HEALTHY SUMMERTIME ENTERTAINING

Summer has finally arrived! With the warm weather upon us, Americans nationwide are coming together to enjoy time outdoors. Whether you're grilling at home, hanging out at the beach or going on a picnic, you can still incorporate healthy eating habits while entertaining this summer.

"Incorporate whole grains into your summer recipes. Whole grains are low in cholesterol and saturated fats and have zero trans fats. They are also a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals and help us keep our body bathing-suit ready for summer. You can make a healthier burger for your BBQ, such as a Turkey Tomato Florentine Burger that I found on Uncle Ben's website. This burger is made with Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice Sun-Dried Tomato Florentine and will help cut calories and saturated fat and boost the fiber of your burger. You can get the recipe on www.unclebens.com," says Julie Upton, registered dietitian and national health communications expert specializing in nutrition, fitness and wellness.
