A Few Nutrition Tips from Your Dietitian
🌾 Buckwheat Noodles: Buckwheat is a naturally gluten-free whole grain. These noodles cook a little differently from traditional pasta, but they’re still quick to prepare. Remember, though, that the cereal used in the meatballs contains wheat.
🥬 Baby Bok Choy: If you enjoy cooked greens, give baby bok choy a try! It has a mild flavor, a tender texture, and cooks quickly in a sauté pan.
🥢 Sesame Ginger Dressing: Paul Newman’s Sesame Ginger Dressing is one of my favorites because it has a relatively short ingredient list and is comparatively low in sodium compared with similar brands.
🍽️ Don't forget serving sizes! Nutritious foods are an important part of balanced eating, but appropriate portions also matter when building meals around your individual calorie needs.
⏱️ My favorite time-saving tip: Make the meatballs ahead of time and freeze them! Having the meatballs and noodles ready to go makes putting together a quick meal so much easier.
My approach to nutrition is all about variety, practical food choices, and incorporating different food groups into everyday meals. Follow along for more realistic meal ideas and nutrition tips from a registered dietitian!
