Healthy foods that are cheap

• Popcorn – many people think popcorn is
  unhealthy.  Not true.  Popcorn is whole grain and many Americans
  have no or only some whole grains in their day. 
  So, having some popcorn is an easy way to add a serving of whole grains
  to your day.  Popcorn can be unhealthy
  when loaded with unhealthy fat, like movie popcorn.  Popcorn is cheap, less than 20 cents for 3-4
  cups popped.  And, until you add the
  butter, popcorn is low in calories, only 140 calories for a 3-4 cup serving of
  popcorn.  Since it is whole grain, it
  packs some good fiber and healthy nutrients into your day.  If you are buying microwave popcorn, read the
  label for the amount of fat and skip popcorn with palm oil.  Palm oil is not heart healthy.  If making popcorn at home, make it using
  sunflower, corn or canola oil, all heart-healthy oils.

Want to pack some good nutrition into your day but not break
the bank with expensive food?  Easy to do
with the above tips.  Boost your health
this week without busting your budget.
