Blending, Juicing , Simple Salad Making and Having a Routine

At some point when I started becoming dedicated to preparing and eating healthy foods, I reached an adjustment point. It took nearly 2 years.
I basically eat fruits and vegetables all day. If i'm extra hungry, I will eat some homemade whole wheat bread, some lowfat yogurt, or some soup, as well.
But in general i start the day off with tea or hot chocolate (made from raw cacao) , fruit and yogurt, and eat a huge salad for lunch.
One thing that has made it easy for me to adhere to this is I prepare a salad on Sunday night and put it in a tupperware container with no dressing. then I can create variety during the week by changing dressings.
I also buy tons of frozen raspberries and eat them with apples for breakfast.
Having a routine has made it so easy to eat healthy.
When I have time, I juice vegetables and then blend them with other ingredients like avocado, in the blender and pour finely chopped vegetables on top to make soup.
I bought a vegetable chopper that creates tiny diced vegetables - it's great for salad and soup.
I make my dinner menu for the week on Sunday, buy all the non-produce items then, and stop off each day for fresh produce on my way home so it doesn't clog up the fridge, get crowded and confused, and turn yucky. We eat it all that night usually, or the next day as leftovers. My fridge isn't big enough for a week's worth of produce!
these are some of the things that help me keep on eating fresh and healthy foods.
