Most of us get stuck in a rut of eating the same foods, prepared in the same way, over and over. Sometimes, making a few modifications to those old standbys can reinvent a dish and make it healthier at the same time.
At Healthy Choice®, we use herb and spice combinations to create delicious flavors instead of smothering foods with breading, butter, cheese, or cream-laden sauces. You can, too. Give it a try!
| Instead of this... | Make this... | Or turn to Healthy Choice |
| Salmon broiled with butter | Brush fresh salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Grill. After the first turn, sprinkle with fresh dill and lemon zest. | Healthy Choice Creamy Dill Salmon |
| Carryout pizza | For a thin crispy crust, start with a whole-wheat tortilla on a lightly oiled pan. Top with pizza sauce, and sprinkle with part-skim mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken, artichoke hearts, grilled peppers, spinach, or any variety of veggies. Place in a 400°F oven until cheese is melted. | Healthy Choice Gourmet Supreme Pizza |
| Fettuccini alfredo | Substitute light margarine and milk for the butter and cream. Add a flavor twist with grated nutmeg and black pepper. | Healthy Choice Grilled Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo |
| Breaded, fried pork chops | Sprinkle a pork tenderloin with coriander and pepper, roast it, and then top it with port wine sauce. (For the sauce, add ˝ cup each low sodium chicken broth and port to the pork broth, and boil about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons Fleischmann's soft margarine spread. Pour over sliced roast.) | Healthy Choice Apple Glazed Pork Medallions |
Substitutions are a simple but powerful strategy for saying bye-bye to unwanted fat, and hello to great flavor and health. Who knew nutritious food could taste this good?
