Boost your Nachos!

Too many people think nachos are off the radar- no meal is off the radar, and if it is, check who you’re listening to. Any meal can be made with more or less nutrient value- and choosing any one of these things below can add nutrients to a family favourite. Here are my tips for top tips for nachos.

• Add grated veg. Chopped is fine too, but grated cooks super fast. Carrot, zucchini and broccoli stalks are all favourites for us.

• Add a tin or two of beans/lentils (or use these as your base, instead of meat, if you like). They are inexpensive and add dietary fibre and protein. Super simple to have on hand to bulk up meals should you have extra mouths to feed, or want to have enough for leftovers.

• Natural unsweetened yoghurt can be used instead of sour-cream to add calcium.

• Plain corn chips really just let you taste the rest of your meal and not a whole lot of extra salt!

• Frozen corn- again, inexpensive and lots of fibre.

• Avocado- monounsaturated fats and creamy deliciousness.
