Healthy Food Fast and Cheap!
Okay so I was go through my magazines catching up on some reading when I saw an advertisement for a chicken breast that is pre – cooked and ready to serve in a pouch! I beleive it was a StarKist add, they are also a major tuna distributer for the pre packgaged chunk light tuna that comes in the pouch. This is a great fast and cheap source of protein and something you can pack up quickly on days when your pressed for time. I opt for the tuna in water instead of oil its lower in calories and fat and better for you. The only thing with the tuna is that it is higher in sodium because it comes in that convenient little package, so sodium sensitive individuals might not want to eat this all the time – but once in a while should be fine. The other great thing is you can find some tasty recipes on the back that don’t involve mayo! Pair it up with a salad and some fruit, or plain with a couple of whole wheat crackers and you have a quick cheap healthy snack! Check out www.starkist.com for more helpful tips.
