8 tips to prepare a healthier meal

It doesn't have to be complicated.

1. Put enough vegetables on your shopping list
Opt for fresh vegetables, but also keep a few boxes of frozen vegetables in stock if you have the opportunity. When you have enough vegetables at home, you always have a healthy basis for a wok dish, a pasta sauce or a soup.

2. Eat vegetables with every meal
Vegetables aren't just for dinner. Drink a smoothie in the morning with a handful of spinach, or opt for a different breakfast with vegetables, and make a well-filled lunch salad for lunch.

3. Everywhere some green leaves
A few leaves of lettuce make any meal healthier, whether it's a sandwich, pizza or pasta.

4. No double bread
Do you always put the topping between two sandwiches? Remove the top loaf and spread generously on both halves.

5. Use Greek yogurt
Greek yogurt is a good and healthier substitute for crème frache. More dishes for which you can use Greek yogurt.

6. Measure your portions
You cannot eat unlimited food from healthy dishes. If you get rid of a meal that is actually intended for two people every night, that is not very healthy. Therefore, weigh your ingredients and freeze extra portions if necessary, so that you can prepare a quick healthy meal at a later time.

7. Use herbs Herbs add flavor to your dish and have several health benefits. Also a nice bonus:a tasty dish ensures that you are full faster.

8. Make noodles from zucchini
Or how about cauliflower rice?
