My family enjoyed these new salt-free seasonings from Newman's Own so I am now sending them to my clients via Amazon.com to try.

I often send dietitian written cookbooks, meal planning and/or grocery shopping tear pads, food diary books, and other nutrition and meal planning tools to my clients.

These seasonings will be fun for my clients to try since I am always talking about avoiding adding salt and high sodium seasoning blends to food.

Mail call! Coupons from Banza

I already recommend Banza pasta made from chickpeas to my clients on a regular basis. Banza pasta offers 50% more protein, 3 times the fiber, and 25% fewer net carbs than traditional pasta. And most importantly, people like it.

I always tell my clients that I only recommend foods that most people like. It doesn't work to try to eat things you don't like.

Banza wants people to eat more chickpeas and other beans, good for you and the planet.

Pasta. Pizza. Mac 'n' Cheese. Rice. Protein waffles. All your favorite comfort foods, now graced with the power of the mighty chickpea.

Since most of the people that I work with live with pre-diabetes or diabetes, these products are helpful due to their higher protein and fiber content. They also make people feel fuller which can help for those working on weight management.

Thank you Banza for sending coupons that I can share with my clients. RDN's if you have not received coupons, reach out to Banza
