You may think that you've been making healthy food choices but nutrition experts have compiled their own list of foods that masquerade as healthy.
- Pre-made trail mix - Try making your own trail mix with a base of unsalted almonds, walnuts and/or pecans, and toss in pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds and unsweetened morsels of dried cherries, plums and/or figs.
- Veggie chips - For snacks that still crunch, enjoy real veggies such as cucumber wedges, bell pepper slices and carrot sticks.
- Cereal, granola and breakfast bars - Click on this link to make your own homemade granola bars with just five ingredients and no baking.
- Multigrain and seven-grain products - Look for bread products made with whole-grain flour or unbleached, enriched wheat flour.
- Packaged turkey and chicken breast - Roast and slice your own meats or select only low-sodium packaged meats or low-sodium meats from the deli.
