...helping us stay fit and healthy...

HealthMarketIndulge Healthfully this HolidayTo make sure your holiday dish to pass is a healthy option, consider these cooking substitutions:Almond flour for wheat flour: This gluten-free switch provides any baked good an extra dose of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, along with a great nutty flavor. Use 1:1 for regular flour, but you may need an extra egg as a binding agent.

Applesauce for sugar: By substituting one cup of sugar with one cup of applesauce, you can cut more than 500 calories from the recipe while keeping the sweetness. Mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes: Mashed cauliflower has only a fraction of the calories of potatoes and it is nearly impossible to taste the difference. If you don’t like the idea of no potatoes, try using half potatoes and half cauliflower in your next batch of mashed potatoes. Greek yogurt for sour cream: Greek yogurt has half the fat and calories, an an extra dose of lean protein, yet the taste and texture are almost identical. Substitute anywhere you’d use sour cream such as baked potatoes, mashed potatoes and dips. Homemade salad dressing for bottled dressing: By making dressing from home, it is easy to cut out the added sugar, sodium and preservatives typically found in pre-made dressings. Try this: mix oil and vinegar or lemon juice in a 3:1 ratio and flavor with herbs and spices such as rosemary, thyme, oregano and pepper. The information is not intended as medical advice. Please consult a medical professional for individual advice.

...helping us stay fit and healthy...

HealthMarketIndulge Healthfully this HolidayTo make sure your holiday dish to pass is a healthy option, consider these cooking substitutions:Almond flour for wheat flour: This gluten-free switch provides any baked good an extra dose of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, along with a great nutty flavor. Use 1:1 for regular flour, but you may need an extra egg as a binding agent.

Applesauce for sugar: By substituting one cup of sugar with one cup of applesauce, you can cut more than 500 calories from the recipe while keeping the sweetness. Mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes: Mashed cauliflower has only a fraction of the calories of potatoes and it is nearly impossible to taste the difference. If you don’t like the idea of no potatoes, try using half potatoes and half cauliflower in your next batch of mashed potatoes. Greek yogurt for sour cream: Greek yogurt has half the fat and calories, an an extra dose of lean protein, yet the taste and texture are almost identical. Substitute anywhere you’d use sour cream such as baked potatoes, mashed potatoes and dips. Homemade salad dressing for bottled dressing: By making dressing from home, it is easy to cut out the added sugar, sodium and preservatives typically found in pre-made dressings. Try this: mix oil and vinegar or lemon juice in a 3:1 ratio and flavor with herbs and spices such as rosemary, thyme, oregano and pepper. The information is not intended as medical advice. Please consult a medical professional for individual advice.
