Some tricks we use to increase the health factor include:

- Adding flax oil. An easy ingredient to up the fiber in a dish without changing the flavor.

- If you want to bump the protein and fiber, add chia seeds.

- There are lots of protein powders out there you can add to meals to increase protein content. Pea protein is a great option.

- Switching from rice to quinoa is a good way to increase the dish's nutrition.

- A well spiced dish doesn't need as much salt or fat. In the international section of Jungle Jim's you can get large containers of spices for a fraction of the cost of most grocers. Make a trip once a year and stock up.
