Eat Better and Keep it Simple

People think eating right has to be difficult or that everything healthy has to taste like cardboard. Not true! Need more fruits and veggies? You can start your day with 2 servings of fruit in just an 8 ounce glass of orange juice. You will get a full day supply of Vitamin C, as much potassium as a medium banna and a good source of folate and thiamin. Great deal for 120 calories!! To make  a great deal even better Tropicana has a great program going with their Juicy Rewards. Just go to Tropicana.com and enter in the code on the container and you can save on things to keep the family active like running shoes or trips to the zoo.

Need to reduce saturated fat? Make a simple substitution of soft spread margarines like Promise or I Can’t Believe it’s not butter. You will reduce Saturated fat by about 70%, eliminate hydrogenated oil which means no trans fat, and they are made from healthy oils like soybean and canola oil.
