Healthy eating – for as straightforward as it can be, can also be really really difficult. A lot of people will tell you though that planning is what saves you. Make sure to have the right things on hand, and you should be okay, or at least, find things a little easier.
Here’s a quick list of things to keep at home if you’re trying to eat healthier.
The base of any good salad, great for adding to sauces – and a healthy source of iron
Anyway, you like them these are great. They’re filling, packed full of protein, and can be eaten on the go.
Healthy, low-fat fish protein. Make fish tacos, fish pie, steam it and throw it in a salad, or add it to pasta. It’s not too flavorful either, so it’s perfect for adding your own herbs and spices too.
Buy these canned and they’ll keep for (almost) ever. While the most obvious use of these may be a salad, they can also be blended up, turned into sauces, or used to make healthier bases for creamy desserts.

Rice is great – but not all rice is created equal. Thankfully, wild rice exists and is delicious, as well as good for you. Use it to replace white rice, instead of quinoa in a salad, or as the base of a protein-heavy meal.
For breakfast, and for baking (seriously!) Greek yoghurt is perfect. It’s also great in smoothies, or when you’re just craving something sweet.
Need we say more?
Fry them, steam them, toast them, boil them. These are extremely versatile and work in both sweet and savoury meals.
Almonds are our favourite and thankfully can be used in any number of ways: to make milk, to make butter, just as a snack.
Perfect for baking, breading (instead of breadcrumbs, blend up some oats), granola, and smoothies.
