If you start clean eating it can be really hard. Many products you will find in the supermarket contain added sugar. Additionally cooking fresh needs time and cooking can be stress for you. I will share my pumpkin-carrot-soup with you to show how easy it is to prepare and cook a healthy meal for four days.
I always double the recipe. With one of the half I cook a fresh soup, and the other half is stored in the freezer for the next time. If I have not enough time for fresh cooking, I can use the frozen vegetables. The quantity of the recipe is enough for 4 persons. As we are only 2 at home, it last for two days. That means I am preparing the vegetables one time, using half for fresh soup for two days and use the other frozen half later for a two days soup. Fresh and clean cooking can be so easy!
