Storing Herbs

When it comes to meeting goals, sometimes being a little boring wtih your meals can help with consistency. But sometimes that means you lack variety and things get dull. Enter FRESH HERBS! One of our favorite ways to easily incorporate flavor and variety into your meals is by using fresh herbs. Adding even just a small handful of fresh herbs helps boost flavor and color on your plate, and change things up a bit without having to create a new meal. Next time you're at the store or market, check out the herbs and consider bringing a bunch or two home - parsley, basil, cilantro, green onions, dill, thyme, or chives - the options are endless!

But who wants to spend money on fresh herbs that get slimy in a matter of days?! Here's where our favorite tip comes in handy. The easiest way we have found to store herbs is by storing them in the fridge upright in a glass of water. Not only does this help to keep them fresh and extend their life, but it also keeps them front and center in your fridge. No more getting lost in the bottom of your vegetable drawer until you find the mess (we all do it).
