Eating healty doesn't have to mean more work. With just a little effort, you can boost your intake of calcium, protein, fiber and disease-fighting phytochemicals into the meals you already eat!
Try these healthy nutrient-packed tips:
- Before heating spaghetti sauce, stir in shredded reduced fat mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and chopped zucchini.
- Top fish with salsa.
- Melt reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese over a reduced fat turkey hot dog.
- Mix black beans into hamburger meat.
- When making lasagna, replace the meat with slices of portobello mushroom.
- Bulk up a salad by tossing in nuts and fruit, such as strawberries or orange segments.
- Top turkey burgers with roasted red bell peppers.
- Serve cooked lean meat over a bed of mixed greens dressed with olive oil and vinegar.
- Crush whole-grain, high-fiber cereal to use as crumbs for breading cutlets.
- Give soup a kick by stirring in bok choy, Swiss chard or spinach leaves.
