These five simple strategies will SAVE YOU WEEKNIGHT TIME while delivering nutritious, delicious, feel-good feasts.

DINNER? DONE!

JUST ADD PROTEIN

HOW IT SAVES TIME:

Prep a fresh-veggie combo that will keep in the fridge for a few days and pair it with a quick no-cook protein (think tinned fish, frozen cooked shrimp) when you're ready to dig in.

Our slaw features cabbage, bok choy, and carrots that pack fiber and phyto-nutrients, which nourish good gut bacteria and help calm inflammation.

FREEZE, THEN ASSEMBLE

HOW IT SAVES TIME:

On a weekend, make a batch of meatballs to store in the freezer (scallions, garlic, and ginger add big flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits here). After a long workday, microwave for 2 to 3 min. (in a bowl, covered with a damp paper towel), then pile into lettuce cups for a light but satisfying dinner.
