Here are some more quick and simple “smart swaps”…
Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles)
Spiralize zucchini into noodle-like shapes to replace traditional pasta. Zoodles are a great way to increase vegetable intake while reducing overall calorie and carbohydrate content.
Quinoa
Opt for quinoa instead of white rice or other grains. Quinoa is a complete protein, rich in fiber and various nutrients, making it a more nutritionally dense choice.
Whole Wheat Flour
When baking, choose whole wheat flour over refined all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour retains more nutrients and fiber, contributing to a healthier final product.
