Simple Swaps for Better Nutrition
As Spring is approaching (slowly, in Ohio, that is for sure), I am getting thoughts on ways to shed those excess winter pounds and reincorporate healthier options into my family diet. Here are a few delectable items that we are incorporating and my family loves!
TEA vs. SODA
Working at a desk most of the day can be taxing on my body. That is why I am swapping out my afternoon soda fix with a wellness tea from Teasäne! Founded with “self-health,” in mind, Teasäne offers a variety of functional teas, from heart health and digestion to energy boosting and more, aimed to enhance consumers overall lifestyles. In addition to being natural, Teasäne’s products also contain no additives, sweeteners, artificial colors, or flavorings.
BEAN PASTA vs. WHITE PASTA
Put a healthy twist on a typically glutinous pasta meal with products from Explore Cuisine! Explore Cuisine offers pastas made from organic beans, lentils, and peas. Jam packed with protein, iron, and fiber, Explore Cuisine pastas are all certified-gluten free, vegan, and kosher, taking the guilt out of your favorite pasta dishes!
PROTEIN COOKIE vs. SUGAR COOKIE
Forget sugar cookies! With 18G of plant-protein per cookie, Munk Pack Protein Cookies are a delicious protein bar alternative with flavors like Double Dark Chocolate, Coconut White Chip Macadamia, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin Spice. These vegan and gluten free cookies are soft baked and filled with fiber.
Swapping is simple, and you aren’t sacrificing taste for benefits with these items. Our personal favorite is the Explore Cuisine pastas. The taste is much tastier than traditional pasta and fills you up with each plateful.
These items are available in retailers nationwide and available online for delivery to your door. Leave a comment below telling us some ways that you swap out sugar and sweets with healthier options.
