Make Vegetables Easy
Cut a variety of vegetables at home and store them in air-tight containers. You'll be more likely to use them if they're ready-to-go. Good candidates: sweet potatoes, kale, broccoli, red peppers and celery.

Skip Store-Bought Granola
Skip store-bought granola (it's loaded with fat and sugar), and make your own. Combine rolled oats with chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds; stir in a little honey mixed with hot water; bake at 200 degrees until golden. Stir in dried cranberries and let cool.
