This spring is definitely not what we were expecting. The whole world is affected by the coronavirus pandemic and one of the things you need to think about right now is stocking your fridge and pantry with groceries that can last you longer than a few days. You’re probably aware that many things with a long shelf-life contain preservatives or are made in factories and therefore don’t have a great nutritional value, but there are still foods you can get that will give you all the nutrients you need without spoiling too fast.

Almonds

Almonds and other nuts are great for your overall health. They contain a lot of vitamin E and fiber and can last for up to a year in the fridge. Nut butter is good for 9 months when unopened and 3 months after opening.

Brown Rice

Unopened packages of brown rice can easily be stored for a year in the pantry and the period shortens to around six months once the package is open. Brown rice is a great base for a variety of dishes you can make.

I woke up early this morning and, like every morning, pulled out my calendar with my to-do list. Had to smile a little. Just yesterday evening in "The Universe Has Your Back" I read about letting go and not planning out everything. So I put my calendar away again. Today's theme is "Letting go and not planning."⁣ Have a nice Monday ⁣ _____________________________⁣ ⁣ Ich bin heute früh aufgewacht und habe wie jeden Morgen mein Kalender mit meiner To-Do Liste gezückt. Musste dann etwas schmunzeln. Gestern erst habe ich abends in "Das Universum steht hinter dir" vom Loslassen und Nichtplanen gelesen. Also Kalender wieder weggelegt. Der heutige Tag steht unter dem Motto "Lass ich auf mich zukommen".⁣ Habt einen schönen Montag ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #chiapudding#vegandeutschland#veganerezepte#foodporn#frühstücksideen#foodphotography#deutschlandistvegan#vegangermany#foodiesconnected#veganinspo#thrivemags #beautifulcuisines⁣⁣⁣#comfortbreakfast ⁣
