NUTRITION INSPIRATIONS: June 9, 2011

Welcome
to your next edition of NUTRITION
INSPIRATIONS.

Single Serving Edamame Snack Packs

I love the ease and portion control of these mini bags from Seapoint Farms.  Each box contains 6 bags that you can use at a meal or for on-the-go snacks. Available at your local supermarket.

1 Bag = 90 Calories, 2.5g Fat, 30mg Sodium, 8g Carbs, 3g Sugar, and 1g Fiber

Savory Side Dish

The Zucchini, Tomato & Fennel Tian from Four Tines brand is a delicious side
dish.  You can easily turn it into a quick lunch or dinner by adding grilled chicken or fish.  Keep in mind that each box is one serving so if you plan on sharing, be sure to buy more!  Available at Whole Foods Stores.

1 Box = 130 Calories, 3g Fat, 19g Carbs, 6g Sugar, and g Fiber

Sustainable Wild Salmon from Target Stores

Target has eliminated all farm raised salmon from its stores.  They now sell bags of individually wrapped and frozen wild Alaskan keta salmon which have 700mg omega-3 and 23g protein per serving.  You can defrost and use for your family or make just one for yourself.  I enjoy mine marinated in Mr. Yoshida’s Original Gourmet Sweet Teriyaki Sauce (available at Costco stores).

1 serving = 140 Calories, 4g Fat, 0g Carbs, and 23g Protein

Whether or not you are trying to eat more vegetarian meals, I highly recommend the Bento Box from Trader Joe’s.  I had so much fun trying the 9 different foods and flavors that are included.  Each is 2 servings, but you can eat the entire box for a satisfying meal.

1 Box = 380 Calories, 8g Fat, 66g Carbs, 6g Sugar, 14g Fiber, and 10g Protein

Recipe Collection Idea

I have dozens of cookbooks that have recipes that I used to forget about.  I have begun the process of re-reading, flagging, and labeling them with small post-it notes.  Now any time I am looking for a recipe, I just need to scan the top of my cookbook!

Organic Feta Cheese

I recently discovered Feta Cheese Crumbles from Organic Creamery.  At only 70 calories and 4 grams of fat per ounce, I find them tasty and versatile.  This morning I added them to my egg white omelet and used them to perk up my salad last week.  Available at your local grocer.

1 ounce = 70 Calories, 4g Fat, 2g Carbs, and 1g Sugar
