Healthy Alterations: #fixthedish

• Use 2 egg whites instead of  1 whole egg
• Egg whites contain fewer calories than the whole egg
• Use organic sugar vs. Cane Sugar
• Organic Sugar is not processed like cane sugar, and organic sugar contains natural nutrients for the body. It is the healthiest way for your body to process sugar except for fruit, and it is better for your metabolism.
• Use skim milk to cut calories
• Use organic hot dogs made from natural cuts of meat for leaner, healthier protein
• Use whole grain flour to ensure your body servings of whole grain
• Bleached flour has nutrients removed from it and added chemicals

3 Good Choices

• Use of organic ingredients
• Organic sugars aren't processed to be white cane sugar. You can also use a natural sweetener, such as agave nectar or honey.  Organic eggs, bananas and blueberries are more beneficial as well because they are used with less pesticides. 
• Homemade muffins are great!
• And might I say rewardingly delicious and nutritious as well? The packaged muffins you can buy from stores are very processed and have many preservatives in them to extend shelf life and maintain freshness. They are just cupcakes in disguise with no frosting!     
• Whole wheat flour
• Whole wheat flour has its original fiber that processed white flour doesn't contain

Often, muffins that you buy from the store off a shelf are incredibly unhealthy.  We are under the impression that muffins aren't bad for us, however that is incorrect. Packaged muffin mixes are not any better.   Homemade muffins, on the other hand, are much better for you.  And why not get creative when making your own muffins, such as Corndog Muffins!
