Hey,
As a parent of two young kids myself, I also experience the constant mental load of having to magically conjure up meals and snacks everyday.
The pursuit of balance, variety and nutrition often feels like an endless marathon.
I get it. It's draining and time-consuming, adding to the already weighty load of daily responsibilities.
One strategy to lighten this load? Externalize the ideas.
Creating a go-to reference sheet is a game-changer—a tool that offers instant inspiration when your brain is occupied elsewhere.
This is one of the strategies that I teach in my brand new FED Program!
I explore different strategies to streamline food planning.
Need some inspiration to get you started? Here are five easy ideas:
1. Fruit and Cheese Kabobs
Thread your favourite fruits and cheese cubes onto skewers for a fun and nourishing snack. (Skewers are optional.)
2. Corn or Rice Thins with Toppings
Spread cheese or nut butter on corn or rice cakes for a quick and crunchy snack.
3. Veggie Chips or Straws with Hummus
Dip veggie chips or straws into hummus, guacamole or your preferred dip for a satisfying crunch.
4. Mini Bagels with Spreads
Mini bagels smeared with cream cheese or nut butter make for a fuss-free snack.
5. Greek Yogurt with Berries
Pair vanilla Greek yogurt with thawed frozen berries for a refreshing and nutritious option.
