How to Eat Healthy When You Have No Time
If you’re reading this thinking, There is no way she’s about to give me real dinner ideas in ten minutes, friend—buckle up.
Because one of my biggest life goals is helping real women eat well without stress, shame, or a kitchen full of unused Pinterest ingredients.
If you’ve ever stood in front of the fridge at 5:00 p.m., exhausted and overwhelmed, wondering What on earth are we going to eat tonight?—you are not alone.
We’ve all been there.
The mental load of meal planning, the pressure to do it “right,” and the guilt that creeps in when frozen pizza wins again can make food feel way harder than it needs to be.
But here’s the truth: healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated to be nourishing. In fact, the simpler it is, the more sustainable it becomes.
God Cares About Feeding You—Not Perfectly, But Daily
Scripture reminds us that God’s heart is provision, not performance. Jesus teaches us to pray, “Give us today our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).
Not tomorrow’s meal plan.
Not a gourmet spread.
Just what we need—today.
Throughout the Bible, we see God meet His people with simple provision: bread and meat for Elijah, vegetables and water for Daniel, daily sustenance that fueled obedience and trust.
Food was never meant to be a source of anxiety or identity—it’s a gift meant to sustain us so we can live out our callings.
When we overcomplicate food, we often miss the peace God intends.
Healthy meals aren’t about impressing anyone; they’re about caring for the bodies He’s given us.
The 10-Minute Meal Formula That Actually Works
When life is full, I keep meals simple and balanced with one repeatable formula:
Starch + Protein + Non-starchy Vegetable
That’s it.
Think:
Rice + rotisserie chicken + frozen veggies
Salmon + quinoa + roasted asparagus
Salad kit + protein
Crockpot chicken used twice
Simple meals done consistently will always beat perfect meals done rarely.
And here’s the secret: simple meals can still be sacred. Light a candle. Say a prayer. Sit down together.
Nourishment isn’t just physical—it’s relational and spiritual too.
Imagine This…
Imagine dinnertime without panic.
Imagine meals that fuel your body and free your mind.
Imagine thanking God for what’s in front of you—without guilt or stress.
That’s the freedom simplicity brings.
