Making healthy meals may seem daunting, but there are plenty of nutritious, easy-to-use prepare options.
Breezy Breakfasts: It's a snap to get healthy whole grains, fruit and protein in the morning.
-Heat instant oatmeal with milk and cinnamon. Top with canned peaches.
-In a blender, mix 1 cup of yogurt or milk, 1/3 cup of frozen strawberries and 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup for a calcium-rich smoothie.
-Top a toasted whole-grain English muffin with tomato, turkey bacon and cheese.
Delicious Dinners: For dinner, planning ahead and using some frozen or canned items saves time.
