With summer almost here, we tend to steer away from the comfort foods of winter and fill our refrigerators with fresh fruit and vegetables. The farmers markets are opening this month, offering us a great opportunity to choose from locally grown food, which will not only benefit our bodies but our local economy as well.
A fresh salad does not have to be simply a starter to a great meal — it can be the meal. With so many fresh vegetables to choose from, it can be filling and satisfying. Add some protein to your salad in the way of chicken, steak or salmon to make sure you are receiving a balanced meal.
Looking for a healthy snack? Certain fruits allow conscientious eaters to fill up without filling out. For example, watermelon is 92 percent water — so it’s hydrating and satiating without the disadvantage of fat or cholesterol.
And remember to always eat breakfast. Try incorporating fruit into your morning routine by combining fruit with low-fat yogurt and topping off your whole grain cereal with some fresh strawberries. It’s a great way to start your day!
