Oats

But feel free to experiment on other ingredients that you think will make your pasta more fulfilling for you. You can also add vegetables for a more nutritious pasta dish.

Frozen Produce

 

If you have no access to fresh produce, frozen produce gives you the same amount of nutrients. Your frozen berries can provide you with fiber, and Vitamin C. Frozen fish is rich with Omega 3 and protein while your frozen leafy greens give you folate.

 

And a Tracy Tip? There should be three colors on your plate for every meal.

 

Whole Grains

 

Another kitchen staple is your whole grains. Brown rice, for instance, is rich in protein and fiber and is known to lower cholesterol.

Quinoa also has all nine essential amino acids.

 

The best thing about grains is that you can also combine them with different vegetables available in your fridge.

 

It pays to take care of your body during these unprecedented times. Don’t be too hard on yourself and listen to your body – eat what you want to eat and choose whatever works for your organization. Do not deprive your body but maintain healthy portions as well.
