A lot of times the latest food trend comes from research and there's research showing that the potato can actually be a part of your New Year's Diet. Recent research in Journal of the American College of Nutrition demonstrates that people can eat potatoes and still lose weight.

So you can think of the potato as
the little black dress of your diet that packs some great nutrition. One
medium-size skin-on potato contains just 110 calories per serving, boasts more
potassium than a banana, provides almost half the daily value of vitamin C, and
contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol. This recipe for Roasted Potato Fries
with Avocado Aioli has just 134 calories per serving and 5 grams of fat.
This potato recipe features a hot
trend for 2015: Potato Proscuitto Waffles are an example of the savory waffle
trend. Watch out for waffle sandwiches
also. http://www.potatogoodness.com/recipes/potato-prosciutto-waffles/
Other trends include fermented foods.
You’ll be seeing lots of these products in
the spotlight at your supermarket and restaurants as well. Yogurt, kefir, miso, sauerkraut, bean paste and kimchi
are just a few examples. Some of these
products will still contain healthful probiotics, but not all. Also, watch the sodium content as these foods
are notorious for high levels of sodium.
Pistachios are touted to be the nut
of 2015 and that is something that I’m ahead of the curve with.
In my kitchen, you’ll always find my
pistachio bowl on the counter ready for anyone craving some savory crunch. It’s one of my favorite ways to get in some
heart healthy omega-3s, fiber and protein.
One last trend is same-day grocery
delivery service. This has been around for a while but this year it is set to really take off all across the country instead of isolated areas. Watch for a variety of online retailers to be expanding their delivery
radius. The main health benefit is fresher food
to homebound or time-stressed people allowing them to enjoy healthier,
home-cooked meals.
