Our simple, straightforward tips and tricks will help you get back on track without feeling overwhelming. Get simple, healthy recipes along with tips to move more and take care of yourself. Join our 30-Day Back to Healthy Challenge this month. 30-Day Back to Healthy Challenge Calendar graphic Checklist Day 1: Make a plan: At the beginning of each week, make a plan to help you get back on track. Write out the meals (or even just the dinners) you plan to have this week. This will help you streamline your grocery list to save money and avoid food waste. You can also make a plan for exercise to help up your movement. Day 2: Add a glass of water: Staying hydrated is super important, especially when you are trying to get back on track. There are tons of health benefits associated with drinking enough water, from clearer skin to a better mood. Some people find it helpful to drink a glass of water before a meal to feel full faster and help with portion control. Day 3: Try this recipe: Swap traditional noodles and save on carbs with our Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto & Shrimp recipe. This dish is loaded with healthy fat and satisfying protein to keep you full and fueled, without all of the refined carbs. Day 4: Back off on booze: Take one day (or more, if you like) off from drinking. Though it can be tempting to have a nightly glass of wine or a fun summery cocktail, your body will thank you for the occasional break. Alcohol can absolutely be part of a healthy eating pattern, but moderation is key. Day 5: Take a walk: Make your morning coffee to-go and start your day with a walk, or go for a stroll as a family after dinner. Adding bouts of movement, like walking, biking or gardening throughout your day can help you get closer to the daily recommended amount of activity, feel more energized and boost your metabolism. Day 6: Add vegetables: Vegetables are the cornerstone of a healthy eating pattern, and adding them to what you already eat can help you boost your daily intake. Add spinach to smoothies, onions and peppers to tomato sauce, or make a side salad to pair with your meal for a delicious veggie boost. Day 7: Break up goals: It is ok to have big goals, but it can be helpful to break them up into things that are shorter term and more tangible. Try making daily or weekly goals that are specific, measurable, time bound and realistic for you. These little changes will help you stick with it and get you big results over time. Day 8: Make a plan: At the beginning of each week, make a plan to help you get back on track. Write out the meals (or even just the dinners) you plan to have this week. This will help you streamline your grocery list to save money and avoid food waste. You can also make a plan for exercise to help up your movement. Day 9: Try this recipe: Plant-based mains have never been so craveable as our Mushroom Shawarma with Yogurt Tahini Sauce. Mushrooms give the dish a meaty flavor, while tahini and yogurt pack on the protein and healthy fat. This is a vegetarian lunch or dinner that everyone will love. Day 10: Get enough sleep: This one is easier said than done, but there are some serious health benefits to catching enough zzz’s. To help you practice good sleep hygiene, set a bedtime routine and stick with it. Set boundaries with technology and food before bed to help you fall asleep better and feel refreshed in the morning. Day 11: Plan healthy snacks: Get ahead of hunger and save on money and time by planning out healthy snacks in advance. Having snacks like mixed nuts, veggies and hummus or fruit and cheese slices ready in advance will also make the healthy choice the easy choice, especially on busy days. Day 12: Go meatless today: Following a more plant-based diet is a great way to eat healthier and save money. Bonus: it also helps you have a more earth-friendly eating pattern. Skip on meat and animal products today and reap the benefits. Day 13: Treat yourself: Allow yourself some wiggle room in your plan to treat yourself occasionally. Whether it is a better-for-you twist on a classic treat or simply something you are craving, giving yourself flexibility is key to long term success. Day 14: Try this recipe: Have a fresh and savory meal to start your day with this Baby Kale Breakfast Salad with Quinoa & Strawberries. Not only is this dish bursting with flavor, but also it helps you get a serving of whole grains, vegetables and fruits first thing in the morning. Day 15: Make a plan: At the beginning of each week, make a plan to help you get back on track. Write out the meals (or even just the dinners) you plan to have this week. This will help you streamline your grocery list to save money and avoid food waste. You can also make a plan for exercise to help up your movement.

Day 19: Try this recipe: With this adapted version of vegetarian Eggplant Curry, you won’t even miss the meat. This Indian cuisine-inspired curry brings together aromatics like garlic and ginger with creamy coconut milk and hearty eggplant for a filling, flavorful dinner the whole family will love. Day 20: Go meatless today: Following a more plant-based diet is a great way to eat healthier and save money. Bonus: it also helps you have a more earth-friendly eating pattern. Skip on meat and animal products today and reap the benefits. Day 21: Share a meal with people you love: There are so many great reasons to carve out time for meals as a family, or with friends. There are even health benefits for children and adults alike who spend time together around the table, including maintaining healthier weights, better grades and lower likelihood of an eating disorder.

Day 24: Try this recipe: Say goodbye to standard pasta noodles and hello to refreshing zoodles with this Zucchini Noodle Primavera. This recipe cuts down on carbs while bringing in some of our favorite summer flavors. Day 25: Get enough sleep: Get enough sleep: This one is easier said than done, but there are some serious health benefits to catching enough zzz’s. To help you practice good sleep hygiene, set a bedtime routine and stick with it. Set boundaries with technology and food before bed to help you fall asleep better and feel refreshed in the morning. Day 26: Opt for whole grains: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest making sure that at least half of the grains you eat each day are whole grains. Enjoy some oatmeal for breakfast, or a quinoa salad for lunch. Maybe swap out white rice for brown rice at dinner. Whole grains are packed with fiber and nutrients to help keep you more full for longer, and definitely deserve a space on your plate.

Day 8: Make a plan: At the beginning of each week, make a plan to help you get back on track. Write out the meals (or even just the dinners) you plan to have this week. This will help you streamline your grocery list to save money and avoid food waste. You can also make a plan for exercise to help up your movement.
Day 9: Try this recipe: Plant-based mains have never been so craveable as our Mushroom Shawarma with Yogurt Tahini Sauce. Mushrooms give the dish a meaty flavor, while tahini and yogurt pack on the protein and healthy fat. This is a vegetarian lunch or dinner that everyone will love.
Day 10: Get enough sleep: This one is easier said than done, but there are some serious health benefits to catching enough zzz’s. To help you practice good sleep hygiene, set a bedtime routine and stick with it. Set boundaries with technology and food before bed to help you fall asleep better and feel refreshed in the morning.
Day 11: Plan healthy snacks: Get ahead of hunger and save on money and time by planning out healthy snacks in advance. Having snacks like mixed nuts, veggies and hummus or fruit and cheese slices ready in advance will also make the healthy choice the easy choice, especially on busy days.
Day 12: Go meatless today: Following a more plant-based diet is a great way to eat healthier and save money. Bonus: it also helps you have a more earth-friendly eating pattern. Skip on meat and animal products today and reap the benefits.
Day 13: Treat yourself: Allow yourself some wiggle room in your plan to treat yourself occasionally. Whether it is a better-for-you twist on a classic treat or simply something you are craving, giving yourself flexibility is key to long term success.
Day 14: Try this recipe: Have a fresh and savory meal to start your day with this Baby Kale Breakfast Salad with Quinoa & Strawberries. Not only is this dish bursting with flavor, but also it helps you get a serving of whole grains, vegetables and fruits first thing in the morning.
Day 15: Make a plan: At the beginning of each week, make a plan to help you get back on track. Write out the meals (or even just the dinners) you plan to have this week. This will help you streamline your grocery list to save money and avoid food waste. You can also make a plan for exercise to help up your movement.
Day 16: Add vegetables: Vegetables are the cornerstone of a healthy eating pattern, and adding them to what you already eat can help you boost your daily intake. Add spinach to smoothies or onions and peppers to tomato sauce, or make a side salad to pair with your meal for a delicious veggie boost.
Day 17: Add a glass of water: Staying hydrated is super important, especially when you are trying to get back on track. There are tons of health benefits associated with drinking enough water, from clearer skin to a better mood. Some people find it helpful to drink a glass of water before a meal to feel full faster and help with portion control.
Day 18: Take a walk: Make your morning coffee to-go and start your day with a walk, or go for a stroll as a family after dinner. Adding bouts of movement, like walking, biking or gardening, throughout your day can help you get closer to the daily recommended amount of activity, feel more energized and boost your daily calorie burn.
Day 19: Try this recipe: With this adapted version of vegetarian Eggplant Curry, you won’t even miss the meat. This Indian cuisine-inspired curry brings together aromatics like garlic and ginger with creamy coconut milk and hearty eggplant for a filling, flavorful dinner the whole family will love.
Day 20: Go meatless today: Following a more plant-based diet is a great way to eat healthier and save money. Bonus: it also helps you have a more earth-friendly eating pattern. Skip on meat and animal products today and reap the benefits.
Day 21: Share a meal with people you love: There are so many great reasons to carve out time for meals as a family, or with friends. There are even health benefits for children and adults alike who spend time together around the table, including maintaining healthier weights, better grades and lower likelihood of an eating disorder.
Day 22: Make a plan: At the beginning of each week, make a plan to help you get back on track. Write out the meals (or even just the dinners) you plan to have this week. This will help you streamline your grocery list to save money and avoid food waste. You can also make a plan for exercise to help up your movement.
Day 23: Back off on booze: Take one day (or more, if you like) off from drinking. Though it can be tempting to have a nightly glass of wine or a fun summery cocktail, your body will thank you for the occasional break. Alcohol can absolutely be part of a healthy eating pattern, but moderation is key.
Day 24: Try this recipe: Say goodbye to standard pasta noodles and hello to refreshing zoodles with this Zucchini Noodle Primavera. This recipe cuts down on carbs while bringing in some of our favorite summer flavors.
Day 25: Get enough sleep: Get enough sleep: This one is easier said than done, but there are some serious health benefits to catching enough zzz’s. To help you practice good sleep hygiene, set a bedtime routine and stick with it. Set boundaries with technology and food before bed to help you fall asleep better and feel refreshed in the morning.
Day 26: Opt for whole grains: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest making sure that at least half of the grains you eat each day are whole grains. Enjoy some oatmeal for breakfast, or a quinoa salad for lunch. Maybe swap out white rice for brown rice at dinner. Whole grains are packed with fiber and nutrients to help keep you more full for longer, and definitely deserve a space on your plate.
Day 27: Treat yourself: Allow yourself some wiggle room in your plan to treat yourself occasionally. Whether it is a better-for-you twist on a classic treat or simply something you are craving, giving yourself flexibility is key to long term success.
Day 28: Plan healthy snacks: Get ahead of hunger and save on money and time by planning out healthy snacks in advance. Having snacks like mixed nuts, veggies and hummus or fruit and cheese slices ready in advance will also make the healthy choice the easy choice, especially on busy days.
Day 29: Try this recipe: Salads don’t get much more comforting than our Spinach Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, White Beans & Basil. Packed with vegetables, fresh herbs and filling beans, this will become a weeknight go-to.
Day 30: Add vegetables: Vegetables are the cornerstone of a healthy eating pattern, and adding them to what you already eat can help you boost your daily intake. Add spinach to smoothies or onions and peppers to tomato sauce, or make a side salad to pair with your meal for a delicious veggie boost.
