Cooking for 1 or 2

Tips & Tricks
Cooking for two people day after day, meal after meal can be time consuming, exhausting, and down right frustrating. Therefore, many people opt for premade entrees and snacks to satisfy their hunger cues. However, many of these frozen, prepackaged items are expensive and laden with sugar, salt, and dangerous chemicals. Homemade cooking is the healthier, most affordable option- it only requires a little upfront patience and strategic planning. In the end, it will save you time, energy, and money!
Grains
1.Cook a batch of whole grains such as brown rice or barley and freeze in individual portions in a zip-top bag.
2.Have a six-pack of whole-grain English muffins or a whole loaf of bread? Tuck those extras into the freezer for another day.
3. Visit the bulk bins grocery stores. You can buy exactly what you need with no waste.
Fruits & Vegetables
1. Don’t be afraid to buy frozen. Just watch out for hidden sugars or sauces
2. Only buy what you can reasonably eat before the produce perishes.
3. Be strategic. Enjoy your most perishable fresh produce like berries and spinach early in the week.
Proteins
1. Eggs can make a meal happen in a flash, anytime! They are an excellent source of protein and contain a bounty of nutrients such as vitamin D.
2. Buy a whole package of meat or poultry and wrap individual portions in freezer-safe paper

  I have been at Strongside for close to two months. I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging.  I highly recommend Nutriformance for everyone who is looking for a place to belong.

  This is the best lifters gym I've ever been to. There is an almost overwhelming amount of equipment on the upper level.

  I like the variety of exercises and intensities, but my favorite part is the technology that allows me to hold myself accountable for my effort and performance.

  Great local gym. Lots of weights and machines, friendly staff, and not too crowded.

  I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

  I couldn’t recommend Alexis (massage therapist) enough. She is kind, professional and knowledgeable every time I see her. She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

  The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training.  The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks.  If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
