Ned's healthy lunch

Ned feared he would have little for lunch, but he found some Beanito black bean chips (see earlier post). Here was his lunch.

One serving Beanitos, about 10-12 chips, maybe 150 calories and 55 grams sodium.

One serving Ry-Crisp, or two wafers: high in fiber and good protein, lots of whole grain rye and oats, and a bit of sesame seed. Only about 70 mg salt.

One half large Fuji apple, from Washington State: great fiber, anti-oxidants and vitamins and minerals.

A quarter of a Navel orange from CA--heck, go crazy and eat a whole one if you like: great source of fiber and nutrients. Ned also likes to eat the inside out of the skin, as he likes it, and he read somewhere that it has lots of bioflavenoids.

One and a half ounces of parmesan or some other fairly low-sodium cheese. Good protein source.

A swig or two of Trader Joe's Garden Patch low-sodium veggie juice.

If you need a sweet, Ned recommends a bit of blackstrap molasses (loaded with minerals) and a few dry roasted almonds.
