Healthy Alterations: #fixthedish

• Use vegetables from a local farmer's market or fresh vegetables from your supermarket
• They are fresher and contain more nutrients than canned vegetables
• Use whole grain noodles or brown rice noodles
• Always try to hint in servings of whole grains when you can, white flour has almost no nutrients and is just a bunch of calories
• Try without dressing, or little dressing if you can
• the BBQ sauce contains so much flavor already

 Spinach Salad

On the lighter side:

Spinach leaves

Red Pepper

Cucumber

Tomatoes

- Instructions -

Wash and cut vegatbles

Toss together

Serve w/ Vinaigrette Dressing (optional)

*Fruit, Vegetables*

3 Good choices:

• Including a variety of vegetables is always a good thing to help nourish your body and allow your body exposure to different vitamins
• Using spinach as a substitution for lettuce is very healthy and contains an abundance of nutrients
• Including a fruit in a salad such as a pepper or a tomatoes because it gives you servings of fruit and vegetables in your meal. Fruits contain natural sugars to fuel your body and keep you alert instead of grabbing for that cookie when you're tired

Just like everyone else, I am trying to improve my eating habits and make better choices as I go. It is okay to throw a dressing on a salad if it makes you happy, but I like to try something lighter than ranch, perhaps a honey mustard dressing is a good alternative. I also am the kind of person to grab that cookie when I'm tired too, but I want to change it. I want my body to enjoy natural sugar instead of processed sugar, so I advise anyone like me to try and keep an apple or a banana around for a snack if you need it. We can't be healthy all the time, but we can afford a fair switch here and there.
