Avocado is full of healthy, monounsaturated fat that is good for your cholesterol and will not raise your blood sugar. This is a veggie sandwich, but you could add turkey or chicken for extra protein.

Beans are one of the healthiest carbohydrate sources. They are full of fiber and other nutrients. If you need to eat a gluten-free diet, beans can be a staple in your meal plan.

This grilled tilapia is a fresh and flavorful dish that fits in the Low fat and Low Carb eating pattern. Tender tilapia fillets are grilled to perfection and served with a vibrant salsa made from crunchy corn, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, all atop a bed of peppery arugula.

Are you a smooth or chunky salsa lover? If you like your salsa smooth, then blend until smooth. If you like your salsa chunky, then skip the blending altogether.

Healthy eating can taste delicious and doesn’t have to be boring! Try these burgers at your next tailgate or BBQ and your guests will have no idea they are eating a healthy burger.

With extra vegetables, this version makes the grade.
