Simple Swaps to Make Your Favorite Meals Healthier
Hey, Aurora Central CrossFit community! We’re all about staying fit and feeling great, right? But let’s face it, we love our favorite meals too. Well, the great news is that you can enjoy your yummy favorites without feeling guilty! Here are some super easy swaps that can make your favorite meals healthier:
White Rice to Brown Rice or Quinoa
First things first, change your white rice to brown rice or quinoa. They contain more fiber and keep you fuller for longer. Plus, they’ve got lots of other fun health benefits too!
Regular Pasta to Whole Wheat
Love pasta? Make it whole wheat! It has more fiber and nutrients than regular pasta. It’s a small swap that makes a big difference.
Red Meat to Lean Meat or Seafood
Red meat can be high in saturated fat. Try swapping it for lean meats like chicken or turkey. Or better yet, go for fish! Seafood is full of healthy omega-3 fats.
Frying to Grilling, Baking, or Steaming
Who doesn’t love fried foods? But did you know that grilling, baking, or steaming your food can also make it tasty–and a lot healthier? Give it a try!
Mayonnaise to Avocado or Greek Yogurt
Instead of mayo, use mashed avocado or Greek yogurt. You’ll get the creaminess, but with a lot less calories and more nutrients.
