Packaged Foods That Are Surprisingly Healthy

1.Cheese is an excellent way to take in a serving of dairy, but if you’re going to pick up slices, I recommend natural cheeses like Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella. Not only are they tastier and less processed, they’re also well priced

2. Canned Beans in BPA-free containers with no-salt added. You’re left with the goodness of beans brimming with fiber, protein, iron, calcium, and folate all ready to eat in minutes.

3. Jerky is a tasty snack, low in calories and high in protein. Look for brands that don’t contain nitrates and artificial

flavors and are made using lean cuts of domestic meat.

4. Not all peanut butters are created equal. Many have added oils and salt and/or sugars, but not most natural peanut butters. Look for only one ingredient listed on the label: peanuts. A two ta-blespoon portion will give you a healthy dose of energy-boosting niacin and antioxidants like vitamin E and resveratrol, which you can also find in red wine.

5. Stock up on frozen fruit when fresh is out of season, or when you just can’t get to the market. Studies have found that fruit that is flash frozen at peak ripeness to maintain their nutritional goodness. Choose frozen fruit that doesn't have added sugar (check the ingredient list).
