Pantry Hacking: Tips to Reduce Clutter for an Organized Pantry

A well-organized pantry is a game-changer when it comes to efficient meal planning, cooking, and maintaining a healthy diet. However, it's all too easy for our pantries to become cluttered and disorganized, making it difficult to find ingredients and creating unnecessary stress. 

That's why we're here to help you "pantry hack" your way to a clutter-free and organized space. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can transform your pantry into a functional and visually appealing area that will inspire you to cook nutritious meals. Let's dive in!

Group Similar Items Together

One of the simplest ways to organize your pantry is to group similar items together. This could mean grouping grains, nuts, seeds, Bare Blends powders, canned goods, and spices in their respective areas. The key is consistency, which will save you time and avoid pantry chaos.

Use Clear Storage Containers

When you can easily see what you have on hand, you're more likely to use it before it expires. This method not only reduces food waste but also promotes cleaner, healthier eating habits. Plus, it gives your pantry a neat, clean look.

Label Everything

Labeling can be a game-changer when organizing your pantry. When you know exactly where everything goes, it's easier to maintain order. Consider using chalkboard labels for an aesthetically pleasing and reusable option.

Store Healthy Foods at Eye Level

Make it easier to reach for nutritious options by storing them at eye level. Put those Bare Blends protein powders front and center, along with nuts and healthy snack options. This way, you're more likely to opt for healthier choices when hungry.

Use Vertical Space Wisely

Make use of vertical space with stacking shelves, tiered spice racks, or hanging baskets. This not only maximizes your pantry space but also makes it easier to see and access your items.

Practice FIFO (First In, First Out)

A key hack borrowed from the restaurant industry, FIFO ensures that older products get used before newer ones. When you restock your pantry items, place the new ones at the back and the older ones in front.

Regular Clean-Outs

Every few months, take some time to go through your pantry. Check expiry dates, dispose of old or unused items, and take note of what needs replenishing. Regular clean-outs keep your pantry fresh and organized.

Having an organized pantry is about more than just aesthetics—it can significantly influence your eating habits and daily nutrition. We believe that every aspect of your environment, including your pantry, should support your journey towards health and wellness.
