10 healthy tips!

Here are 10 ways to make meals healthier.. I got this out of a magazine and I wanted to share it with everyone. These are some great tips and if you need help with any of them let me know!


  1. Add veggies to premade spaghetti sauce - I do NOT recommend you use pasta sauce forma  can or jar but if you do ( because we all need to sometimes ) toss some chopped veggies in.
  2. Substitute brown rice for white rice. - Brown rice has a little taste difference but it is very good!
  3. Toss fresh spinach into a fruit smoothie. - when you stick everything in the blender stick some spinach in there and you will never taste it.
  4. Serve fruit for dessert. -  be careful which fruits because some of them have very high sugar counts.
  5. Eat a side of veggies with frozen meals. - this is easy, pop open a can and measure your serving!
  6. Use low-fat dairy products in recipes. - I use low fat milk all the time anyways. Makes things taste better.
  7. Drink water with meals. - you should be working toward making water your main drink already and this is a great place to start.
  8. Top baked potatoes with salsa instead of butter. - this adds flavor to the potato and there are many types of different salsa.
  9. Serve dinner on smaller plates.  - people always want to fill their plate so if you have a smaller plate there is less room to fill in. 
  10. Remove chicken skin after cooking. - Yes, we all enjoy the crispy skin but it is not good for us. Cook it for the flavor and then remove it. ^_^ 



These are some great tips that will help start and ease you into your diet!
