Tips for Healthier Foods

Tips for Healthier Foods

Popcorn Is a Perfect Healthy Snack

Low-fat popcorn is crunchy, delicious, and a source of whole grain fiber. Plus, you can enjoy a large, filling portion! Look for popcorn made with "94% Fat Free Butter" or air-popped popcorn.


Potato chips are high in fat and it's hard to eat just a few – all that you get in a 1 oz serving. If you love chips, go for the baked ones and watch your portion size.


One Bowl for Your Fiber Needs

For a nourishing start to your day, choose a whole-grain bran cereal packed with fiber, such as raisin bran or bran flakes.  Add fruit and low-fat milk for the most nutritious beginning.

Granola may be natural but it's often high in fat. Use granola sparingly or as a topper on low-fat yogurt.

Shave the Fat, Not the Flavor

Choose sorbets, sherbets, light ice creams, or frozen yogurts for a fraction of the fat and calories.


Thanks to a new special churning technology, these frozen treats taste like rich and creamy premium ice cream. A ½ cup dessert can fit into everyone's diet.


Skip High-Fat Pizza Toppings

Enjoy thin-crust frozen pizza Margarita style, or with grilled chicken or veggies. By passing on the sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese, you'll slash the fat, sodium, and calories in this favorite food.


Limit your portion to two slices (of a 12-inch pizza) and add a filling side salad to complete the meal.


Go for Real Juice

100% fruit juices are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting antioxidants. In fact, they're the next best thing to eating whole fruit.


"Fruit juice drinks," however, are usually packed with sugar and empty calories.
