Good to Know:
  • Black beans (in the crispy tacos) have more to offer than fiber and protein. They're just as rich in antioxidants as grapes and cranberries, and they're a great source of slow-burning complex carbohydrates.
  • The chicken stir-fry is a low-cal, low-fat, low-saturated-fat, and high-fiber main course.
  • Consuming as little as 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (in the coffee pudding) each day may reduce the rise in blood sugar that occurs after eating. This is especially good news for those with type 2 diabetes.
  • The beet soup is high in fiber, yet low in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
