At the start of every year, many people create a list of New Year’s resolutions and goals that they want to achieve. At the top of many of our lists is to eat healthier and get back in shape. Eating healthier seems easy when you’re making the list, but once the pan hits the burner, things can change.

Eating healthy can get a bad rap from many people. They think that it's expensive, takes a ton of effort, and that the food tastes bland. In reality, eating healthy can be super simple, and the food can be incredibly tasty if you prepare it the right way. Here are a few tips to help start 2019 off right and form some healthy eating habits you'll keep yearlong and for every year after.

Make Meals You Want to Eat

The first myth is that healthy food doesn’t taste good. The reality is, any food, whether it’s healthy or not, can taste bland or unappealing if it isn’t prepared right or if you simply don’t like the ingredients. To build the habit of eating healthy for most of your meals, you should seek out recipes and ingredients that appeal to you. Even habitually unhealthy eaters can make the switch if they know what to look for. Consider what you like in your favorite foods and find healthy alternatives to cook in your smart countertop oven. Seek out one that also comes with a companion app full of chef-inspired recipes,so you stay excited, healthy, and inspired when it comes to your meals. The best smart ovens will even allow you to save your favorite recipes directly to the oven, making cooking a healthy meal easier than ever.

Upgrade Your Kitchen Tech

Eating healthy doesn’t have to take a lot of time when you have the right appliances. Consider upgrading your kitchen by adding a smart oven to your countertop. The best smart ovens will use efficient technology to cook with light to speed up the cooking process without compromising any of the flavors of your meal. Seek out a smart oven that is flexible and can adapt to your lifestyle, meaning it’s there for you whether you want to reheat leftovers, cook up veggies, or get the perfect sear on your steak.

Say No to Drive-Thru

Convenience is a huge factor that drives people to the drive-thru or to order take-out from other restaurants. Cooking at home can feel like a hassle for many people,especially during the weeknights, but if you're committed to eating healthier, with your new favorite recipes in hand, you can make it happen if you plan ahead and stay on course.

Even if you choose to eat out and order a salad or grilled chicken wrap, you could make a similar meal with fresher ingredients at home and save money too. Especially if you can prep your proteins ahead of time, reheating them in your smart oven will help preserve the juicy tenderness while giving it a nice crust if you desire. Even if you’re unable to prep, a smart oven will help as it cooks food faster and some models even have a shorter preheat than an oven, so you can toast, bake, or reheat quicker and more accurately than more traditional means. This all means you save time, money, and your waistline while enjoying a healthy, home-cooked meal at home.

One-Time Meal Kits

Typically, people go through the drive-thru or order in because they feel they don’t have the time to make an exciting, healthy meal. But in the day and age of meal kits and meal subscription services, that’s no longer an excuse. However, it makes sense that you might not want to get locked into a monthly meal plan you’re not sure about, which is part of what makes one-time meal kits so exciting: You get what you want, when you want, without having to get locked into a plan. By purchasing a one-time meal kit online you’ll save time when it comes to shopping, prepping, and clean-up, which makes eating healthy at home even more convenient.Some smart ovens also offer one-time meal kits that the oven knows how to cook, so you’re just a few easy clicks away from a delicious, healthy meal.

Get the Family Involved

Another significant obstacle for many people is eating separate meals than what they prepare for the family. An easy way to overcome this is to get the whole family involved in the meal planning and cooking for that evening or for the week. With your tasty recipes in hand and expert cooking skills, you can start preparing healthy meals with your family that everyone will love. Have your family share the responsibility of picking out recipes and ingredients, as well as prepping and cooking. Though you might still need to make some alterations to your plate depending on the nutrition plan you're following, this will help make everyone invested and interested in what’s for dinner.
