Did You Eat Your Veggies Today?

March is National Nutrition Month. These tips can help you get the nutrition you need without sacrificing taste. Remember these tips:

Use fruits and vegetables in all their forms (canned, dried, fresh and frozen) to control both your waistline and your budget.
Load up favorite foods with veggies or beans and learn how to swap high-calorie ingredients for lower-calorie versions. Examples: garden vegetable pizzas, black bean and corn burritos, and banana splits created with frozen yogurt.
Puree fruits like peaches and pears to make sauces. Drizzle sauces everywhere — from pancakes to poultry.
Don’t skimp on the whole grains. They’re surprisingly easy to add to your diet (popcorn, whole wheat pasta, brown rice) and have some big benefits.
