Healthy Pantry Staples Checklist

It’s easy to put together a quick, well-balanced meal when your pantry is stocked with a few healthy staples.

• Extra virgin olive oil. Aromatic olive oil is high in healthy monounsaturated fat and antioxidants. Extra virgin olive oil maintains many nutrients and has a stronger flavor because it’s processed without high heat, bleach or chemicals.
• Vinegar. A small amount of vinegar can add significant flavor to a variety of dishes with very few calories and little to no fat.
• Canned tuna. Canned tuna is convenient, inexpensive, and healthy—it’s high in protein and vitamin D and can be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Look for tuna packaged in water to avoid extra calories and fat.
