So Fresh and So Green: Romaine lettuce, spinach, and other greens are definite
must-haves, not to mention produce-aisle favorites like portabella mushrooms & broccoli slaw. The slaw is a great meal starter since
it's filling and low in calories. Use it as a pasta swap or as a stir-fry base - it takes just a couple of minutes to saute. Just last night I cooked extra lean ground beef (drained & rinsed it to eliminate any excess fat), added a bag of broccoli slaw & some hoisin sauce, then served it on whole grain tortillas. Yum!
And I LOVE sugar snap peas, jicama and baby carrots as quickie
snacks. No, jicama and carrots are not green, but they fit the bill too!
The Pros of Protein: Tuna packed in water and any whole muscle cuts of deli meat are great everyday proteins for sandwiches
and more. Don't forget about skinless chicken breast as a great basic protein, & if you know you
won't or don't have the time to cook it up yourself, stock up on precooked kinds. And meal-ready isn't just for the birds...look for grilled beef strips as well for your protein-packed salad.
A Fuji Apple a
Day: It's a good idea to keep fresh fruit handy to curb your hunger
between meals. I love Fuji apples because they have the perfect combination of
sweetness and tartness. I also love grapefruit, clementines (Cuties!), pears,
grapes and pretty much any berry you can find.
