Quick tips to create a nutritious meal
Reach in the freezer
1/2 Fruit and Vegetables
Frozen fruits and veggies are loaded with nutrients. They’re often packaged when they’re ripe and delicious.
Look for fruit or veggie blends to boost variety.
Choose power proteins
1/4 Lean Protein
Proteins are your body’s building blocks. They’re in every cell of your body, not just your muscles.
Look for lean proteins you can enjoy any time of day, like eggs and beans.
Grab ready-to-go grains
1/4 Whole Grains
Many whole grains provide dietary fiber which can support a healthy heart and healthy digestion.
Look for grains you can enjoy in a jiffy like oats, corn tortillas and pre-cooked rice.
