“Plan your meals to reduce waste.”

Now you’re in charge of making sure everyone in your house eats something healthy 🍎, tasty 🍔, and just the right amount 🥄. Food planning helps you do all that! It’s like drawing a map 🗺️ for the week, but instead of a treasure chest 🏴‍☠️, you’re finding the best foods for breakfast 🥞, lunch 🥪, and dinner 🍲. For your weekly menu, choose meals that everyone will enjoy 😋. You don’t have to do it all by yourself – ask your family what they’d like to eat 🗣️!

After you’ve decided what you want to cook 🍳, make a shopping list 📝. This helps you avoid buying extra stuff that might just sit in the fridge 🧊 until it gets sad and moldy (yuck! 😷).

A big part of food planning is making sure you don’t waste anything 🚯. Leftovers are your best friend 🤗. After dinner, if there’s extra food 🍕, don’t throw it away! You can turn it into a whole new meal 🍛. Like last night’s roasted veggies 🥕? They can become a yummy soup 🍲! Or that leftover rice 🍚? It could be the base for a stir-fry the next day 🍜.

Also, remember portion sizes 🍽️! It’s better to take a little and go back for seconds 🍽️ if you’re still hungry, than to take too much and waste it ❌. You can even help your parents with fun stuff like packing school lunches 🎒 or organizing snacks for the week 🍪. By planning meals 🗓️, you’re not only saving time ⏰ and money 💰, but you’re also taking care of your health ❤️ and the environment 🌍!

So, are you ready to be a food planner and waste less food 🍽️? Let’s get started! 🚀
