Healthy Side Dishes
Looking
for a side dish to go with your grilled chicken or fish that is both healthy
and easy to prepare; then checkout Saute’
Sweets by Alexia Foods.
This
new product can be found in the frozen vegetable section at most local grocery
stores. The bag contains a tasty
blend of sweet potatoes, black beans, sweet corn, red bell peppers, and
onions. Just thaw the included
pouch of chipotle-infused olive oil and combine with the rest of the
ingredients in a skillet; then saute’ for 10 to 12 minute. The finished product yields a very
tasty side dish that delivers 7grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, 100 percent
of the daily vitamin A requirement, 20 percent vitamin C, and 10 percent iron
(per serving).
Best of all one serving is only 240 calories, 1.5 grams of saturated
fat, and 310 milligrams of sodium.
It has received a “thumbs up” from the Nutrition Action Healthletter.
