Maltose Rich Foods

Tip 1 : Add a vegetarian protein food to make a salad into a main dish--try garbanzo beans, kidney beans, soybeans or sunflower seeds.

Tip 2 : Try low-fat ricotta instead of cottage cheese--it has more calcium and works great in many recipes that call for cottage cheese.

Tip 3 : Visit My Reports to check out your Protein Foods history chart and see how you've been doing with your intake over time.

Tip 4 : Looking for a fast, fruity snack? Make a smoothie by blending plain yogurt with your favorite fruit. Freeze fruit first or add ice.

Tip 5 : Ready-to-eat, whole-grain cereal is a tasty whole grain snack. Check the Nutrition Facts label to find one that is lower in sugar.

Tip 6 : Keep fruits separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood while shopping, storing, and preparing.

Tip 7 : Visit your favorite breakfast diner and order a veggie omelet to start your day with vegetables.

Tip 8 : Not sure if you will use the whole bag of spinach? Add baby spinach leaves to a stir-fry, pasta sauce, salads, wraps or omelets.

Tip 9 : Make beans, peas, and soy products part of your meals often. Try black bean burgers, hummus, or stir-fried tofu.

Tip 10 : Don’t forget to eat your greens! Collards, Swiss chard, mustard greens, kale, and broccoli rabe are tasty side dishes.
