Produce delivery service.

I subscribe to a produce delivery service. The produce is discounted, but you don't get to choose what you get. It's a surprise every time. I order a box meant to last two people one week, but I'm able to make it last me, as a single person, two weeks. As long as I use things up based on how long they stay fresh for, and as long as I don't forget about things.

When I first started the service I was diligently trying to use a paper bullet journal, and so I was noting down what produce I got and would tick items off as I used them up. Well, that habit petered out...

Well the other day, nearing the end of the two weeks before a fresh box arrived, I was feeling pretty pleased about how I managed to use everything up. And then I found brussel sprouts I forgot about 🤦‍♀️ I love brussel sprouts! And I forgot all about them!

So... I'm going to try to make note of my produce box items again. Here in my digital bullet journal. Probably just post pics of the contents so I can refer to them as I go along.

Here's this week's box:

Let's see... We've got:

Pineapple

Bell pepper

Eggplant

Melon

Tomato

Zucchini

Mini peppers

Lettuce

Spinach

Onion

Pear

Persimmon (!)

Mandarin orange

And... more brussel sprouts (😂)

Oh! And a cold-pressed juice! This was pretty good. Hope they include it again.

​Ever wonder what a balanced meal really looks like? The MyPlate guide from the USDA makes healthy eating visual and simple. Forget complicated counting – just build your plate with these easy-to-remember sections:

✅ A Quarter of Your Plate: Protein!

Lean protein sources help build and repair tissues.

​✅ The Other Quarter of Your Plate: Grains!

Choose whole grains whenever possible! Whole grains provide sustained energy and essential fiber.

​✅ Half Your Plate: Fruits & Veggies!

Fill half your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber to keep you feeling full and energized!

​✅ Don't Forget Dairy!

Include a serving of low-fat or fat-free dairy milk to get essential calcium and vitamin D. Or, choose fortified soy milk as a plant-based alternative!

Eating well doesn't have to be hard. Using MyPlate as your guide, you're setting yourself up for balanced meals that fuel your body!
