Ellie Krieger says there are three things you need to know about eating well when there’s little time to prepare foods.

Have foods with a longer shelf life, foods you can easily grab and go and prepare foods ahead of time.

In this video, Krieger substitutes chips and dip for pita chips with protein rich edamame spread for a quick, healthy and delicious snack.

Dipping pita chips in an olive oil mixture with cumin, cayenne pepper and garlic give them a kick, which can be compensated by dipping them in a cool dip made with tofu and edamame.

“These are both different kinds of soy,” Krieger says about the tofu and edamame. “Which is kind of neat because soy has been shown to reduce cholesterol.”

All you need for making your own spicy pita chips and edamame hummus is to watch this video.

Enjoy!

Like Vegetarian Star suggested when Jamie Oliver‘s kids couldn’t recognize a tomato, Ellie Krieger recommends emphasizes adding colors to the plate to get kids to eat more fruits and vegetables.

While promoting produce with Michelle Obama at the White House, “I got kids to try every color of the rainbow. I like making it about color instead of telling children to eat vegetables,” she told Express Night Out.

The Food Network Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger chef and registered dietitian testified at Congress recently about hunger and obesity and the $1 organic apple dilemma.

“I bought an organic apple the other day and it was almost $1. If I were really hungry, I might be buying that $1 meal instead,” Krieger said.

Like the $1 value meal and Fast Food Giant X consisting of a factory farmed produced meat patty?

Krieger, who says she’d be happy if “everyone cooked with whole grains, and lots of fruits and vegetables,” demonstrates her vegetable marketing techniques on her own 7 year old daughter and they frequently make  trips to the farmers market.
