Quick and Easy Pizzas
"I’ll use a 100-percent whole-grain Flatout flatbread to make pizzas in minutes that my kids love. I’ll top them with whatever I have on hand, which could be grilled veggies, arugula, or other greens, cherry tomatoes, basil, or even BBQ chicken," says Mitzi Dulan, author of The Pinterest Diet: How to Pin Your Way Thin and nutritionist to the Kansas City Royals. Here’s how to make a Mediterranean-style pie: spread hummus on a healthy, whole-grain, fiber-rich flatbread, or wrap and add artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, red onion, cherry tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, and basil. Then top with feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and heat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
Tuna Pasta Salad
Have tuna and pasta in your pantry? Then you can make a healthy meal, explains Dana Angelo-White, MS, RD, ATC, a registered dietitian and athletic trainer. White uses both light and albacore tuna in her tuna salad recipe, then combines it with whole-grain pasta. "Tuna salad is protein-packed and will count toward your recommended two or more servings of seafood per week." Serve over a bed of greens or store-bought mixed greens for extra veggies.
