1.Frozen Veggies
Frozen produce, like green beans, have the same nutrients as fresh and sometimes retain them even better. No shelling, shucking, or soaking required — just heat them on the stove or in the microwave. Plus, they don’t pack the sodium that most canned items do. Use them in salads, add to canned soups, or serve with microwaved brown rice.
2.Precooked Chicken Strips
Especially if you’re cooking for one or two, precooked chicken strips are more handy than a whole fryer or even frozen cutlets. Balance their higher sodium count with the rest of your meal. Lay them on a salad or next to a whole-grain side and veggies. And stick with the lean grilled types — breaded strips will bring more fat, sodium, and other additives.
