Back to Explore Habits

Organize your kitchen so healthy foods are in plain sight and temptations are out of reach.

Micro-habits to get started

Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:

Fruit bowl on the counter

Clear snacks off your counter and replace them with a bowl of washed fresh fruit.

What you see without opening anything is what you end up eating.
5 min
The eye-level shelf

Keep pre-cut vegetables in clear glass containers, hard-boiled eggs, and plain yogurt at eye level in the fridge.

Leftovers and treats go to the back or lower drawers.

Emergency kit

Stock staples for three five-minute meals: canned beans, canned fish, eggs, and frozen vegetables.

Late-night takeout orders almost always happen from lack of ready alternatives.
