Stock your kitchen with these teen easy-to-prepare staples:
NUT BUTTERS - such as peanut, almond, or sunflower butter — are easy to spread on toast with sliced bananas or make a tasty dip for apples, celery, or bell pepper strips.
EGGS - fried, scrambled, or hard-boiled, eggs are a great source of protein, vitamin B12, choline, and phosphorus.
PREPPED VEGETABLES - pre-cut baby carrots and hummus for snacks, frozen edamame and peas to add to pasta, and diced tomatoes for chili.
GRAINS - Quick-cooking whole grains such as quinoa, instant brown rice, and whole-wheat couscous take less than 15 minutes from start to finish. Toss in microwaved frozen vegetables, add soy sauce, and a source of protein.
LEAN PROTEIN - grill, bake, or broil marinated chicken, fish, or beef. Or, sauté ground chicken or turkey, tempeh, or tofu to add to spaghetti sauce, chili, or tacos.
