Simple Healthy Eating Tips

For portable meals and snacks, use an insulated pack - or two. Keep one for hot and one for cold items. Chill cold items well and keep them cold with small freezer packs or chilled or frozen tetra packs of juice.
Tired of sandwiches and soups in your lunch bag or backpack? Try a tortilla rollup. Spread a tortilla with low fat herbed cream cheese or your favourite mustard, add thinly sliced cooked lean pork, a bit of freshly sliced tomato, cucumber or lettuce, and some grated cheese. Roll up and wrap securely in plastic wrap. When hunger strikes, peel back the wrap and eat like a banana! No forks or spoons required.
Snack size zipper lock bags are perfect for packing snacks on the to go. They're easy to open and close, and when empty, can be stored compactly in a pocket or backpack.
Pack easy-to-eat portable snacks like sandwiches and wraps made with sliced cooked ham, cracker and cheese, pretzels and a juice box, yogurt and fresh or dried fruit. Quick snacks give you energy you need to keep going through the day and to make your activities more enjoyable.
Convenience foods can make busy lives easier, and those that you prepare yourself are the best. When you have time or energy cook large batches of your favourite meals. Divide into meal-size portions, label, and date and freeze them. When you are short on time pop one of your frozen home-made convenience foods into the microwave for a quick healthy meal or snack.
