March is National Nutrition Month 

 

March is National Nutrition Month and to celebrate, we want to give you some simple tips from our 

Nutrition Staff. Here are some ways incorporate the five food groups that we should eat everyday: 

  • Make oatmeal creamier by using fat-free milk, almond milk or soy milk instead of water and sweeter by adding fresh berries, raisins or dried cranberries instead of sugar. This way you get 3 out of 5 food groups at once: dairy, fruit, and grains.
  • Add slices of avocado, tomato or cucumber to lean roast beef, ham, turkey or chicken sandwiches. More veggies means more fiber and more food groups!
  • Replace soda with 1 cup sparkling water and 1/2 cup of 100-percent fruit juice plus a slice of lime.
  • Top salads with chopped nuts and reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese to get crunch, flavor and vitamins with each bite. 
  • For dessert, enjoy a tropical treat by blending frozen mango and/or other fruits, plain fat-free yogurt, and a cup of orange or pineapple fruit juice. Also try frozen banana, strawberries, peanut or almond butter, 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder, and some low-fat milk for a healthy chocolate milkshake!

Nutrition Tip
 

Eating less than 1 teaspoon (2300 mg) of salt per day remains the ideal goal for Americans. The average American still eats about 1.5 teaspoons (3400 mg) of salt every day! Learn more.
