Grocery Store Tour - Spotlight Ingredient
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are so underrated! Loaded with nutrients, they’re also very high in water (which makes them filling) and low in calories. A great addition to salads and stir-fries, they’re also delicious when stuffed and baked. Large mushrooms are excellent when grilled and make a great replacement for meat in a veggie burger. When buying fresh mushrooms, make sure they are firm. Store them, wrapped loosely in plastic, in the refrigerator.
Simple Swap Idea
Swap Pizza Crust for Mushroom Caps
Make a mini-pizza that satisfies your craving while cutting carbs and slashing calories. An average Portobello mushroom has only 27 calories. Mushrooms have meaty texture and rich flavor, and they’re loaded with antioxidants and other nutrients. Top a grilled Portobello cap with tomato sauce and low-fat cheese, and you have a no-guilt pizza treat.
