1 Pre-cut fruit
Usually way more expensive and loses nutrients faster once it’s cut.
Swap: Buy whole fruit and chop it yourself. It’s fresher, cheaper, and you can prep for the week in minutes.

2 Bagged salad kits
Most have inflammatory dressings, extra cheese, and hidden sugars.
Swap: Grab a head of lettuce + pre-washed greens, then add your own olive oil, lemon, and seeds/nuts.

3 Packaged instant oatmeal
Most have unnecessary sugar and artificial flavors.
Swap: Go for plain rolled oats and add cinnamon, protein powder/egg whites, or berries for natural flavor and balance.

4 Dried fruit (like mangos)
Sounds healthy, but it’s super concentrated sugar and often coated with extra sweeteners.
Swap: Fresh fruit or unsweetened frozen fruit gives you the same taste without the sugar spike.

5 Frozen dinners
Convenient, yes but full of sodium, preservatives, and low-quality ingredients.
Swap: Batch-cook a protein + veggies on Sunday. Store in glass containers so you have your own “frozen dinners” ready to go.

6 Shelf-stable nut milks
A lot have gums, oils, and preservatives to sit unrefrigerated for months.
Swap: Grab the refrigerated versions with just nuts + water, or make your own in 2 minutes with a blender and nut butter.
