Nutrition Fact Day 28:
Squash contains many nutrients such as folate, vitamins A & C, maganese, & magnesium which all fight against cardiovascular disease! Cooking Tip: Turn your veggies into "pasta" by using spaghetti squash as noodles!
Nutrition Fact Day 16:
Apples are full of soluble fiber. In fact, one medium-sized apple yields 4g of fiber. This soluble fiber is linked to decreased cholesterol levels too! So in addition to being satiating and therefore promoting weight-loss, they also are heart healthy! Cooking Tip: I like to use apples whenever I cook with pork. They naturally moisten and flavor the pork which can otherwise be dry and bland.
Nutrition Fact Day 12:
Agave nectar has a low-glycemic index, which means it does not quickly elevate glucose or insulin into your blood stream. Agave is considered a safer sweetener for diabetics, as compared to honey & high-fructose corn syrup. I use agave on my pancakes as an alternative to syrup. I also use it to sweeten my homemade popcorn! It is sticky, but mixed with a little salt, it tastes like kettle corn!
Nutrition Fact Day 11:
Whenever possible, opt for Greek Yogurt over American Yogurt as it contains one extra gram of protein per ounce. If you consume a 6oz. serving of Greek Yogurt, you will have consumed 15 grams of protein and 20% of your daily recommended calcium! Additionally, it is lower in sugar and is less processed than American Yogurt. Cooking Tip: swap Sour Cream for Greek Yogurt when making dips! More protein and less fat!
