If you’re looking for a list of non-perishable foods that are healthy plus some healthy recipes with those ingredients that aren’t creamy pasta with toilet paper – then you need to read further.
We personally am not a fan of non-perishable foods and making meals only with them. We like to keep things fresh and to always have a salad on the side. However, we realize the upcoming few weeks or even months might not support that lifestyle.
We're not gonna lie to you, this entire situation in the world is taking over our life and is freaking us out. All we know is we wake up in the morning and we look at the news. Which is something we never do.
We know everyone wants to stay calm and wash their hands and not freak out when they’re in the grocery store and someone’s breathing close to them…Not coughing, breathing, – we're not one of those people. First of all, we know we don’t wash our hands, ever. Second, we freak out…easily. We call our mom and dad 100 times a day telling them to not go anywhere and we're seriously considering wearing a mask everywhere from now on. Also gloves.
76 Non-Perishable Foods
We've also stocked up on some non-perishable foods just in case – mainly canned chickpeas, tomato paste, oats, nuts and almond butter. But we made a bigger list, so if you need a list, here it is. If you don’t need the list – just ignore it.
What Else To Buy?
Other non-perishable foods you could and probably should also buy are:
- onions
- garlic
- potatoes
- sweet potatoes
- apples
- oranges
- lemons
- bananas (would also freeze them!)
- pears
- cabbage (keeps fresh surprisingly long in the fridge!)
- butternut squash/pumpkin
- frozen broccoli
- frozen peas
- frozen carrots
- frozen berries
- other frozen fruit
- frozen spinach or kale
- frozen fish or poultry
- maybe even store-bought juice…(not a big supporter of that, but it’s an extreme situation and we need that vitamin C in case this lasts too long!)
- wine too!
When you run out of fresh fruit, fish and vegetables – you can always reach for the foods in that freezer! If you have more suggestions, please comment below!
