Junk Food Makeover - Healthy Changes to Your Favorite Unhealthy Dishes
Burger and Fries The Burger and Fries combo has always been an American favorite.
However, the American burger can pack on some pretty hefty pounds here is an alternative to this American Classic.
Turkey Burger and Baked Sweet Potato Fries.
Now I know this doesn't sound as appetizing as the original, but you can make it taste amazing.
Instead of putting your meat between two white bread buns, why not use some fiber packed 100% Whole grain bread.
The amount of fiber that this bread contains is ridiculous not to mention all of the other nutrients it contains.
Along with the 100% whole grain bread, add as many vegetables as you can into that burger.
Things like peppers, cucumbers, mushrooms, and even carrots can make that burger even more delicious.
Sweet Potatoes are a great alternative to traditional fries especially when you bake them and sprinkled them with a few different seasonings.
The first step to great health is opening your mind to new ideas! Chocolate Chip Cookies Chocolate Chip Cookies have always been one of my favorites.
However, my weight hasn't been a big fan of them.
This alternative is delicious and easy to make.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Dark Chocolate I have made this recipe numerous amounts of times and every time it just melts in my mouth.
You make these cookies just like you would make any oatmeal raisin cookie except you substitute the milk with an alternative and you add dark chocolate chips to them.
They are super easy to make, have more nutrients then the traditional chocolate chip cookie.
If you want to make it even more healthy try using an alternative to white flour.
Candy For those of you who have a sweet tooth why not try sprinkling Splenda over a bowl of fresh fruit to help that little craving.
It's a lot better than those unhealthy sugar packed candies.
Ice Cream Instead of devouring that teaser sized container of Ben and Jerry's, get some plain vanilla ice cream and top it with nuts and fruits.
This is way better for you and is delicious.
If you want to indulge a bit more, sprinkle it with some dark chocolate chunks.
Chips Have a chip craving? You could make your own chips or buy Cape Cod chips as a healthy alternative.
They're not the healthiest thing in the world, but they have less calories in fat.
Sometimes you need to indulge a little.
