Build a salad bar for the fridge's bottom shelf. After grocery shopping, wash and prep all fresh veggies/fruits. Store attractively chopped, sliced & minced ingredients in clear sealed bags, filed in an easy- to- reach storage box with a tight lid, so you can bring it all out at once.
MORE INFORMATION:
Healthy choices will be at your fingertips, even if you are tired! Use prepped ingredients to make far more than fresh salads. Similarly prepare & freeze thinly-sliced lean meats and servings of rice. You can then prepare fresh soups, stir fries & casseroles in minutes by adding broth or cheeses!

Everyday I prepare for my next day at work, and for the meals I will eat, by making sure that all the foods that are healthy and good (fruits and veggies) are at hand and already prepped. That way when I am packing my lunch I can just grab and go, and I don't get discouraged with lengthy prep time.267
When I am in the kitchen preparing a meal I think ahead to the next meal and ask myself, "will I be eating this at home?" If the answer is no, then I go ahead and prepare the next meal to take with me - this makes it easy to take my lunch or dinner with me, and doesn't add alot to the prep. time. I work shift work, so this is a handy way to keep on track - try it, it's simple and effective!
