As we all know money is tight and eating healthy on a budget can sometimes be challenging. Don't let this keep you from getting all of your recommended dietary intake. Here are some helpful hints when it comes to making veggie choices.
Fresh veggies are always the best choice but can also be pretty expensive. The second best choice is, frozen veggies. Make sure to limit on frozen corn or potatoes (they tend to have more starch than anything else). If possible, stay away from canned veggies. Canned veggies are high in sodium and lack the nutrition that is needed. If you do canned veggies.....strain out the juices and rinse with water. This helps to get rid of any unwanted preservatives. Try to make canned veggies your last resort.
Remeber:
1. Fresh
2. Frozen
3. Canned and cleaned
Lettuce?
Stay away from iceberg. Try mixing your greens with spinach and romaine.
With the economy slowly falling it is important to be a good consumer. When at the grocery store, make good decisions as well as healthy. There is always a way.
