Eat off of the salad bar for
a quick and nutritious lunch. Load up on vegetables and
limit the cheese and salad dressings to help reduce
calories and fat. We offer fat free Italian, fat free
raspberry vinaigrette and fat free ranch dressings. Use
a small amount of dressing and try adding banana
peppers to your salad for extra taste. Additional
toppings like croutons, sunflower seeds, fried onions,
and crackers really add on the fat grams and calories so
avoid these when possible. Watch your consumption of
mayonnaise based salads, stick with oil based pasta
salads, jello, and fruits. Our cottage cheese is now 2%
low fat and our yogurt is Lite 85.
Fruits and Vegetables are
full of fiber which can help reduce the risk of some
cancers. Eat a variety of colors to get the most
nutrition.
Green fruits
and vegetables can help with eyesight and strong bones
and teeth while leafy greens are a great source of
vitamins A and C-the darker they are the more they have!
Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables strengthen your
immune system and help with eyesight. The enzyme papain
in papayas is excellent for your digestion.
Blue and
purple fruits and vegetables may help maintain a healthy
urinary tract. Blackberries are a good source of the
antioxidant Vitamin C. The anthocyanins in purple
grapes may help prevent heart disease.
White fruits and vegetables
can help maintain a healthy heart and good cholesterol
levels. Eat cauliflower for the indoles and help reduce
the risk of breast cancer. Bananas have plenty of
potassium which may help prevent strokes.
