Ring in the New Year with Melissa's Fresh Fruits and Vegetables!
We have a few suggestions that will make achieving this resolution simple and delicious.
From eating healthy to feel good to eating healthy for taste, fresh fruits and vegetables are the way to go. After heading to the local produce market and buying some delicious fruits and veggies, make sure you don’t just stick a whole melon in the fridge, but you actually take the time to wash, slice and put it in an easy-to-get-to container for snacking. When the kids come home from school or play, they can just grab a healthy snack that is naturally sweet instead of going for the bakery sweets that are high in processed sugars. Set out a plate with carrots and low-fat ranch dip. You will be pleasantly surprised when it disappears!

Since eating healthy or losing weight is one of the most common resolutions American’s make every New Year’s Day, we have a few suggestions that will make achieving this resolution simple and delicious…
- Eat five to eleven fresh fruits and vegetables every day; Studies prove that you will feel better and stay healthier when you eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Take fruits and vegetables along as a snack instead of "junk food". It's easy and you'll notice a difference. Melissa's makes it easy with so many items to choose from. Dried Fruit, fresh Blood Oranges or Kumquats are easy and delicious! Try them and you will see how easy it can be.
- Add TOFU to your diet. Tofu is a great substitute instead of meat. Add it to sauces, stir-fries, soups, or make delicious drinks. Tofu can help reduce cholesterol and is high in fiber. Melissa's has several products to make this easy: Soyrizo, Soy Taco, Roasted Soy Nuts and more. Check out our Product Catalog section for all the details.
- Substitute meat alternatives for your hot dogs, bacon, ground round, lunchmeat, and more. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the flavor and how these products help reduce your fat intake. Our Soy Ground is delicious!
- Drink 8 glasses of water daily. Try drinking a glass of water before a meal and you will get full faster... and possibly take off a couple pounds without even trying! Keep a water bottle with you, so when you get the urge to snack, take a drink! There are so many delicious flavored waters out there so it will make it even easier! (Just make sure you get the ones that are not carbonated or full of sugar!)
