Be Healthy  – SWAPSYS

Breakfast Swap:

Whether you are lactose intolerant, cutting out milk for the short or long term can have great health benefits. But if you are finding it tough to cut out milk being a morning cereal type, go for Almond milk, the unsweetened kind.  A natural source of healthy proteins and low in calories and fat this makes for a great swap.

Lunch Swap:

Fries go well with your lunchtime sandwich right? Wrong, loaded in saturated fats these yummy greasy harmful friend potatoes are going to make you feel sluggish and heavy.  Opt for sweet potato fries, can easily make at home: slice potato, cover with olive oil, seasoning and dried parsley with a splash of honey to bring out the natural sweetness and oven back for a healthy alternative.

Dinner Swap:

Quinoa instead of rice. You can replace any dish that has rice with quinoa for a filling, high protein grain instead.  Boil up in water or add a vegan stock cube for some extra favor.

 

Dessert Swap:

Got a sweet tooth for ice cream.. me too! Make a healthy version using fat-free Greek yogurt, and mix with a little agave and teaspoon of natural peanut butter. Slice banana and/or throw a handful of berries over the mixture and sprinkle with cocoa nibs. The combination of healthy carbs proteins and natural sugars will hit your sweet craving with no post sugar crash.
