1. Use fresh herbs in your diet
Fresh herbs like basil, mint, oregano and sage flavor your food without adding any chemicals. To make your fresh herbs last for a long time, simply remove the leaves from the stems and place them into an air-tight glass jar, and store in the fridge. Just make sure that the herbs are absolutely dry.
2. Freeze ripe bananas to make amazing smoothies and ice-creams.
Simply peel some very ripe bananas, put them into a zip-lock bag or a container, and freeze at least overnight. Then add to your smoothies instead of regular bananas.
3. Make your own dressings and dips, and store them in a glass jar
4. Always have healthy food on site.
You'll eat what's available. If you have healthy snacks handy, you'll eat them when you’re hungry, and there's less chance that you will eat something unhealthy. When you get very hungry, you might make bad food decisions. But if you have plenty of healthy food at home, you're more likely to eat healthy. Duh.
5. Make a healthy breakfast the night before.
6. Thicken soup or sauce with cauliflower.
People love a nice texture! Creamy, thick soups, smooth sauces and mashed potatoes all taste good, but contain enormous amounts of fat, usually the unhealthy kinds.
Luckily, there is a super veggie: cauliflower. It's low in fat, low in calories, and high in fiber and nutrients! Simply add the steamed or lightly boiled cauliflower to your soup or a sauce, and blend it. You'll be pleasantly surprised by its thick and creamy texture. If you like to make mashed potatoes, use cauliflower instead of potatoes. It tastes very similar, and is lower in calories and easier to digest.
7. Instead of flour, use oats.
White wheat flour is highly processed, devoid of nutrients and also contains gluten. For a healthier option, replace white flour with oats. Simply process dry oat flakes in a blender, food processor or a coffee grinder.If you’re sensitive to gluten, make sure to get gluten-free certified oats. Oats naturally do not contain gluten, but are often cross-contaminated with tiny bits of wheat, rye or barley.
8. Replace wheat pasta with veggie “noodles.”
Wheat pasta is very processed and also contains gluten, which many people are sensitive to. It is also very mucus-forming and is not good for your digestion. Therefore, you can replace your pasta with veggie “noodles” made of zucchini, carrot or cucumber. You will either need a vegetable spiralizer, or a simple peeler. If you use a peeler, just cut the vegetables into a flat noodle shape. Vegetable noodles, mixed with a sauce, become soft and their texture resembles real pasta.
9. Make your own flavored water.
10. Ditch milk for a home-made almond or other nut milk, and replace butter with avocado.
Dairy products are also the food of the past. They contain so many antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides. Plus, cow’s milk is the food for baby calves, not for grown-up humans. Also, so many people are lactose-intolerant even without knowing it. Almond or other nut milk is so easy to make, and you can make a bigger batch and keep it in the fridge.Butter is full of saturated fat, which clogs your arteries and leads to a heart disease. Instead, replace your butter with a heart-healthy avocado. It tastes so much better and is cruelty-free.
