We’ve Spilled the Beans!
Below are our go-to fool-proof secrets to flying through a fast day with the greatest of ease!
- As nice as rice, but twice as tasty! Cauliflower and konjac rice are easy alternatives that are quick to make and round out any saucy dish without the extra calories.
- Sea food? Eat it! Fish and shellfish are super good for you and high in happy fats like Omega3. Grilled, poached, barbequed or fresh sashimi style, seafood can be prepared many different tasty ways.
- I’ll have salad with that! Swap hot chips or crisps for a salad side. It doesn’t have to be boring; add avocado, white balsamic or mix it up with a fruit salad. You’ll feel better for it!
- Veg out. Make your recipes go further and make your tummy fuller with veggies. They’re low in calories, cheaper than chips, packed with healthy goodies and taste delish on their own or spiced up with seasoning.
- H2 Wow! Water doesn’t have to be boring, zhuzh it up with citrus splashes, frozen fruit or bubbles. Drinking lots of water has more health benefits than you can imagine, so drink up!
- Instead of bread try sweet potato toasties, avocado buns, cauliflower toast and flaxseed wraps to make your sandwich SFD-friendly.
- Cucumber sandwiches 2.0. No, not the ones your nanna serves at bridge, swap bread for scooped out cucumbers and fill them with your fave fillings – yes, it’s a thing!
- Stuff it! Capsicum that is! Or mushrooms, sweet potatoes, gourds or zucchinis. Load up your veggie vessel with more stacks more veggies, spice and herbs. Makes a super filling meal out of very few calories.
- Hold the buns! Portobello mushrooms, roasted sweet potato slices, lettuce wraps and mountain bread make it easy to bite into a juicy burger while avoiding the carb-o-load that comes with it. More filling, less fluff!
- No carb pizza – Mama Mia! Cauliflower pizza crusts make success succulento! Pile on the super toppings including stacks of veggies, lean grilled proteins and deliciously rich balsamic vinaigrette!
