Put snack pairings together
"I keep foods that are smart snack combos (natural almond butter and apples, or low-fat cottage cheese and celery) close to each other. This reminds me of the good snack options I have and makes it really fast to assemble them."
Hydrate your herbs
"Place herbs like parsley and cilantro stems-down in a cup of H2O and cover with a plastic bag. The water keeps them fresh longer (just change it every few days). Seeing the herbs will make you want to cook with them—a good thing, as they add flavor but hardly any calories or sodium.Pick minis for trigger foods
"If you love avocados, say, but don't want to overdo it, store serving-size containers of guacamole on a middle shelf. Guac is full of healthy fat and great in taco salad or for dipping veggies. You can get portion sizes of cheese and chocolate, too."Move back your comfort foods
"Put less healthy meals, such as macaroni and cheese, in opaque containers. Then hide them behind your healthy stuff so they're not as top-of-mind."Share This:
