Add vegetarian meat substitutes (like tempeh or tofu) to soups and stews to boost protein without adding saturated fat or cholesterol.

Select vegetables with more potassium, such as sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce, and juice).

Make sure you buy enough fresh, canned, frozen, and/or dried fruit to last between shopping trips.

When making home-made desserts–experiment. Replace half of the white flour with whole-grain flour, or look for whole grain recipes online.
