Healthy Meals on the go for the Whole Family

Everyone is busy and sometimes need to come up with dinners and fast. Check out some healthier food choices instead of those "easy" take out orders.

To create your Go-To Meals, start with a few of your favorite ingredients. The next trip to the grocery store, stock up on easy foods that you can whip up in a minutes.

A few suggestions:
  • Peanut butter and jelly- better served on whole wheat bread.
  • Pita pocket sandwiches- stuff with veggies and healthy lunch meat.
  • Peas and tune- Open a can of each, mix and microwaves and eat.
  • Oatmeal- Does not have to be just for breakfast.
  • Low-Sodium Soup- will fill you up fast.

Add some of your favorites as well. Plan ahead and make sure you have items in the house to choose from.
