4 inspirational everyday ideas for healthy eating
Personal resolutions can sometimes feel a bit 'samey':
- Lose weight!
- Exercise more!
- Read those books piling up next to the bed!
We all make them, and often fail to keep them. So, why not make the promises you make to yourself and your body a little bit more inspirational. If you thought healthy eating couldn’t be inspiring, think again! We've got four healthy and tasty ideas that will be easy to make part of your everyday routine.
1. Swap out your usual dairy products for plant-based alternatives
Supermarket shelves are now stacked with a variety of delicious plant based dairy, so why not give some of these swaps a try.
- Usual milk -> Oat milk
- Usual yoghurt -> Coconut yoghurt
- Usual cheese -> Almond cheese
Look for products that are unsweetened and fortified with the nutrients that are important to you. Once you find an alternative that you love, it’s easy to create healthy and tasty dishes the whole family will enjoy. We love mixing up a bowl of delicious coconut yoghurt with Zespri™ kiwifruit, honey and a few nuts – it’s a dessert you can eat every day of the week!
1. Make your own fruit and vegetable chips for a box set marathon
Some evenings, there’s nothing better than curling up on the sofa to watch a few episodes of our favourite box set. So, if you like to snack, give this tasty treat a go:
Take your favourite winter fruits and vegetables (including a couple of Zespri™ SunGold or Green kiwifruit), thinly slice and place on a baking tray. Cook in your oven on the lowest heat possible until they are dry and crunchy. Turn on the TV and enjoy!
3. Create a colour theme
Eating healthy foods everyday doesn’t have to be boring. Why not make Monday a green day? The vibrant ripe flesh of Zespri™ Green kiwifruit combines excellently with sweet and savoury ingredients such as apples, grapes, avocado and spinach. Try a yellow Tuesday. Zespri™ SunGold kiwifruit are a high quality ingredient that is delicious in dishes made with lemons, bananas, yellow peppers and yellow squash. And why stop there? Red Wednesday, purple Thursday… create a rainbow of a week!
4. Mix up traditional meals
If you’ve got young ones in your life, try this little experiment: “Tonight, we’re having pizza for dessert!”
Whilst they’ll be thrilled with the idea, you’ll also be thrilled with how nutritious this inspirational idea is: Dessert Pizzas with Zespri™ kiwifruit. Combining Zespri™ kiwifruit with other fruits and a gluten-free base is both a delicious and healthy way to sure become a family favourite.
