🛒Set Yourself Up for Success Before You Even Cook!

Healthy meals start with a well-planned grocery cart.
Before your next shopping trip, use the MyPlate approach to build your list:

🥬 Fruits & Vegetables: Choose a variety of fresh, frozen, or canned (look for no added sugar or low-sodium options).
🍗Protein: Chicken, fish, eggs, beans, lentils, tofu, or lean ground meat.
🌾Whole Grains: Brown rice, oats, quinoa, whole wheat bread, or whole grain pasta.
🥛Dairy or Dairy Alternatives: Milk, yogurt, or fortified plant-based options.
Planning ahead can make healthy choices easier throughout the week and help reduce food waste.

💬What’s one healthy staple that’s always on your grocery list?

🥦Make vegetables the star of the meal!

This baked cauliflower recipe is a delicious way to add more vegetables to your plate while keeping things simple and flavorful.

Cauliflower is a great source of fiber and important nutrients, and roasting it brings out a delicious flavor and satisfying texture.

A simple reminder from MyPlate: try to make half your plate fruits and vegetables for a balanced meal.🍽

Whether you’re serving it as a side dish or enjoying it as a veggie-packed snack, this recipe is an easy way to add more plants to your day!
