<h2>Organising Your Fridge and Cupboards</h2>

Organising Your Fridge and Cupboards

Saving time, money and space starts with your storage. Make the most of your fridge and cupboard space. In doing so, it will be easier to cook healthy dinners more efficiently, also helping to reduce food waste.

Prioritise the foods you reach for most

The foods you and your family eat the most should be easy to reach and find in your fridge and cupboards. Once you've placed those, then begin adding the rest of your food.

Think about different storage temperatures

Certain foods require certain temperatures to keep them fresh and lasting as long as possible. For example, keep milk on the bottom shelf of the fridge door where it's coldest, as well as juices and soft dairy products, such as butter and soft cheese.

Move older items to the front when stocking new products

You don't want to waste produce you've already bought, so make sure to rotate older items to the front when restocking the fridge. Use these before you open a new packet or bottle.

Invest in storage solutions and gadgets

TikTok has caused a huge surge in popularity for storage boxes, shelf dividers and labels. This is because they help you save time when prepping meals. You can find and access items in your fridge or cupboards easily by using storage boxes and labels. Simply refresh labels or boxes when you do your food shopping.

Keep dinner and lunches organised with ready meals

Ready meals make fridge organisation easy. Simply choose your meals for the week and organise them based on weekday within your fridge. Ready meals are perfectly shaped to stack on top of each other, making them the ideal solution for fridge organisation and quick meals. Not only this, but Youfoodz offers quick ready meals for every diet type, including vegetarian, flexitarian and low calorie.
Pre-Prepare Your Ingredients

Pre-Prepare Your Ingredients

Having to wash, dry, peel and chop your vegetables or ingredients every night can be a real obstacle to healthy eating. Preparing ingredients so that they’re ready to cook minimises meal preparation time during the week. That means you’re more likely to opt for healthy ingredients, as they’re ready and waiting.

An easy way to get into the routine of this is choosing Sunday evening as your meal prep time. Once prepped, keep ingredients in the correct storage space in the fridge. When necessary, submerge the ingredients in water to prevent them from drying out.
<h2> Make A Plan and Stick To It </h2>

Make A Plan and Stick To It

Failure to prepare is preparing to fail, and this applies to dinnertime, too. At the start of the week, creating a plan of what and when to eat reduces decision-making, shopping and prepping time. When you come home from work with the idea of dinner ready to heat and eat, being prepared never tasted so good. If you don't have time to prep, Youfoodz can do it for you. We have a huge selection of ready meals to choose from, including delicious Nonna's spaghetti and this flavoursome Mohit's butter chicken.
 Make The Most Of Leftovers

Make The Most Of Leftovers

Before you go to throw that surplus pasta, leftover beef or untouched broccoli in the trash, think again. One evening's loss could be tomorrow’s lunch’s gain by expanding the life of your leftovers and eating it for another meal. That’s one less time you have to cook something, and you’re guaranteed to enjoy it!

You could eat your leftovers in the same way you ate them the first time, or by doing something small, you could transform them into a new, exciting dish that switches things up. For example, adding chillies to your bolognese, pairing leftover protein with a different carbohydrate, or putting more fresh vegetables into your leftover stew. Leftovers don’t have to be boring. What's better is choosing ready meals with perfectly portioned meals that don't leave leftovers the next day. Each meal is the right size for one person, and you can order a week's worth of ready meals with Youfoodz, so you're set for the week! They're cooked fresh in-house, too. You're guaranteed the freshness of home-cooked meals without any of the effort. Try one today!
