And brocoli... Beli...Use beats in your juice mixes! And brocoli... Believe it or not, those two with some spinich leaves, mixed with some fruit, and the veggie flavor isn't really there, the beats make it purple, and the kids will most likely never know the difference! We've talked about juicing, but then again, you're comment on the price for veggies is a pain. We're lucky that WIC is giving money for fresh produce now, but it all depends on the kids. We get $6 each month on WIC for produce items and it usually gets us a couple of avacados and some celery, to which the kids end up not eating and Rob and I do.<br /><br />Another thing, when it comes to buying lettuce, buy Romain instead of iceburg. There aren't really any steady nutrients in the iceburg lettuce, but mostly water. The Romain is good, tastey and you can buy a three pack of hearts. One heart makes a good sized salad, too! And from the WW standpoint, most veggies out there are 0 points and so salads could be 0 points depending on the type of salad dressing you would use.<br /><br />Note: The price of Whole Grain/Wheat Pasta has gone down over the past few years and is the same price as regular white flour pastas. Opt for the brown stuff! It tastes great and is so much better for you! :-) Hannah LOVES it!Amanda Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894226939819963457noreply@blogger.com
