ABC, Lowcountry Live: National Nutrition Month

March 30, 2018

Today on Good Food Friday, we celebrated the end of National Nutrition Month with some easy and nutritious meals and snacks.

Rethink Breakfast

Smoothies are a nutritious way to start your day. I shared my workout partner smoothie made with no-sugar added 100% Pomegranate Juice from POM Wonderful known for its antioxidants. Pomegranate juice is a good source of potassium, an important electrolyte for healthy muscles.

Mid-Morning Snack

Wonderful Pistachios are one of the lowest calorie and fat nuts –and among the highest in protein and fiber. I like the in-shell pistachios because they can help slow down the eating process and give your
brain time to register that you’re full.

Quick and Nutritious Lunch Option


I shared the Chopped Salad Kits by Taylor Farms. They were the first brand to bring these to the market in 2011. I love them because they have all the veggies, toppings and dressings in the bag for you – I simply add a protein to complete the meal. They have over ten flavors with new ones releasing next month. You can find them at Harris Teeter and Publix.

#HalfCupHabit

Pulses are a good sources of fiber and plant-protein – they include dried peas, lentils, chickpeas and beans. The Half-Cup Habit, refers to eating one half cup serving of pulses, three times a week, which research shows can help with weight management, heart heath, and gut health. The great thing about pulses is that they are so versatile – you can add them to salads, soups, even dessert. Pulses.org has some great recipes and cooking tips.

Better-for-you potato chip swap

I shared organic seaweed snacks by GimMe. They are savory and crispy like a potato chip… but naturally low in calories and HIGH in vitamins and minerals. Their roasted seaweed snacks come in sea salt, teriyaki and olive oil flavored sheets – great for kid’s lunchboxes. Their Seaweed Thins are only 100 calories per bag with 6 grams of protein and fiber. You can find the Thins at Publix and the roasted seaweed snacks at Harris Teeter and Whole Foods.
