Every year on January 1, you promise to eat healthier. But by February, real life gets in the way. Follow these easy tips to keep you on track this year.

• Eat greens: Eat greens: Serving your family tofu and spinach every night isn’t going to go over well. Instead, add a side of veggies to your meals whenever you can. Try Green Giant* Essentials side dishes, which are especially handy in Winter when fresh  vegetables aren’t readily available. You can make them in three minutes flat and they’re filled with the goodness of Omega-3, Antioxidants and Fibre.
• Switch to whole grain: Instead of refined white bread and pasta, try the whole grain versions of your favourites, which offer fibre, vitamins, minerals and more!
• Sprinkle seeds on cereal: Seeds are packed with nutrients. You can find sunflower, flax, pumpkin and other tasty seeds in your regular grocery store. Sprinkle a spoonful on your cereal, yogurt or salad.
• Eat more fish. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, some types of fish are good for your heart. Try to eat some at least twice a week. Here are some great recipes to get you started: Grilled Halibut with Mango Sauce and Potato-Crusted Salmon.
• Use herbs: These are a delicious way to enhance the flavour of your food without the salt.
• Beans, beans and more beans: They’re packed with fibre and provide protein too, which can help keep you feeling full longer. Try these Bean & Corn Tacos.
