Summer is here, and no one wants to spend hours in a hot kitchen. I’m on CBS Atlanta with smart staples that make healthy eating simple, stress-free, and satisfying.
June is National Dairy Month—a perfect time to support our hardworking dairy farmers while enjoying nutrient-rich foods that fuel your day. Dairy is one of the most affordable and accessible sources of complete, high-quality protein, with 8 grams in just one 8-ounce glass of milk. Beyond milk and yogurt smoothies, there are plenty of convenient grab-and-go options like yogurt drinks and cheese sticks that make it easy to add dairy to your family’s day. Today’s dairy farms are also leading the way in sustainability with innovations in greenhouse gas reduction, water conservation, and energy efficiency.

Next, if you’re looking to elevate your meals with premium protein—without turning on the stove—Tonnino has you covered. Their award-winning tuna comes infused with smoked olive oil and rosemary, and is available in both cans and jars, along with yellowfin, albacore, and their newest release—the first-ever jarred wild-caught salmon. Each product is sustainably sourced and meets the highest environmental standards. You can find Tonnino at Walmart, Publix, Whole Foods, and The Fresh Market.
Finally, for those using GLP-1 weight loss medications, Vital Pursuit is the first brand designed to support long-term lifestyle changes. Developed with chefs and dietitians, each meal is thoughtfully portioned with at least 20 grams of protein and key nutrients. Their new Max Pro Pizzas—available in Chicken Mozzarella and Cheese Lovers—pack 33 grams of protein, 17 grams of fiber, and less than 10 grams of net carbs, making them more protein-rich than 99% of frozen pizzas.
