Over 100 Quick and Easy Healthy Foods

Michael Savoy says on July 13th, 2005 at 4:34 am

I don’t know where anyone gets the idea that bagels are
considered healthy or part of a healthy diet. Bagels are very high in calories, even without the high fat slop of cream cheese that most bagels come slathered with, just
one accourtrement of a vast array of basically high fat, high calorie, high-glycemic junk food time-bombs.

Futhermore, most bagels, except for whole wheat, are made from highly processed flour, sugar, the fiber / nutrients stripped away in the process, making them a very high-glycemic food. World health authorities are predicted disaster for the next generation that they say,
will dwarf today’s AIDS epidemic, because of the
exponential rise of a whole host of diabetes-related diseases caused by Diabetes II, self-induced diabetes,
brought on by eating the highly processed foods that
are already creating plague-like numbers of teens afflicted wit hself-induced diabetes, weaned on a diet of snacks, fast food and sugary drinks and of course, bagels.

The scourge of fast food that accompanies globalization as it makes inroads in the world is predicted to increase
pressure on the already over-burdened health related economic costs of these newly developing countries.

Highly processed foods, like fast food in general are by its very nature, highly glycemic and is pure junk food, highly processed foods like bagels/fast food, sugar, that are already wreaking havoc but has only just begun.

Great article! Thanks for all the links

Michael,
Hi, I thought you might be interested to know that the bagels mentioned in the first recipie are indeed whole wheat bagels, and that they don’t recommend cream cheese.

Wow. Great List. I think with healthy foods there are two things that people have to get over. First is the idea that you miss out on flavor. Done right it’s easy to make healthy and flavorful food. Second is the idea that cooking (or food preperation) equals toil. Too many people spend as much time waiting in line at their local fast food restaurant or sit in a booth at some chain waiting on food than if they had just prepared the meal themselves. Plus just think about the cost versus home prepared food.

My wife has gotten in the habbit lately of fixing two or three meals at a time. While you’re heating the kitchen up or dirtying up the dishes you might as well make it worth while. Fix some fish and green beans or asparagus and freeze it for later. Make extra portions for lunch the next day, etc.

Michael - breathe man, breathe. Everything in moderation, INCLUDING MODERATION.

I’ve been on a hummus kick lately. I usually use Haig’s spicy hummus (only available in the bay area, CA I think)

Try these:

Toasted whole wheat tortilla with hummus
Indian Naan Flatbread with hummus
Hummus wrap:
Whole wheat tortilla
Hummus
Avocado slices
Onion sprouts
Luncheon meat
Green Onion
cucumber
red bell pepper
tomato
Lettuce

Jen says on March 4th, 2006 at 12:58 pm

I have to agree that healthy food is so good and full of flavor. I’m only 19, so you can just imagine the amount of junk food and soda I’ve been on for practically all my life. Recently I got this back pain, nothing serious was the response of my doctor. However, though it wasn’t serious, come to think of it, it scared me to think that I was starting to feel pains that old people get. Could be my kidneys I thought. I quickly changed the junk food for healthy foods, and I’ve never felt so free and healthy. I eat fruits,yummy chicken thats healthy,and I drink water water water. Though I’m skinney,my face feels smooth,my back pain went away, and my stomach does not growl like it use to. I really made a life changing choice. “You are what you eat, what you eat today is the outcome of your future results.”

This rocks. As a person who thrives on efficiency, I love concept of a quick healthy meal. Also, when you have NO time with kids, work etc.it’s a great solution when you want to feed your family nutritious food and not settle for take-out which is usually expensive and disappointing.

Holistic Medicina says on January 14th, 2007 at 4:58 pm

Although he may not have said things in a way which everyone can appreciate (lol) Mr. Mike Savoy hit the nail on the head. I will be placing into my holisticmedicina.com newsletter info about the recent decision by the FDA to allow unmarked cloned animals into the American food supply (Cows, Pigs). This on top of recently allowing virus sprayed foods, super radiated foods (10,000 times the radiation of a chest X-RAY - and radiation can lead to cancer) and all the other tricks brilliant Americans have used to fool Mother nature. As a Native American I will assure you, you have only fooled yourself.

If you follow health trends in the USA at all, you are well aware that this nation is indeed on a collision course with disaster. This is not just something that suddenly happened. This has been a long time coming. Bad farming practices, greed, and laziness are a bad combination.

Diabetes is growing into an epidemic in this country. The thigns that we have processed and stripped out of the food (to increase shelf life/ profits) were placed there by God to slow digestion - slowing the rate at which sugar is dumped into the bloodstream). Add to this growing epidemic the way our families are also breaking down and you have the recipe for run-away diabetes, neurological disorders, obesity, cancers (especially breast for women and prostate for men) and a real social problem. Natural medicines can help some, for sure, but we must begin with greater awareness of the problem.

Worrying about AIDS, Hurricanes and stuff won’t help when you are doing nothing but stuffing your pie-hole full of twinkies (smile).

And whomever said “moderation”, hey, sounds good, but that’s just the problem - as Savoy pointed it we’re NOT moderating as a country, we’re letting the Hellivision (television) define what we should buy, and buying it hook line and sinker. And being sunk.
Wake Up People.

Great recipe list, and very well organized. I will be trying the Ginger-yogurt over fruit breakfast this week!

this site is not what I’m looking for.
could u please suggest a site that gives u some ideas that would be healthy and yummy to make.

Tara says on January 25th, 2007 at 3:12 pm

Are you kidding me? The top of this page says, and I quote ” Over 100 Quick AND Healthy Foods”

What happened to the “AND HEALTHY???”

Sure, these recipes may be yummy, but when you have ONE POUND of Cream Cheese, of course it is going to taste great, but HEALTHY????? COME ON!!!

Thanks for wasting mine and others’ time, and I feel sorry for those who are trying to eat healthy and don’t realize that they are NOT in fact getting healthy recipes from the false advertisement at the top of your page!

Keep up the GREAT work!

Aimee says on February 2nd, 2007 at 2:55 pm

Okay… it just so happened that the first recipe I looked at was Poor Man’s Biscuits and Gravy. Now, I hate to say this, but bacon is not a healthy food, and a pound of bacon plus all its drippings in your gravy is a heart attack waiting the happen.

Excellent recepies! Wow! Great collection.

Dear Editor: Following are the latest links from our news website ISRAEL21c - http://www.israel21c.org. Feel free to link to these items and quote up to 2 paragraphs. if you’d like a photo, please let me know.

An Israeli energy bar just like Grandma used to make

Unlike most aspiring Israeli thespians, Yoav Almazag thanks his lucky stars every day that his acting career didn’t pan out. After all, if it had, he wouldn’t be poised to turn his grandmother’s recipe into an energy bar that promises to sweep the US and Europe and hopefully turn into a staple at health food stores, health clubs and supermarkets around the globe.

With final negotiations close to completion, Almazag’s got a date with success: a US food chain is about to sign on to carry his Hatifei Energia (Energy Treats), and European importers are also showing interest. Soon sportspeople and others looking for natural energy while exercising will be stocking up on Almazog’s date-based treats.

I’m with the hummus. It’s not only nutritious (http://humus101.com/EN/2007/03/16/is-hummus-good-for-your-diet/)
but also makes me smile (http://humus101.com/EN/2007/03/03/hummus-instead-of-prozac/).
