@JBraddockRD #MakeHealthyEasy Thank you! This was a fun experience. Got to learn a lot and helped a lot of us learn how to use Twitter! :)

#MakeHealthyEasy Q12: I like steamer bag vegetables. Some are even pre-seasoned. Just zap them for a few seconds and you have a great side.

#MakeHealthyEasy Q11: I used to not be a fan of nuts for snacks, but I recently found almonds with neat flavors like soy and wasabi.

@CandiceLaubach1 #MakeHealthyEasy Frozen leftovers are also great for when you are in a time crunch. Nice tip for repurposing leftovers.

#MakeHealthyEasy Q:10 As a college student, I try to save money. I often base my meals around the weekly grocery ad or rebate app offerings.

@caitlyn_rose7 #MakeHealthyEasy I think planning ahead is very important. Every year my family buys too much for the holidays!

#MakeHealthyEasy Sometimes if I accidentally bought more than I could eat that week, I would freeze the remainder. Less food waste!

#MakeHealthyEasy Some fruits such as berries should never be washed before storage--it encourages mold growth! Only wash before eating.

#MakeHealthyEasy Q7: I love to make curries. A great way to add vegetables too! Indian, Thai, Japanese--many options and various flavors!

[Monique @MoNutrition_]

#MakeHealthyEasy Q6: If you snack by the TV, you could pre-portion servings ahead of time. Veggies are filling, low calorie options too.

@violist_marla #MakeHealthyEasy Never tried avocado as a fat replacer, sounds interesting. I might try that sometime! Thanks.

#MakeHealthyEasy Q5: Pumpkin spice season is here--muffins don't need as much sugar as some baked goods. Also try zucchini or carrot breads.

@violist_marla #MakeHealthyEasy I park in lot 18 too, that was my rationale behind choosing that one as well. :)

#MakeHealthyEasy I'm guilty of "not having time to exercise"--looking forward to reading everyone's suggestions. I need ideas!

@JBraddockRD #MakeHealthyEasy Q3: If you aren't a fan of tofu, there are many brands of TVP and seitan that are marinated w/ lots of flavor.

[Monique @MoNutrition_]

@JBraddockRD #MakeHealthyEasy Q2: You can hide spinach and greens in smoothies or take it from the Brits--tomato, mushroom, and baked beans!

[Monique @MoNutrition_]

@JBraddockRD #MakeHealthyEasy Q1: I try to make at least 1 bean soup/stew to last me the week. Fiber enriched granola bars for snacks too!

[Monique @MoNutrition_]

@JBraddockRD Q1: I buy fiber enriched granola bars as snacks. I also try to prepare at least 1 bean soup/stew to last throughout the week.
