Given this lockdown period we have all starting to see some significant changes in our lifestyle. And that’s fair; when you’re at home all day everyday, you run out of things to do pretty quickly. Whether it’s out of boredom or a need for convenience, healthy eating habits are the first things to slip. Why bother cooking something when you can just grab a candy bar, right?
But here’s the thing, just because you have to change the way you live, doesn’t mean you have to give up the healthy habits you’ve been cultivating. It can be tempting in this trying time to just Netflix and Chip, but swapping the junk for something a little healthier can make a world of difference. After all, good food is one of the simple pleasures in life.
That’s why we’ve curated a few recipes from the Cure.fit app that are quick, healthy, and, most importantly, made with everyday ingredients, so you can enjoy nutritious snacks without having to step out to the grocers.
