It’s nutrition month! Today on Good Food Friday I share simple nutrition tips and recipes to eat healthier and feel your best.
Tip 1: Find unique ways to eat more fruit
Wyman’s Just Fruit is a great way to increase fruit consumption which According to the CDC, 9 out of 10 people fall short on. Wyman’s utilizes a freezing technique that brings together pellets of Greek Yogurt or Banana Puree that gets mixed with their whole and diced fruit to make eating fruit more fun, delicious, and convenient. Just Fruit is available in 4 flavors all of which are 45 calories or less, non-GMO, and contribute approximaelty ¼ cup of fruit per serving. Just grab and eat!
Tip 2: Focus your meals around protein and fiber
This combination helps keep us full longer and can help support weight management. The Atkins Plus Protein & Fiber Shake is a protein-rich energy shake that delivers 20 essential vitamins and minerals in Creamy Vanilla and Creamy Milk Chocolate flavors. It’s packed with 30g of high quality protein and 7g of dietary fiber that can be enjoyed as a meal or a snack to help keep you satisfied throughout the day. You can find it nationwide in most major retails including Walmart, Target and Amazon. Try it in my green breakfast smoothie to start your day with 2 servings of fruits and 1 serving of veggies plus a boost of protein that will help power you through the morning. Add 1 cup of frozen mango, 1 banana, 1 tsp of chia seeds, 2 cups of kale and the Atkin Plus Protein & Fiber Vanilla Shake. Blend until combined.
