Fresh is Best Washington Produce

School got out at the beginning of June and the summer munchies set in. I don't thrive under a lack of structure, so I decided to hurry and prep my food just like I would during the school year! No packaged foods, everything as fresh as possible, and ready to eat so when the cravings hit, I was ready for battle!

Veggies to keep on hand:

Baby Carrots
Sugar Snap Peas
Celery
Chopped cucumbers
Fresh Spinach
Chopped bell peppers
Chopped lettuce

Extras:

Boiled eggs
Cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
Kalamata Olives
Pita pockets
Grilled red peppers
Grilled tofu, chicken

The more I have prepped, the better off I will be. I have found that the olives add great flavor to any dish as well as good fats! I like to have things prepped so when I get a moment away from my work, I know I have a safe and healthy option to dive into!

A great local option for produce is Washington Produce! Such an amazing option to purchasing fruits and veggies! I picked up my first order today, all of which arrived in the store today! You can order organic, pre-cut, and tons of local options! And I am about 99% sure I saved A LOT of money compared to the grocery store!
