Tip 1 : Use the food label to find whole grains such as whole rye, whole wheat, whole-grain corn and wild rice.
Tip 2 : Butternut squash tastes great oven roasted and pureed. Use it to make it a soup or add it to risotto! Look for recipes online.
Tip 3 : On long car trips, pack fruit to snack on! Bananas, apples, plums, grapes, and nectarines all travel well!
Tip 4 : Visit My Reports to check out your dairy history chart and see how you've been doing with your dairy intake over time.
Tip 5 : Vary your veggies. Try new vegetables and find recipes online. Why not try bok choy, artichokes, beets, or kale?
Tip 6 : When getting fast food, order salad as your main dish or substitute a side salad for fries--ask for dressing on the side.
Tip 7 : Serve seafood twice a week-it's simple! Make patties with canned salmon, crab, or tuna, or use them on a seafood sandwich.
Tip 8 : Whole grains are great in mixed dishes. Try using brown rice in a casserole, or quinoa in a salad.
Tip 9 : Try this pasta idea. Grate zucchini lengthwise and cook with onions, garlic, and a little broth until tender. Add to spaghetti pasta and serve.
Tip 10 : Make it easier to include plenty of vegetables in your day by always having them on hand--fresh, frozen, and canned (choose no-salt-added).
