Fast and Easy Healthful Meal Staples
Other economical sources of protein are canned chicken, fish and shellfish. Whole-wheat pasta and brown rice make great fiber sources, too. Fast food can be found in the freezer when you add shellfish, individually frozen chicken breasts and frozen vegetables to the mix.
Put everyone's favorite fruit, vegetables and yogurt in the fridge for snacks, and stock low-fat and fat-free dairy products, like cheese to sprinkle over those Mexican and Italian dishes you can cook quickly. A well-stocked pantry and fridge keeps healthy foods on the table and makes eating more economical.
