Last week, we discussed setting up your cooking space, the counters, drawers, and environment. Those strategies can help set the stage to make it easier, even the more convenient option, to cook a healthy meal. If you missed it, catch up on Part 1!

This week, we’re taking a look inside your fridge, freezer, and pantry — the three spaces that work together as a system to support healthy eating. Think of them as your Mediterranean toolkit: stocked with a variety of staples that you can combine to make countless meals, so you’re never starting from scratch on a busy weeknight. The pantry contains your flavor-building foundations, while the refrigerator and freezer keep staples fresh, frozen, and ready to use.

And the same concept still applies: a few small changes to your setup will take you further than willpower ever could. When the healthy option is already stocked, visible, and ready to grab, you don’t need to convince yourself to make a healthier choice; it’s just the easiest one.
