GREEN LIST FOODS
Full-fat Dairy
Dairy adds fat, flavor, and some protein to each meal. It's also quick food
to grab while on the go. Stores often have cheese sticks in mozzarella or
cheddar cheeses, which are easy to pack in lunches.
Meats, Fish, and sources of protein
Look first for sources of protein. Purchase meats on sale. Used canned
meats to make cold salads such as chicken salad or tuna salad by adding a
little mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, and salt. Canned meats can also be
used to make a quick casserole.
