For those of us with busy schedules, it can be tempting to pick up packaged foods (like seasoned rice/pastas/vegetables or frozen entrees) for a quick meal. But be cautious when purchasing packaged foods as they are often high in added salt, sugar, and or saturated fats. They may also contain questionable chemicals. My advice is to chose packaged foods with less ingredients that are wholesome. Or better yet, cook your food in bulk when you have the chance so that making a meal around your busy schedule is a breeze! Eat Well, Live Well.
Dairy-free yogurts are a great alternative for those with milk/lactose intolerance or for those who want to limit animal products in their diet. Dairy-free yogurts (DFY) are made from nut milks like soy, almond, cashew or coconut milk. One downside to DFY is that the protein content is lower than regualr yogurt. The good news is that adding protein powder to your DFY or having a handful of nuts with your DFY can remedy the low protein issue. Eat Well, Live Well.
