When you bring home your fruits and veggies, store them washed in your refrigerator in separate bags. This keeps ethylene (a gas released from ripening fruits and veggies) from spreading throughout your fridge which can cause premature spoiling of your food.
I also always line the bottom, middle and top of my plastic containers of greens with paper towels. The condensation that forms within the container is absorbed by the paper towel, and your greens last longer. I also use this trick to keep partially cooked zucchini from breaking down too fast.
Having your vegetables last longer will help you stay on track with your clean eating plan, which will help you realize your fitness/eating goals faster.
