The refrigerated dairy aisles of the grocery store are full of easy-to-find, tasty, and healthy foods, like drinks to quench your thirst, great meals and sides, and healthy snacks.
Here are some ideas for healthy snacks you can eat at any time:
Cheese Kabobs: Put slices of apple and cheddar cheese on skewers and switch them out.
Orange juice, frozen strawberries, and vanilla yoghurt are mixed together in a Tropical Smoothie-Blend.
Morning Wake-Up: Mix together a cup of skim milk, a teaspoon of instant coffee, and some sweetened cocoa.
Granola Delight: Layer granola, fresh fruit, and yoghurt in your favourite flavour.
Ultimate Easy Snack: Keep yoghurts, jello, cheese sticks, vegetable dips, and other snacks that come in individual packages in the fridge so you can snack at any time, anywhere.
The Cool Aisles of the store are great any time of year, but June is Dairy Month, which is sponsored by the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA). This means that you can find deals and discounts on a lot of tasty, cool favourites.
Here is an easy-to-make meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner that uses key ingredients from the dairy aisle:
Vegetable Cheddar Quiche
1 cup red, green, or yellow bell peppers, chopped
3/4 cup of sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup of cut-up onion
1 cup refrigerated egg substitute
1 cup of non-dairy creamer in the fridge
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 oz shredded Cheddar Cheese
Heat a 10-inch skillet, spray it well with nonstick cooking spray, and saute peppers, mushrooms, and onions until they are soft but still crisp. Mix the egg substitute, creamer, salt, and pepper together. Pour the mixture into the skillet, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the mixture is set. Put cheese on the quiche and put the lid back on until the cheese melts. Take it off the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes. 4 people.
