Oatmeal

  • Rich in soluble fiber, protein, iron
  • Can be used for breakfast, peanut butter balls, or healthier dessert

Canned Beans

  • Affordable source of protein and fiber
  • Always drain and rinse beans (except beans in chili sauce)
  • Add to tacos, casseroles, salads, soups

Herbs and spices

  • Look for sodium-free herbs, spices, and blends
