Healthy Substitutes For Your Favorite Foods

02.04.2011 / In Nutrition / by Alliance Staff

Eating healthy can be such a downer. No sugar, no fat, no this, no that. You might as well eat styrofoam for all the fun you're having. But here's a secret: Eating healthy doesn't need to be about refusing yourself. Try these tasty substitutes at home:
                   

Milk Chocolate   >>>   Dark Chocolate - Dark chocolate is a great source of antioxidants and doesn't raise choloesterol.

White Bread    >>>      Whole Grain Bread - Fiber in whole grains lowers insulin levels and bad cholesterol

Peanut Butter   >>>     Almond Butter - Almonds are alkaline, which means they have an electrical charge similar to our bodies. They provide long-lasting energy and help increase metabolism.

Candy    >>>    Dried Fruit - Still chewy and sweet, but full of fiber and antioxidants.       

French Fries   >>>     Roasted Sweet Potatoes - Brushed with olive oil and sea salt, sweet potatoes are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.                                               

Sugary Cereals   >>>   Steel Cut Oats - Full of fiber. Top with dried fruit and stay satisfied until lunch.                     

Soda  >>>    Sparkling Water with a Pomegranate Splash - Fizzy, slightly sweet and full of antioxidants.
