Looking for simple, healthy meal ideas that your family will enjoy? Here are some tips to add a healthy boost to your meals:
Veggies in a Snap
- Stir-fries become a breeze when vegetables are ready-to-go. Load up on frozen, canned or pre-cut vegetables. Use different coloured vegetables to get a burst of colour, flavour and antioxidants.
Go Green
- Enjoy leafy green salads topped with strips of grilled lean beef for a light summer meal packed with protein, iron and zinc – a great choice to help give you energy for your active summer days.
Flavour Punch
- Add flavour-packed, nutritious ingredients in small amounts. Try aged Cheddar, Parmesan and Feta cheeses, toasted nuts or olives for a healthy kick to your meals.
- Enhance the aroma and taste without a lot of fat or salt. Add a pinch of fresh herbs, freshly grated ginger or citrus peel, or a splash of vinegar or citrus juices.

Fibre Boost
- Use whole wheat pasta or brown rice in place of the white stuff. Not only are whole grains full of more vitamins and minerals, the fibre in whole grains will help you feel full and satisfied longer.
One-Pot Wonders
- Serve up chili made with lean or extra lean ground beef. Take advantage of canned, diced tomatoes and canned beans to pull it together in a snap. Chili makes for great leftovers during the week.
