Healthy Food Options That Can Make a Big Difference
Sometimes there is confusion on healthy food options. Carolyn believes that people must learn what really is healthy. One medium-size potato has only 110 calories and no fat, cholesterol, sodium and is naturally gluten-free. They are a good source of important nutrients like potassium and vitamin C. In fact, one potato has more potassium than a banana, and that can make a big difference in what people eat. Be sure to buy genuine Idaho Potatoes. Look for the "Grown in Idaho" seal on the bag. This Latin Idaho Potato Power Bowl is made with delicious fresh ingredients including healthy Idaho Potatoes! For more information, visit idahopotato.com.
