Get Happy and Healthy with Heritage in 2024
Many of us in 2024 will be making new year’s resolutions around improving our diet along with keeping fit and healthy, both in body and mind, it’s more important than ever. Here at the Heritage Fine Food Company, we are passionate about encouraging all ages to eat more healthily. In 2023 we delivered over 15,000 fruit and veg boxes to families across the South West and ran campaigns to encourage healthier eating with recipe blogs and videos too.
By supporting local businesses like Heritage, you not only get access to the freshest and highest quality produce, but you also help sustain the local economy. We take pride in supporting local and UK growers wherever possible and saving wonky veg too! From extra large swedes and parsnips to curly cucumbers we save what the supermarkets would reject, reducing food waste and supporting sustainable farming practices. Buying from us also reduces packaging waste as most of our produce comes loose. We offer free delivery right to your doorstep and a free gift each week with curated boxes. Live a more sustainable, healthy lifestyle while enjoying the convenience of getting your fruit and veg delivered to your door, with excellent customer service (no chatbots here, just a friendly human!).
Kickstart your 2024 with our tips to eating more healthily. Here’s to a Happier and Healthier New Year.
Plan Ahead
Menu planning, ordering online and getting your food delivered really helps to make eating healthier an easier task and helps keep the shopping bill down too. Order a regular box from us so you don’t run out of key fruit and veg. www.5adaybox.co.uk.
Use our Pinterest boards or recipe blog posts for inspiration in advance of what to cook.
Fill the Fridge with goodies!
We automatically snack on whatever is in front of us so remove those sugary snacks. Load up the refrigerator with ready-to-go snacks. Keep a container of carrots and celery ready to eat in the fridge at all times – storing them in water keeps them crisp. Take an apple to work rather than biscuits or chocolate!
Hide the Yucky in the Yummy!
Make a really tasty soup or pasta sauce full of your five a day or a fruit/veg smoothie – blitz it up and no one knows what’s in there.
Involve the family in the cooking
Family dinners are the heart of the home. Make and eat dinner together as much as you can and make it fun. If children are involved in the cooking they are more likely to enjoy what they are eating too.
