Go to the fridge and choose:

Plan Ahead

You’re hungry and staring into your fridge, but is there anything healthy in there? Stock up on a few key staples to make sure there’s something good waiting for you.

Turkey

It is low in sodium and fat but high in protein so wrap turkey breast in a whole-wheat tortilla for a snack or take it to work for lunch.

Salsa

Use it instead of oily dressings on vegetables and heartier salads, too. But be forewarned: Health benefits decline, in a big way, if you eat it with a giant bag of heavily salted, processed, deep-fried corn chips.

Hummus

It is made with chickpeas, garlic, and olive oil in addition it is low in fat and calories and high in protein and fiber. Chickpeas are legumes, which can be good for people with high blood pressure and diabetes. They also can lower your cholesterol and may help protect you against cancer. Try some with veggies like sliced cucumbers, carrots, or cherry tomatoes.

Eggs

They give you high quality protein and vitamin D source.

Kale

It’s is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat, with only 33 calories per 2.5-ounce serving. Sautee it with chopped onion in olive oil for an easy and quick side dish for chicken and beef.

Seltzer

Sugary drinks add calories to your diet, often without much nutritional value. Seltzer is a great replacement. It’s fizzy, usually comes mildly flavored, and has just a few calories -- a great way to get a soft drink fix without the calories that normally go with it.

100% Fruit Juice

It is good source of vitamins and minerals but it is high in fructose so try to consume it in moderation.

Plain Yogurt

It is a good source of calcium, high-quality protein, and probiotics may be linked to healthier cholesterol levels. People who eat yogurt are less likely to be obese or have heart disease, and full-fat yogurt is better for that than low-fat. Eat it with fruit or granola, or use it instead of sour cream to lighten up desserts and stews.

Celery

It is rich in fiber, vitamin A, potassium and calcium, it’s perfect for stocks or salads or as a seasoning agent when you cook beef or chicken. It’s also a great finger food: You can snack on it by itself, spread peanut butter on it, or dip it in hummus.

Whole-Wheat Tortillas

They’re low in calories and fat and can be ready in seconds. Sautee whatever vegetables you have in your fridge with some onion and throw in a can of beans. It doesn’t sound like much, but put it all on a freshly heated tortilla with a bit of salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro, and you’ve got a feast for the senses that’s healthy to boot.

Cabbage

It is packed with fiber, as well as potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. It’s great for coleslaw and other salads, or steamed as a side dish.

Fresh whole grain pasta

It is easy to be prepared and can be done as side or main dish. It has low glycaemic index and can be good for diabetic patients.

Avocado

It is healthy fat and it is good for heart and lower cholesterol level. In addition it is delicious and you can enjoy it with with eggs or spread on a thin piece of whole grain toast with nothing but salt and pepper.

Berries

They’re low in calories and rich in antioxidants, and fiber; in addition they are good for heart and brain health, and they may help protect against certain cancers as well. They are delicious you can enjoy them with salad or eat them with some yogurt and granola for dessert.
