I am always on the lookout for healthy quick and easy snacks to eat in between meals. This week I am in love with these frozen microwavable edamame beans from Costco. I just poke a hole in the bag and pop in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes and serve on a plate with a dash of salt. A 1/2-cup serving of shelled edamame contains only 100 calories , with 3 g of unsaturated fat and 8 g of protein . It also provides 4 g of fiber and is a good source of calcium, copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, thiamin, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K. Edamame doesn't contain any cholesterol and has very little sodium. Great source of protein and will fill you up so you won't be left craving for something unhealthy on your next coffee break.
