CBS WSPA: National Nutrition Month

March 28, 2019

Quaker, Grain Foods Foundation, Wonder Drink Prebiotic Kombucha, Naturally More Nut Butter, Cuties Citrus

It’s never too early or too late to form healthy eating habits so today I shared some of my tip tips in honor of National Nutrition Month.

Tip 1: Choose beverages with benefits

My first tip is to choose beverages with benefits like Quaker’s Oat Beverage, which has 4 grams of fiber per 8 ounce serving. It is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D and has been formulated to qualify for the FDA’s heart health claim. I especially love the vanilla flavor – one 8 oz. glass has only 30-50 calories.

Another beverage with benefits is kombucha. Wonder Drink is the first kombucha made with PREbiotics instead of probiotics, which are plant-based fibers that help nourish the good bacteria in our gut to promote a happy digestive system. They’re certified organic, non-alcoholic and have 9-10 grams of sugar per can.

Tip 2: Carbohydrates are the nutrient we need more of, not less of


Both whole grain and enriched grains provide key nutrients like fiber, iron, folate and B vitamins. So they are not something to remove from your diet, in fact, what we replace them with, may put our long-term health in jeopardy if it’s high in saturated fats or empty calories.

Tip 3: Build snacks with staying power

First you want to focus on fiber like fruit. Cuties have major snack-a-peel – they are easy to peel, easy to eat and easy to love. 2 cuties have just 90 calories but a slew of vitamins and minerals. Take these to work or kids soccer games for prep-free, stress-free snacking. You can find more healthy snacking tips at cutiescitrus.com and @cutiescitrusofficial on Instagram where they also host giveaways.

Second, you want to focus on protein. Portable nut butter packets are my go-to by Naturally More because they have added flaxseeds, which have omega-3 fats and probiotics, which may support digestion and immunity. Pair these with fruits, veggies or grains to build a snack with staying power- you can find these on amazon.
