30 Easy, Healthy New Year's Resolutions You'll Actually Be Able to Keep

Aim to eat at least three brightly-colored foods at every meal. Their vibrant hue means they're high in vitamins and antioxidants.

Make eating healthy feel more exciting by learning how to cook a new nutritious food, like tofu or tempeh.

Whether it's first thing in the morning, while waiting for your dinner to cook, or to warm up when you're feeling chilly, get on the floor and do 10 push-ups (on your knees is cool!). Just think about how strong you'll get!

Whether you make extra for dinner and pack leftovers like soup, a crockpot meal, or this quinoa and black bean salad, or you make five salads on Sunday night, bringing lunch from home is cheaper, healthier, and a great way to keep tabs on portion sizes.

Eating more veggies throughout the day is one of the best ways to lose weight, so make sure to include them for breakfast. An easy way is to throw them in your blender.

You can get a lot done in just a few minutes, so find pockets of time here and there to throw in some fitness. Try this two-minute tooth-brushing workout or one of these five-minute workouts.

You'll not only get your fill of veggies and fiber, but you'll feel lighter and more energetic afterward. Make this happen by prepping a week's worth of salads all at once.

Planning out meals and snacks is one way to avoid noshing on junk, so at least once a week, plan out and prep a meal or snack. You can make a week's worth of overnight oats on Sunday night or these mason jar veggies with hummus.

When you don't have tons of time to prepare dinner, you can avoid ordering high-calorie takeout by keeping healthy foods in the freezer you can reheat for quick meals like frozen grains or these maple cumin lentils.

If you're trying to lose weight or eat healthier, taking photos of everything you eat will give you a good overall picture of how you eat all day long. It'll keep you even more accountable to eating healthy if you Instagram your pics or send them to a supportive friend who shares your goals.

Whether you go for a run in your neighborhood or take a walk after lunch to run an errand, getting outside in the fresh air and sunshine can greatly boost your mood.

While five minutes might not seem like a lot, tacking on an extra five minutes of running, biking, or weight lifting burns an extra 30 to 50 calories!

Bloat, acne, fatigue, and congestion can all be symptoms of eating dairy, so try ditching it for even one meal a day, but if you can, commit to one day a week. You can still enjoy creamy dishes like this avocado pesto pasta — no one will know it's vegan!

Reach for a pair of heavier dumbbells the next time you strength train. Grabbing heavier weights can be the swift kick your muscles need to show off your strong and toned physique.

Cut down on carbs and increase your fiber intake by swapping regular pasta for spiralized zucchini, spaghetti squash, or grated carrots.

Brush your teeth after lunch to prevent snacking out of boredom. Your minty fresh breath will remind you not to mindlessly reach for the M&Ms on your co-worker's desk.

If you've been a fan of Meatless Mondays, try going vegan one day a week. It's easy if you have a dairy-free protein smoothie or oatmeal for breakfast, a big salad for lunch, and then this cauliflower rice and black beans for dinner. Snack on fresh fruits and veggies with hummus and you'll feel amazing after a day of eating a plant-based diet.

Skip the high-carb crackers and snack on protein and fiber to satiate hunger longer. These cocoa cinnamon sugar roasted chickpeas offer over six grams of protein and five grams of fiber per serving.

If you know you're addicted to white sugar, cutting back can decrease cravings. Pick one time during the day to skip out on the white stuff, so instead of noshing on a regular cookie after dinner, satisfy your sweet cravings with these date-sweetened cookies.

Eating more protein will satiate hunger longer, so you can sneak extra into foods that normally don't have much by adding protein powder. Add it to pancakes, banana bread, and homemade cornbread.

If it's been a while since you've worked out, commit to just one workout a week. Then reward your efforts every time by placing a dollar in a jar. Once it's filled, buy yourself something fitness-related to motivate more workouts.

Maximize your gym time by adding a few speed intervals to your cardio workout. Going faster burns more calories than working at a steady pace and it also revs up your metabolism.

CrossFit? Ashtanga? SoulCycle? Make a pledge to try a new class or type of workout to keep your body guessing and see results sooner.

Kidney, pinto, back, and cannellini beans offer easy plant-based protein and fiber, which we all could use more of. Add them to pureed soups, fruit smoothies, and even overnight oats to fill you up longer.

Skip the maple syrup, brown sugar, or honey and add mashed banana to your oatmeal to add natural sweetness plus a little extra potassium.

Make ice cream from frozen fruit every time ice cream cravings strike. You'll save on calories, cholesterol, and sugar.

Snuggle into bed early for seven days in a row, and get eight hours of sleep. Skip staring at a screen and read a book, knit, or do some yoga to wind down.

Instead of just sinking into the couch, get on the floor in front of the TV and do some relaxing stretches. They'll make your muscles feel more open and your mind my more calm.

Anytime you reach for a drink, make it zero-calorie water. Staying hydrated will make you feel more energetic, fill your belly, aid in digestion, prevent constipation, and makes your skin glow. Hate plain water? Add a few slices of fresh fruit for flavor.

Before bed, take a few minutes to reflect on your day, and write down a few things that made you happy or things you are grateful for. It's one way to take care of your mental health and help you go to bed with a smile.
