Spring cleaning is a fantastic opportunity to take stock of your home and your lifestyle. Was one of your New Year's resolutions to cook more or eat better-for-you treats? It's time to transform those goals into habits! Challenge yourself to begin your deep clean in an often overlooked area of your home: the pantry. Starting here will set you up for success by making everyday tasks—like cooking or snacking—easier and more enjoyable.

Before you reach for potentially harsh cleaners or paper towels, consider refreshing your spring cleaning routine with these five environmentally conscious steps.

1. Get Energized 

Whether you anticipate or dread spring cleaning, one thing is universal: You can't clean on an empty stomach! Start your cleaning on the right note with a slightly sweetyet satiating snack, such as a dark cacao cookie made with natural ingredients. By satisfying your sweet tooth with a smart cookie full of wholesome ingredients, you'll be prepared to spring into some deep cleaning!

2. Ditch and Donate

As you evaluate the contents of your pantry, feel free to giggle at any surprises—like realizing you somehow ended up with seven cans of kidney beans. Donate any unwanted nonperishable goods to a local food bank, and any pre-loved household items to a thrift store.

Next,take a step back and admire those spacious shelves! With all the clutter cleared out, you have room to breathe and make space for things you truly enjoy, such as chocolate chip coconut cookies made with wholesome ingredients that will make your stomach and the environment happy! (Especially if you find a certified B Corp to support.)

3. Scrub Those Shelves

You wouldn't fill your shelves with foods made from ingredients you don't recognize, so why clean them with chemicals you don't trust? Try creating your own all-purpose cleaner by combining equal parts white vinegar and water, plus a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle, grab a cleaning cloth, and viola! It's time to make those shelves sparkle without potentially harsh products.

4. Reorganize and Prioritize

Now that those shelves are dust-free, it's time to cut down on food waste and single-use plastic by organizing your pantry! Consider hanging your reusable grocery bags near the pantry door to keep them easily accessible, and organizing your shelves to make writing your grocery list a breeze. Say goodbye to leaving the grocery store with plastic bags full of things you didn't really need.

Finally, arrange your shelves to highlight the foods you actually enjoy, like gluten free coconut cookies made with a handful of simple ingredients! A visually appealing and organized space will make your life easier, greener, and sweeter.

5. Reward Yourself 

Now that you've made your pantry not only a cleaner but also a greener, more delicious place, reward yourself with a better-for-you treat.

To spruce up those clean shelves, add something yummy to your grocery list, like a fun flavor of your favorite wholesomesnack. Vegan coconut cookies in a refreshing lemon ginger flavor or soft and chewy coconut cookies chocolate chip flavor are a must for any healthy household!
