Let's continue our shopping tour. But don't stop there, you'll find nutritious foods like beans, whole grains, and cereal in the middle aisles. Read labels carefully and look for foods that are minimally processed. Dairy products are an exception to the minimally processed rule. It's better to buy versions where naturally occurring fat has been removed, such as fat free milk or low fat cheese.
Soups Look for fat free and lower sodium varieties.
Bean, pea or lentil soups provide fiber, folate and protein, and are so satisfying. Salsa is a great low calorie source of lycopene. Black bean dip is often fat free. You can now buy brown sticky rice, a whole grain. It's so flavorful, you'll use less than the pre-grated.
