6 Time-Saving Strategies to Eat Healthy with a Busy Schedule

No matter how busy you are, you still want to be able to eat healthy.

  • You want more energy.

  • You want to feel amazing in your body.

  • You want to feel confident in your skin.

  • You want to be organized, productive, and unstoppable.

  • You want to show up as your best self for quality time with your spouse and children.

So how do you accomplish all of that with such a hectic schedule?

Today, I’m sharing SIX STRATEGIES you can use to eat healthy when you have no time!

Let’s dive in:

STRATEGY #1

I recently shared 5 Time-Saving Tips to Make Your Life Easier and Healthier!

You can read all of the tips HERE>>

One of my favorite tips from that article is to Tip #3: Freeze.

We can all eat more fruit and veggies.

But if you don’t have time for all that washing, cutting, prepping, storing, there’s an easy solution:

Buy frozen veggies and frozen fruit.

They’re frozen at peak freshness, so they have just as many nutrients as fresh veggies and fruit.

They’re chopped, washed, and ready to go.

It’s like having a built-in sous chef…in your freezer.

STRATEGY #2

The best starting point to eating healthy when you have no time is to not overcomplicate it!

Simple is best.

Simple means doable, realistic, and sustainable.

To help you not overcomplicate healthy, balanced meals that will give you energy and help you feel great, I created a FREE guide 😊

It’s called The Busy Person’s Ultimate Guide to Quick and Easy Meals & Snacks.

You’ll be able to create 21 (yes, 21!) simple, quick, easy, healthy, uncomplicated meals and snacks in 15 minutes or less…

Using only a few ingredients.

Boom!

Take these 10 pantry staples and create 21 meals in NO TIME 😉

STRATEGY #3

One of the best ways to eat healthy when you’re short on time is to leverage breakfast time!

Win the morning, win the day.

When you start your day off strong, everything else the rest of the day seems to fall into place.

It’s much easier to feel healthy the rest of the day when you’ve started your day on the “right” foot, with something that fuels you and makes you feel awesome.

A great way to win the morning and win the day when you have no time?

A green smoothie!

STRATEGY #4

Another great way to eat healthy when you’re short on time is to leverage snack time.

When you skip snacks or go a long time without eating or choose sugary snacks, your blood sugar crashes and your energy tanks.

And that leaves you feeling ravenous by dinner, where you’re likely to overeat, or binge on anything in sight before dinner is even ready.

Eat healthy and feel healthy by creating balanced snacks for your busy and on-the-go lifestyle.

This video walks you through exactly how to create balanced snacks.

Want easy recipes for creating more balanced snacks?

Try making these Lemon Blueberry Muffin Energy Balls or No-Bake Chewy Trail Mix Bars.

They each have a balance of protein, fiber-rich carbs, and healthy fats to keep you full, satisfied, and energized.

STRATEGY #5

If you’re eating out or getting delivery, ask yourself:

“What’s one thing I can ADD to make this healthier?”

Often, you’re told to take things away. To remove something unhealthy from your dinner order or lunch order.

Don’t do that.

I say it’s a lot easier to eat healthy consistently and make progress with your habits, health, and happiness when you ADD something.

Don’t restrict, limit, or deprive. Add, ADD, ADDDD!

Perhaps you add roasted veggies as a side to your pasta?

Or you add steamed edamame as an appetizer to your fried rice?

Get creative and have fun with what you can add.

When you add something healthy to takeout, delivery, or your restaurant meal, you won’t be adding any extra effort or time to eat healthy.
