No-Fuss Meals in Minutes

Tuna packed in water.In the can or in the pouch, it's a versatile lowfat source of protein. Flake it over pasta and mix with olives, parsley, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil to make a simple, satisfying dinner. Or for a healthy twist on tuna salad, toss with a little olive oil and lemon juice, minced Granny Smith apple, and a pinch of curry powder.

Canned beans.Keep an assortment of low-sodium organic varieties-black, pinto, chickpeas, kidney, and navy-on hand. Drain and rinse, then add to soup, pasta, green salad, brown rice, quinoa, or couscous. You can also make a quick bean salad by combining one can of beans with chopped peppers (any kind), celery, and a splash of Italian dressing.
