Tips on Choosing Healthy Carbs
- Work whole grains such as barley, oats, wheat berries, or farro into your diet. They’re low in fat and contain vitamins, minerals, and all-important fiber. Swap out the white bread and pasta.
- Legumes are packed with protein and complex carbohydrates! Organic edamame, cooked in the pod and served with a scattering of flaky sea salt or a dipping sauce, are easy to love, and just one-half cup has 12 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber—not to mention 11 grams of protein.
- Last but not least, vegetables and fruits are a terrific source of quality carbs. Those especially high in fiber include broccoli, spinach and other greens, berries, melons, citrus fruits, bananas, pears, and apples.
