Going Organic - easy as one meal a day

Have you been wondering how you can start your 'great new organic diet' but balking at the prices of supermarket certified organic produce? It's very easy to just go for the 'mainstream' produce when the prices are lower, even if you know its not as good. And then there are some supermarkets which have NOT got good suppliers, and the organic produce is very low quality. So how do you get going if you are shopping in suburbia and want a healthier more organic intake?

I suggest just substituting ONE of your meals per day with certified organic produce. This can be done simply for either Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or the snacks you have during the day. Pantry goods are easy to buy a little at a time until you have a good stock just sitting there waiting to be used for 'this or that'.

Snacks - Organic nuts and good quality dried fruits, fresh fruit, organic spelt crackers with organic soy cream cheese spread, just as a few examples..

Lunch - combine any of the above into a little platter, or....
Organic pasta with pesto and olives. Leave to cool and tub as pasta salad for the next day at work if you want to as well. No cooking or assembly required, just shovel. Same goes for a rice dish like Organic Vegetarian Briyani, a mixture of herbs, spices and veges in a light basmati rice. If you are counting calories, go for a sprout and leaves salad with some rice cakes and Flaxseed Oil.

Dinner - Meat eaters can choose to spend a little on some organic meat of their choice and make a feast of it with a selection of 3 or 4 vegetables. Very simple. You could also use some of the suggestions for Lunch as a Dinner option in larger quantities if you need to feed a family, or partner too.

When you plan the consumption of certified organic produce like this, you can eliminate waste and maximise taste! and healthy eating too ;)
