One of the biggest new trends in nutrition is plant-based protein. This is protein from plants like peas, lentils, beans, chia seeds and almonds. Plant-based protein tends to be lower in calories and fats, while higher in fiber and other nutrients, making it a healthy option for the family.

A very active category is dairy-free products, such as dairy-free cheese and yogurt. Daiya is a great example of this. They have a Greek Yogurt Alternative that is dairy, gluten, and soy free. Bursting with real fruit pieces, Daiya Greek Yogurt Alternative is rich and creamy in texture, delicious and made from coconut cream. Each cup contains 6 to 9 grams of plant-based protein – it’s great if you’re lactose intolerant, vegan, or just looking to eat healthier in general.

While nutrition and diet are inexorably linked, it’s more important to cultivate a healthy lifestyle rather than jumping from diet to diet. Many people who are overweight have tried multiple different diets which haven’t worked. We have to remember that being overweight comes with consequences, such as a higher risk for heart disease and diabetes. Changing to a more vegetable and fruit-based diet with plant proteins, grains, and lower fats can be very helpful.

Even your drink choices count! An easy tip to remember is stay away from junk food’s empty calories and eat whole foods with lots of nutrients. Sunsweet Amaz!n Prune Juice is a great example of the type of nutritious beverage you should be seeking out. It’s 100% juice, a good source of fiber (with 3 grams per serving), and contains 5 essential vitamins and minerals. Made from Sunsweet Prunes, the juice is also beneficial for your digestive health, the foundation for good overall health. Sunsweet Amaz!n Prune Juice is a delicious addition to your everyday healthy routine.
