Katherine Brooking, M.S., R.D., registered dietitian

I had a chance to interview Katherine over the phone (it was so exciting to have the chance to interview her!!!) and we had a nice little chat about nutrition.

Here are a few things I learned~

The new food guidelines are out (they are updated every 5 yrs, I didn’t know that!) and they have suggested that we double the amount of veggies in our diets. Katherine said one of the easiest ways she has found to do this is to just double the amount called for in a recipe! What a great way to make casseroles, soups and even quiches healthier!

Katherine said that in her travels she has found that other countries have some great ideas on cooking and preparing vegetables. She suggested branching out and preparing them in a different way~roasting them with a little olive oil and sea salt is super easy and healthy.

Yoplait can help meet our calcium and vitamin D needs with 50% more than any other yogurt! With so many flavors of yogurt, Yoplait has us covered.

Yoplait sent me some of their Original Yogurt to review. Yogurt has always been a favorite snack of mine and Yoplait is my favorite brand! It is so nice to know that I am getting even more calcium when I eat Yoplait. Yoplait has so many great flavors to choose from, what is your favorite flavor?
