- Deep clean your house and Kitchen space

Let's welcome Angels to our clean houses and make this Ramadan the most productive of all in Sha Allah.
Plan your meals in advance:
Meal prep in advance and make Freezer Friendly snacks:
Making an Onion-Green Chilli-Coriander mix (sliced and chopped batches) :
Prepare ginger garlic paste:
Make a batch of Fried Onions:
Chop veggies ahead of time:
Deep clean your house and Kitchen space:
- For starters, you can start with the fridge, this will help you decide what to add into your grocery shopping list. And you may throw away expired and give away unused food items that are in good condition.
- Wipe down the Kitchen cabinets and cupboards (check expiry dates and discard if not in use).
- Clean the cooking range, oven, dishwasher (if any) and fridge. I like to use Smac for tough grease and stains and for cleaning the oven and fridge (I wiped down using lemon - vinegar water solution). Don't forget the stove hob and the kitchen hood, where all grease are accumulated.
- Lastly, make sure to replace old brushes/ sponges/ cloths with new ones and if they aren’t that soiled, soak them in a solution of bubbling hot water with vinegar for around 30 minutes and you will feel so satisfied to see all that dirt that came from the kitchen cloth. Squeeze and rinse well with warm water. Allow to dry in sunlight.
Make a small corner for all your Ramadan essentials:
Tips and Tricks to stay active and hydrated:
- Drink water in half an hour intervals, make sure you do this maybe by downloading such apps or be personal reminders for each other haha :)
- Break your fast with soups, fruits, salad, juice etc instead of gobbling down all the snacks and feeling tired and bloated for prayers. once you are done with your Magrib prayers, have your snacks and a limited amount of tea/ coffee.
- Reduce intake of caffeine however possible, as caffeine drains out water from our bodies and keep us tired and dehydrated. I know it's difficult for some of us to completely quit tea/ coffee etc, but you can always have them limited.
- Try to avoid processed food. They always make sure to keep you constipated, that's the last thing you want during Ramadan, so keep yourself hydrated and have fiber rich food such as lentils, oats, fruits, veggies etc.
- Try to make use of healthier options such as airfryer, oven, steamed food etc. And have oil fried snacks with intervals of at least 1-2 days.
Suhoor ideas:
May we be able to make the most out of this Ramadan with these little tips and tricks, bi ithnillah.
May Allah SWT forgive us and accept our Ibadaah. Aameen ya rabb🤲🏼
