SUPREME RECIPE OF THE WEEK: HEART HEALTHY FOODS AT THE STORE!

GROCERY SHOPPING: FAT FOODS, FIT FOODS:
Popcorn Is a Perfect Healthy Snack
Low-fat popcorn is
crunchy, delicious, and a source of whole grain fiber. Plus, you can enjoy a
large, filling portion! Look for popcorn made with "94% Fat Free
Butter" or air-popped popcorn.
Potato chips are high
in fat and it's hard to eat just a few -- all that you get in a 1-ounce
serving. If you love chips, go for the baked ones and watch your portion size.
One Bowl for Your Fiber Needs
For a nourishing start
to your day, choose a whole-grain bran cereal packed with fiber, such as bran
flakes. Add fruit and low-fat milk for the most nutritious beginning.
Granola may be natural
but it's often high in fat. Use granola sparingly or as a topper on low-fat
yogurt.
Shave the Fat, Not the Flavor
Choose sorbets,
sherbets, light ice creams, or frozen yogurts for a fraction of the fat and
calories.
Thanks to a new
special churning technology, these frozen treats taste like rich and creamy
premium ice cream. A ½ cup dessert can fit into everyone's diet.
Skip High-Fat Pizza Toppings
Enjoy thin-crust
frozen pizza Margarita style, or with grilled chicken or veggies. By passing on
the sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese, you'll slash the fat, sodium, and
calories in this favorite food.
Limit your portion to
two slices (of a 12-inch pizza) and add a filling side salad to complete the
meal.
Go for Real Juice
100% fruit juices are
naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting antioxidants. In
fact, they're the next best thing to eating whole fruit. "Fruit juice drinks" however, are usually packed with sugar and empty calories.
Snack on Healthy Hummus
Hummus is a gratifying
combination of nutrition when paired with fresh veggies like baby carrots or
baked pita chips.
Made from chick peas,
hummus is a good source of iron, vitamin C, protein, and fiber.
So enjoy the pleasing taste
of hummus and skip the cheese dip that can lead to diet sabotage.
Frozen Meals Can Be Healthy, Too!
Look for frozen meals
that feature lean protein, plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and a low-fat or
simple sauce.
Avoid fried frozen
food, or creamy casseroles. Frozen meals that are baked, grilled, steamed, or
sautéed are healthier and lower in calories.
Spaghetti – A Healthy Favorite
Try the new whole-wheat pasta blends. Even the kids will like it if
you top the spaghetti with your favorite tomato sauce. Voila! You’ve turned a
childhood favorite into a high-fiber and nutrient-rich dish.
Macaroni and cheese may be an old-standby, but it’s low in fiber
and loaded with fat and calories.
Fat-Free Frozen Shrimp & Prawns
Shrimp are a tastier
and healthier alternative to breaded fish sticks.
You can buy them
already cooked and shelled. Eat them cold with cocktail sauce, grill them, or
sauté with veggies in a stir-fry.
