Every morning around 6:40 I bring you my 'Wellness Shot' it's a bit of health info that you might be able to use.
I often hear in my house "Mom there's nothing to eat." Do you?? I often turn to canned foods!
With all the hype around eating organic, whole foods, and visiting your local farmerâs market - one would wonder if canned goods are healthy.
According to a Dietician, there are some healthy canned goods.
Not only are they healthy, but canned goods have a longer shelf life, cuts down on cutting time, and are less expensive. Â
So what are the seven canned goods you should always keep on hand?Â
Pumpkin Puree-You can add to smoothies and even chili
Chickpeas-You can roast them as a snack or make hummus out of them. I add them to soups and salads because they have a ton of fiber and protein.
Canned Tomatoes-You can add this to pasta, chili or salsa.
Coconut Milk-You can add this to coffee, oatmeal or curry sauce.
Even though it's not canned I would add oatmeal and blueberries to this list! I eat this ALL the time!
If you get canned foods just make sure that you grab the low sodium or no-salt-added version.
