Eating healthy can cost more and with the recession we are all facing we need to find a way to get the healthiest foods for less.

Researchers from the University of Washington have been analyzing the foods that will give the most nutrition for the price per portion. Here are some of the foods from their list:

Lower-fat milk; low-fat yogurt; cheddar, American or mozzarella cheese
Lean ground beef; chicken (not deep-fried); canned fish
Whole eggs
Beans, dry or canned
Peanut butter; sunflower seeds; almonds
Bread, enriched or made with whole wheat; tortillas, corn or wheat; rice
Bananas; apples; frozen orange juice concentrate; 100 percent fruit juice or fruit-vegetable blends
Potatoes, with or without skins; iceberg lettuce; canned, not creamed, corn; canned tomatoes

These foods can be a part of a healthy diet. If you are working on weight loss by creating low-fat recipes with these ingredients you can reach your goals. I will have recipes for you in the next few days that incorporate these nutrient dense-low cost foods.
