Healthy Refrigerator

Healthy Refrigerator

Today was a little busy, but still on track.  There were moments I did crave something "bad" but knew I was craving it not because of hunger, but because of stress.  I caught myself opening the fridge multiple times.  But good thing, I cleaned out the fridge and stocked up the fridge with lots of fresh goodness. 

I use to have tons of moldy veggies and fruits because they are left in the drawers and are forgotten.  I switched the organization of the refrigerator by putting all fruits and veggies and "immediate-go-to" food visible and the "after 6" items in the drawers - eggs and other dairy products.

With my bad habit of opening the fridge (even though the second, third... fifth time, nothing has changed inside the fridge), snack-proofing my fridge to a healthy zone makes the bad habit not so bad.

In short, these are 2 tips, try one of them!
  • Pre-wash and chop all fruits (and some veggies - I heard washing leafy greens too soon before use will make them go bad faster? Not sure how true this is... but with all honestly, I don't easily "snack" on leafy green veggies... I just don't!)  When you pre-wash, it's ready to go into the mouth faster than opening a bag of chips!
  • Snack-proof your fridge by making healthy food visible and processed/"after 6" food in the drawer.
 Do you do this too?  What are your refrigerator tips?  How do you overcome bad snacking?
