An easy way to make linguine meals healthier is to add some veggies to the mix. In this recipe we add some soy beans or edamames. We have found that kids will eat edamames a lot easier than they will broccoli – so you might want to give them a try. Throw down some whole wheat pasta. Now in a pan saute some shelled edamame, lots of fresh garlic, pasta, your favorite spices and some vegetable broth. Cook all that up then mix in the cooked pasta warm it up a bit and chow down.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share a favorite edamame rice pilaf recipe. Whenever you are making rice (and we recommend brown rice instead of white rice) add some veggies to eat to make it a pilaf – kind of like rice-a-roni but healthier. So for this recipe add tomatoes, onions, chicken broth, a little olive oil, and a bag of frozen unshelled edamame beans. Edamame beans are high in fiber and deliver lots of protein. You can find edamames (both shelled and unshelled) at Trader Joes and other grocery stores that have healthy food options. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite snacks. Snacking can blow up your diet faster than you can say Ben and Jerry. So when you choose a snack to eat during that mid morning or mid afternoon lull go for something that is nutrient rich but not too filling. Remember, a snack is just a little something to take the edge off your hunger pang until your next meal. Some good easy, quick and healthy snacks are: apple slices with peanut butter; a handful of almonds, walnuts or edamames; dried fruit; rolled up turkey with a bit of avocado or some hummus with carrots.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share Dr Fitness’ favorite recipe for Edamame Soup. Somehow the Fat Guy missed the memo that the edamame bean is really just a soy bean. But give it some exotic Asian name and you can charge more for it at restaurants. Well the edamame /soy bean is packed with nutrients, proteins and omega 3 fats. It even has calcium and other essential vitamins as well. So an easy way to add some of this healthy goodness into your diet is to make a soup out of them. Make up some vegetable broth, throw in some shelled edamames, some ginger and more of your favorite spices and veggies and you’ve got yourself a hearty healthy meal.
