Make a Healthy Dinner in a Snap

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.

Boxed organic soups
They taste fresh--almost as good as homemade--and obviously they're a million times easier to cook. Add a can of drained and rinsed beans to the soup and you have a fast, light meal. For a heartier dish, toss in frozen vegetables, too.
