25 Best New Foods for You
25 nutrition superstars that just hit your grocery store

Every year more than 10,000 new products squeeze their way onto already crowded supermarket shelves. Some promise to help you lose weight, others tout disease-fighting ingredients, most claim convenience, and all compete for your attention. To help you choose the best of the newest health foods, we combed the aisles, read the labels, tasted, and tested to find these — our top 25 favorites. Ladies, start your carts …

High-fiber bread, pasta, and cereal
Whole grains can help protect your heart and trim your waist, yet many women fall short of getting the recommended 22 to 25 g of fiber a day. These foods — loaded with at least 3 g per serving — get you well on your way.

8. Corazonas Tortilla Chips
Made with oats and fortified with cholesterol-lowering plant sterols, these trans-free chips are good for your heart and great for your tastebuds. Try the Original flavor with your favorite dip, or for a little kick, sample the Salsa Picante or Jalapeño Jack. Per serving: 140 cal, 7 g fat, up to 115 mg sodium.

New calcium boosters
Three servings of milk a day help build strong bones; these dairy-case products go further, keeping your gut healthy and waist trim, too.

16. LightFull Satiety Smoothie
The 5 to 6 g of fiber and 6 g of protein in this thick and tasty drink will keep you feeling fuller longer — and for so few calories. Available in four flavors. Per serving: up to 100 cal, up to 1 g fat, up to 240 mg sodium.
