When it comes to eating well, lack of time is one of the most common barriers to meal planning and changing eating habits. An essential component of making your wellness goals stick is prioritizing meals that are not only nutritious and satisfying, but also convenient. By focusing on adding nutrient-dense and convenient ingredients into recipes that accommodate your busy schedule, you may find it easier to adhere to new changes. Food City’s Dish in a Dash recipes offer quick and convenient meal solutions that add key nutrients to your eating plan.
Save time with ShortCuts. For a quick dinner option, rely on the convenience of washed, prepped and recipe ready vegetables to boost fiber, vitamins and minerals.
