The start of the New Year is a great time to make some positive changes in your life. So, this new year we think it’s the perfect time for a fridge cleanse. Many people don’t realize but each time we head to the fridge what we find impacts our eating choices. For example if our fridge is filled with fatty foods and they’re sitting front and centre then the chances are that we’ll reach for this types of foods.
Restock and choose healthy
Take stock of what’s in your fridge and cull the food that you do not want to indulge in. Fill it instead with healthy, colourful fresh fruits and vegetables. With Liebherr, you know that you can buy this produce in bulk and store for weeks so there shouldn’t any waste. When your fruits and veggies are starting to look less appealing but still okay to eat you can blend them into smoothies, dice them into soups or bakes.
Reorganize and dispose
Before you stock up on the fruit and veggies make sure you give your refrigerator a thorough clear out. Discard anything with an expired use by date; you’ll be surprised with the amount of sauces and condiments that have actually expired but are still sitting in your fridge. In this way you can save your household for an imminent food poisoning.
Cleanup and deodorize
Wipe down the entire fridge –a soft cloth and a little soapy water will do the trick. If your fridge has a little smell from all the Christmas leftovers then use some vanilla essence as a safe and natural odour neutraliser.
Plan and schedule
Before you shop, work out a meal plan for the week and write down the items you will need. If you have all the produce for the meals ahead of time it will mean that you are less likely to order takeout or head out to dinner.
Once you have an array of delicious healthy food at your fingertips you will find it easier to live a healthy lifestyle.
