- Healthy Substitutions
Many times, we consume unhealthy fats, sugar, and sodium, from our prepared dinner and baked goods. We often feel there's no alternative for our ingredients. The reality is, that there are many healthy alternative ingredient options for us, such as substituting:
Plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
Brown rice instead of white rice
Coconut or avocado oil instead of vegetable oil and butter
Coconut flour instead of regular flour
Egg whites instead of whole eggs
Frozen yogurt instead of ice cream
& the list goes on! There are many ways we can still cook the things we love while leading a healthier lifestyle!
