Banana-Bran Muffins
Everyone always has bananas that are too brown to eat, but they are just right for this recipe. Try replacing ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce for the canola oil to increase moisture or replace chocolate chips with blueberries. Using the wheat bran and whole-wheat flour increases the fiber in these tasty muffins. Pair this muffin with a serving of non-fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a well-balanced snack.
Walnut-Rosemary Crusted Salmon
Pair this delicious salmon with some fresh sautéed asparagus or steamed broccoli and roasted red potatoes. Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body. Most Americans do not get enough omega-3s in their diet. The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fatty fish per week. Other sources include albacore tuna, lake trout, sardines, mackerel and herring.
