Healthy Eating Tip: Steam It


Updated 03/08/08 4:39 PM · Posted by FitSugar · 9 comments

Not only does steaming have both a short cooking and preparation time, but you also get cooked veggies without using a drop of butter or oil. What's more? Unlike boiling veggies where the nutrients seep into the water that you eventually dump out, steaming them allows them to retain most of their nutrients since the food never actually touches the water. Add some spices and a splash of citrus and you've got yourself a tasty side. Me? I always steam broccoli and squeeze some fresh lemon juice over it.
