Looking for ways to make your favorite foods healthier without sacrificing flavor?
These simple changes make healthy eating more sustainable over the long term.
1.Use NUT MILK instead of DAIRY MILK. Easier on the digestion, high in protein, and cholesterol free, you can make dairy-free milks at home with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, including oats, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almond, hemp and flax. All you need is a high-powered blender and sieve or cheesecloth.
2.Use Maple Syrup or COCONUT SUGAR instead of WHITE SUGAR or AGAVE. As natural sweeteners, Maple syrup and coconut sugar contain minerals like zinc, calcium, riboflavin, and magnesium, as well as a range of antioxidants. And because they contain less fructose than white sugar, your liver metabolizes it in a healthier way.
3.Use CAULIFLOWER RICE instead of REGULAR RICE
Cauliflower has 25 calories and 5g of carbs per cup vs. 218 calories and 46g carbs a cup of brown rice. Plus cauliflower is loaded with fiber, vitamins C, K and B6, and potassium.
4.Use HIMALAYAN SALT instead of TABLE SALT
Himalayan salt contains all the essential minerals vital for organ functioning that are stripped away from table salt.
5.Use CHICKPEAS instead of CROUTONS. Toast ‘em up and sprinkle ‘em on your salads. Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber, iron, zinc, phosphorus, B vitamins and more vs the refined carbohydrates croutons that are often high sodium.
6.Use BUCKWHEAT GROATS instead of OATMEAL. Buckwheat is a nutritious complex gluten-free alternative grain with tons of soluble fiber, B vitamins, and a nutty flavor. Because buckwheat groats are not a cereal grain, they do not have the liabilities of causing high cholesterol, sugar imbalances, or weight gain plus they can help you restore gut health.
7.Use SPIRALIZED VEGGIES instead of PASTA.
Deriving your carbohydrates from nutrient dense fruits and vegetables is a smart way to keep satiated and energized rather than filling up on the empty calories in processed carbs.
8.Use OLIVE OIL OR COCONUT OIL instead of VEGETABLE/CANOLA OIL.
virgin olive oil and coconut oil contain antioxidants, polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids with can promote cardiovascular health and cognitive function as well as boosting your immune system. Canola oil on the other hand is a refined manufactured oil that is mostly all genetically modified.
