OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — The kids are back to school and fall is right around the corner. That means it’s time to incorporate a new and healthy meal plan to help you kickstart a new season.

3 News Now anchor Vanessa Villafuerte spoke to a dietitian that shares recipes that’ll make your busy life much more seamless.

“Having that structure back to your day with your three meals a day,” Amanda Jochum, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist said. “Plan ahead.”

Fall is almost here, so it’s time to jumpstart a new routine. But that means you need energy to get you through the day, and it begins with your diet.

“A good principle [is] about 85 percent of your diet should be healthy,” Jochum said. “Nutritious, nutrient-dense foods, and then having those occasional treats.”

A balanced diet is key. But what exactly does a healthy diet consist of?

Just like you plan out your day, it starts with a plan.

3 News Now anchor Vanessa Villafuerte got a look at some of the quick, easy and healthy recipes you can incorporate into your daily routine.
