Low key and simple have been two go-to words to describe our summer eating, as often as possible. Whether it’s on busy days or when snacking seems non-stop before dinner, one foolproof way to get my family, most importantly my kids, to fill up on more nutritious foods is to put out a plate of crudité as I’m prepping dinner or alongside dinner.
If you cut it, they will come 😉 Yup, it’s that simple and I swear that cutting up a handful of veggies is such an easy way to stay satiated before/with dinner without feeling like you’re adding more work to your already busy plate. Got hummus, salad dressing or dips to pair alongside the veggies? The more, the merrier for sure, as I know we won’t mind this mindless eating!
Bonus points for making chopping up veggies part of your meal prep for the week, so they’re always ready but let’s face it – low key is my motto right now (well, as much as I can incorporate into all areas of my life, ha!) and honestly some days/weeks meal prep is too much to handle!
So let’s stop complicating things and control what we can control when it comes to healthy eating – our bodies will thank us and that way, this will balance out the ice cream later on 🙂
