Stock Your Kitchen

If you want to make your to go lunch a quick and easy task, then stock your kitchen with healthy options like those listed below. Pick a few foods that you like and keep them on hand.

Also - keep some storage containers, sandwich bags, a thermos and an insulated lunch bag or cooler to transport and store your lunch.

Vegetables

  • Fresh vegetables – baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, snap peas and precut vegetables are quick to pack
  • You can also buy whole vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers and celery; chop them up when you get home to use throughout the week on sandwiches, wraps or salads
  • Fresh mixed greens or spinach – pile onto sandwiches, wraps or use in salads
  • Frozen vegetables – try those you can steam in the package; a great idea if you've got a microwave available to you during the day

Fruit

  • Whole fruit like apples, bananas, oranges, pears, nectarines, grapes or peaches – these are easy to grab and go
  • Canned fruit (canned in juice, not syrup) - try individual serving cups or cans of mandarin oranges, peaches or fruit cocktail

Whole Grains

  • 100% whole wheat bread, pitas, and/or wraps – if you're trying to cut back on carbohydrate, consider a low-carb version
  • Quinoa or quick-cooking barley

Protein Foods

  • Grilled Tuna
  • Reduced-sodium canned beans
  • Reduced-sodium lean deli meat – try roasted turkey, chicken or roast beef
  • Rotisserie chicken – buy a whole chicken and use it throughout the week
  • Eggs – hard boil these ahead of time
  • Unsalted nuts/nut mix

Dairy

  • Skim or 1% milk – Soymilk or Almond Milk are also god options, especially for those with a lactose intolerance
  • Light yogurt or non-fat Greek yogurt - plain is best, flavored varieties will have more carbohydrate
  • Cottage cheese – try 1% or 2% low-fat cottage cheese to cut back on the calories

Some Extras for Flavor

  • Hot sauce
  • Hummus
  • Light salad dressing
  • Mustard
  • Salsa
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Lime and/or lemon juice

Diets

The one good advice i can give to you about any Diet is that, your Diet will be specific to you, and not just your body type, or the idea of loosing weight. Consult a Doctor about your concerns when it comes to your Health & Diet, follow up with a Nutritionist, find out which foods may or may not work in addressing the concerns you have, remember to include any health charts you may get from your Doctor, information may include; Blood Pressure, Sugar Level these things will help your Nutritionist provide you with Types of foods you should stay away from, this is always important. Now you are ready to dive into a wonderful world of Foods, & Recipes Specifically for your Diet. This is When you consult a Chef.

BnBChefs A Luxury Concierge Service For Real Estate
By Denaldo Bain 23 Nov, 2022
By: Denaldo Bain, Chef & Realtor Increasing your Real Estate Rental Property Value can Happen In 2 Ways! Through increased bookings for the property itself or an increased value in the listed price. A lot of times this is seen by a combination of both methods. But how can you achieve this goal? In the next 4 steps i will give you my personal insight as to how this can happen. Its easy and in most cases wont cost you a dime! #1 Your Property Management - Concierge Services Offered! Property Management is one of the most important things you can have for your rental property. Whether you do it yourself or you hire a professional company or Realtor service. But It goes a little further than just saying that your property is being managed. I have had the opportunity to work exclusively in Luxury Rental Properties as a Personal Chef for the past 20 years. Thats Thousands of clients in hundreds of properties in one of the most Luxurious places in the world The Bahamas. How? by simply filling in the spaces where owners of properties & property managers dont have the time to deal with, Concierge Services! Guests that are staying in these properties require service that is custom to their location, their purpose for the trip, or just simply its what they expect and will pay extra for because its a standard they are used too. This doesn't happen overnight and requires consistency and a standard that exceeds even what they may used too!. I know it works because for 20 years i have not marketed myself as a Chef in this market! But I assure you my success speaks for itself!  #2 Who Is Your Target Audience - Can You Accommodate Kids! If you are serious about your increasing your value then you need to understand who your Target Audience is so you can effectively market to them. A little insight Your Property attracts the same type of clients all the time it really dosen't change! But if you dont target an audience you may see fluctuations in booking, reviews that may not be up to par for your brand or simply you may always be refunding guests or having to explain to your booking platform why you arent doing well. If you aren't doing the numbers and always getting bad reviews and having to refund guests, you may get kicked off that platform, because your reviews will essentially be their reviews. Can You Accommodate Kids? Clients that are travelling as a family and with children are the highest paying customers you will have at your property and they will be consistently booking as a group with the right products offered! Then they will tell everyone because thats what they do! no work for you just great reviews and a marketing team that paid you to do your job. #3 Where Do We Eat! How Equipped Is Your Kitchen Really? The most important room in every home is the Kitchen. Its where we sustain ourselves daily, where we say our goodbyes before leaving out for the day. The kids are doing homework while you cook because for some reason the lighting in the kitchen is excellent! Nothing changes when guests want to rent your home for a vacation or for a shrt extended stay whatever you offer is, chances are they want a home they could cook in like their own! they want to explore and come back as a family and have a meal. This is important to families travelling, remember families will be your most consistent bookings and paying top dollar for a home that feel like a home this happens with having a kitchen they can all fit in! thats equipped with amenities like a dishwasher, Stove, Oven, Knives, Forks, Place Settings etc! A lot of times a home will list we sleeop 16 and when guests check in and decide its time to eat there arent enough plates, forks, knives dont match, i could go on but you get my jist! Remember most homes are managed by owners and professionals and still this occurrence happens. at no ones fault other than this is a really tough jopb to keep up with and most times you may be paying someone to ensure these things are in place. If they are not the client will be unreasonalble and feel as if you just wanted their money and will as for a refund, call you daily with problems because now everything is a problem, because someone had to wait to eat! #4 Why You Should Add A BnBChef Service To Your Property BnBChefs specialize in providing Luxury Food Concierge Services.
