Self-Care During Quarantine
Healthy Eating Tips
- Drink water! We often head to the kitchen for something to do in downtime moments, just for something to do. Don’t be hard on yourself for that. It’s an unprecedented time. But instead of heading straight for the food, be sure to drink at least one full, tall glass of water.
- Vegetables are your friends! Chopped vegetables with dips can be a perfect afternoon snack. Hummus, nut butter, and guacamole are three easy dips. Salads provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants and there are thousands of amazing recipes online. Make it fun and try new recipes you’ve never made. Experiment with what’s in the fridge.
- Nuts, Peanut Butter, Trail Mix are all good options. You can even try mixing your own with what’s on hand.
- Yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit, whole-grain cereal, or granola.
- Guacamole or Hummus with whole-grain crackers and veggies. Chopping celery, carrots, and cucumbers to dip provide a healthy option.
- Hard-boiled eggs are a good source of protein and nutrients.
- Kitchen Sink Smoothie: Spinach, kale, bananas, berries, juice, or milk (non-dairy too), and any vitamins you have in a blender with ice
- Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants
