As a mom I’m always looking for quick, easy and affordable dinner ideas. As a mom and registered dietitian I’m also always looking for healthy meals to feed my family. Planning ahead greatly increases the chances of these things happening. When I’m left last minute scrambling to feed my family with nothing planned, dinner most often end up being less healthy, more expensive and not as satisfying.
Enter: canned fruits and vegetables.
As a trusted leader in the canned produce industry, Libby’s® Fruits & Vegetables has been delivering high-quality, wholesome products to kitchens since its debut in 1868. Libby’s wide variety of shelf-stable, conveniently packed, nutritious and delicious fruit and vegetable products – from Whole Kernel Sweet Corn to Sliced Peaches to Green Beans – help busy families get fast, wholesome meals on the table without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.
I always keep a variety of frozen and canned fruits and vegetables stocked in my kitchen. They often help me get an easy and nutritious meal on the table. Canned vegetables often get a bad reputation for being high in sodium and added sugar – which sometimes they are – but this isn’t always the case. Now many brands and items offer a no salt added (or reduced sodium) and no sugar added varieties. Libby’s has a ‘Naturals’ line of canned vegetables that have no salt or sugar added. They also offer many of their fruits packed in 100% juice.
If I can’t find a no salt added or reduced sodium option, I drain and rinse the vegetables at home. This won’t remove all of the sodium, but can reduce it by up to 40%! To get a vegetable on the table, I’ll take that trade off.
This Chicken and Corn Curry is a meal that checks all the boxes on my dinner wish list: easy, quick, affordable, delicious, kid-approved, and nutritious. Served over some brown rice or quinoa, it makes a great meal!
