5 Healthy Things You Should Have In Your Kitchen

in Smart Food on 08/16/20

Being healthy starts in the kitchen. It’s important that you have what you need in your kitchen in order to give your body the proper nutrition and take care of your health. People who take their health seriously know the importance of a solid diet that is created with love and care.

You wouldn’t eat food that was infested with pests, so why would you eat food that is full of chemicals and preservatives? Take a look at some of the healthiest things that you should always have in your kitchen.

Olive Oil

They say that Mediterranean diets are the healthiest in the world, so it’s no surprise that olive oil is on the top of the list. Olive oil isn’t just for cooking in your pan when you need something to avoid the food sticking. Olive oil is for drizzling on everything from your salads to your pasta for a boost of flavor.

Just make sure that you remember it’s an oil. Even though it’s full of healthy fats, it’s still loaded with calories. Make sure that you use it in reasonable quantities.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt isn’t just a delicious form of yogurt that you can enjoy sprinkled with muesli and honey, but it also makes a low-fat substitute for less healthy options.

Use greek yogurt instead of heavy cream or sour cream in any kind of recipe. You can even use it instead of mayonnaise for a boost of protein while still keeping the flavor!

Tuna

Tuna is a fantastic lean protein that can be integrated into all sorts of dishes. It’s a low fat, high protein addition to your cupboard. The best part is, you don’t even have to cook it! Open the can and put it in whatever it is that you want to make.

From salads to sandwiches, tuna is a fantastic way to add a simple boost high protein with little effort.

Beans

Beans bean the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you….. Yes, it’s true beans have a bad reputation for the toots, but they are also a fantastic source of fiber and protein. One single cup of garbanzos can pack as many as 12 grams of fiber and over 15 grams of protein!

They can also pack a punch of iron, and the best part is, they’re super cheap! If you’re on a budget but still looking to be healthy, beans are a great addition to your cupboard.

Quinoa

You’ve probably heard of quinoa by now, but you’re not sure what the rage is all about. People love it because it’s a fantastic alternative to rice, with loads of proteins and vitamins. Just make sure that you add plenty of flavor to get the most out of whatever you cook it with! Quinoa by itself can be rather bland.
