Redesigning leftovers in a way that makes them feel new again is something everyone should consider. One key to mastering a healthy lifestyle with food is to use your imagination on how to remake the same food. A good way to stay on track is making extra of the meals you are preparing, like dinner, and reusing it for lunch the next day. Some foods are even more flavorful the following day. So if you’re sick of meal prepping, cleaning, and repeating, you may consider learning how to use leftovers for your meals. Need some inspiration? Scroll on for how you can turn your food into leftovers.
Power Bowls
This is likely the easiest way to make leftovers feel like a brand-new meal. Just add any dish to a bowl of grains like quinoa or rice, throw in some greens like spring mix, and top it off with hummus, salsa, or dressing of your choice.
Salad
This is a pretty obvious one. Leftovers can make a pretty jazzy salad. Whether it was a sheet-pan dinner or tacos, any leftover can amp up a lunch or next-day dinner salad.
Stuffed Potato
Leftovers taste great in a sweet potato or baked potato. This can be any meal, but especially stir frys, chili, or stews. Aside from cooking the potato, it’s hardly any work at all.
Quesadillas
It doesn’t just have to be just your basic cheese and chicken quesadilla. You can throw in some veggies, grains, and any kind of meat you wish to a quesadilla. Leftover steak? Chop it up. Leftover beans? Add them in. Throw in some special cheese and really swoon over your leftovers.
Egg Scramble
We love to roast summertime veggies. But, when are we going to eat them again? Answer: eggs. Scramble them in with your eggs and throw in some added greens. This even works if you have vegetables that are on their last limb.
Wraps
Snag some extra large wraps and put them to use. Heat slightly for elasticity and wrap up any leftovers with some lettuce – or even salad with some protein like chicken or tuna.
Just add sauce
There are plenty of amazing sauces out there. Plate the same meal as before and add some sauce for a brand new flavor.
We usually overthink meals, but simplifying and never wasting is always a good idea.
