Pack Nutrients Into Every Dish

I found this list of 10 ways to pack nutrients into every dish in the South Beach Living little mini magazine that I got. I thought that the list was rather interesting and had things in it that I had not thought of. I thought that I would type it out and post it so others might get some information from it.

1. Before heating spaghetti sauce, stir in shredded reduced-fat mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and chopped zucchini.

2. Top fish with salsa

3. Melt reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over reduced-fat turkey hot dogs.

4. Mix black beans into hamburger meat.

5. When making lasagna, replace half the meat with slices of portabella mushroom.

6. Bulk up a salad by tossing in nuts and fruit, such as strawberries or orange segments.

7. Top turkey burgers with roasted red bell peppers.

8. Serve cooked lean meat over a bed of mixed greens with olive oil and vinegar.

9. Crush whole-grain, high-fiber cereal to use as crumbs for breading cutlets.

10. Give canned soup a kick of green by stirring in bok choy, swiss chard or spinach leaves.
