More of this, less of that

Spring brings a renewed dedication to health and wellness – and doing the best we can for our families, and ourselves.  It’s eating more of the foods that are good for us and less of those that aren’t. It’s finding lower fat, lower sugar varieties of our favorite foods. It’s about adding more whole grains. With that in mind, here are 3 small “feel good” steps to help you and your family make this Spring the best ever.

1. Reduce the fat and sugar in everyday meals: Make your PB&J with Jif Reduced Fat Peanut Butter Spread and Smucker’s Sugar Free Jams and Preserves.

2.Increase whole grains: When a recipe calls for 1 cup flour, use ¼ cup whole-wheat flour and ¾ cup all purpose flour. As your family’s tastes adjust, slowly increase the ratio of whole wheat flour.

3.Make it fun: Get creative and try new things.  Spread Jif Peanut Butter over a whole grain English muffin, then sprinkle with raisins and diced apple for a fun snack.
