Tips for Making Healthier Meals

  • Use fresh, whole ingredients – The fewer processed foods, the better! Fresh veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains will give you the best flavor and nutrition.
  • Boost flavor with herbs and spices – Instead of relying on excess salt or sugar, try fresh herbs, citrus, garlic, and spices to add depth to your meals.
  • Make smart swaps – Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, whole wheat pasta instead of white, or cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for a healthier twist.
  • Cook at home more often – Homemade meals let you control the ingredients, portion sizes, and cooking methods, so you can make them as healthy as you like!
