Pepper Sandos with Potato Wedges & Tangy Garlic Sauce, BBQ Baby Back Ribs with Chili Lime Corn Salad & Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuit Bombs! Or perhaps the HelloFresh classic Juicy Lucy Burger?
I’m not stressing because there’s such a range of international meals that I can rustle up in about 30 minutes, sometimes less. I’m sure the family will love whatever HelloFresh meal I bring!
HelloFresh not only tastes good, it is good. Nothing but wholesome, nutritious meals with all nutritional information and ingredients listed on the HelloFresh site. And the eco-friendly packaging keeps the produce fresh and the meat chilled until I pop ’em in the fridge.
By delivering delicious pre-portioned ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes right to my door, HelloFresh provides everything I need for a rewarding cooking experience. No recipe hunting, grocery lists and grocery runs, over-buying ingredients that get tossed in the trash. No more hour-long cook times, or excessive clean-up.
A HelloFresh meal starts at $7.49 a serving and that’s before the new customer discount. With their completely flexible subscription model, I can skip weeks, swap recipes, pause, or – if I need it – there’s a trouble-free opt out.
HelloFresh makes cooking at home tasty and so convenient. Simple step-by-step recipe cards walk you through concocting superb meals. HelloFresh is delicious, nutritious, convenient, and affordable. With so many culinary choices I’m sticking with HelloFresh!
If the last year has taught us anything, it’s that the virtual world is convenient but the actual world is priceless. The HelloFresh experience will get us back into the world in a healthy, balanced way. I know I’m going to rely on the structure HelloFresh gives me to help balance out what promises to be a summer to remember.
