A few tips to prevent food waste in your kitchen!
- Re-use ingredients
- Even if you have just a hint of spinach left, use it to toss in a smoothie later in the week rather than tossing out.
- Meal prep meticulously
- Plan out your meal prep so that you can re-use your ingredients and aren’t wandering aimlessly around the grocery store (yeah, we’ve all been there).
- Keep pantry staples readily available
- This way, you can make a meal out of mostly pantry ingredients when you’ve maximized your meal prep mid-week. It’s like a free meal!
- Freeze leftovers to enjoy in the middle of the week
- Now you don’t have to worry about ingredients spoiling and have extra meals readily available.
- Keep produce on hand that stays well for longer without spoiling.
- Those carrots, celery, and onions will make the perfect mid-week omelette.
- Save your food scraps!
- Turn them into a soup or broth to sip on all week long.
- Keep herbs in water
- cover them with a silicone or reusable mini bag to keep them fresh for up to 2 weeks!
- If you get sick of your own meals, ask to swap with a friend!
- It’s like take-out but more personalized!
