There can be various reasons as to why families may not always be able to make healthier meals. This can be due to time, money, accessibility, and more. Lots of the time families want to have healthier meals but either can’t afford it or just live too busy lives for them. There are great substitution foods for meals that can make the meal even healthier, while still taking the same amount of time. For those that love burgers, a good substitution is a turkey burger. Turkey burgers provide a cleaner source of protein that’s healthier than beef. Another great substitution for pasta would be using zucchini noodles instead of regular pasta noodles. Zoodles are low carb, calorie, and fat, and are high in hydration and overall very good for you. I have found that cauliflower can be a great substitute for many foods including mashed potatoes, rice, and pizza crust. I have tried all three of these foods, replacing them with cauliflower and I loved them all. I have found all of these foods to taste the same and are super delicious, just with more benefits from the cauliflower. Cauliflower is high in fiber, low card, full of nutrients, and a good source of antioxidants. There are so many great ways to easily replace some unhealthy food and still have it taste delicious.
Very interesting and informative, but i won’t be doing that anytime soon LOL.
Hello,
I think it is great that there are so many healthy alternatives to popular foods. I don’t think I had ever heard of zucchini noodles before, but they sound really good.
I do enjoy finding healthier substitutes for foods that I already enjoy. It can be hard to branch away from easy, and enjoyable foods you know you like, but finding substitutions instead of eliminating is a great idea! I already enjoy cauliflower, but forget of all of the different uses it can serve. I will have to work it into my diet more!
