Ингредиенты
- SWAP #16: Dressing: Try fat free salad dressings or a tiny bit (1-2 tsp) of olive oil/vinegar/salt/pepper instead of regular creamy salad dressing
- SWAP #21: Smoothies: Use unsweetened soy milk (0g sugar) or low fat/fat free plain yogurt in smoothies instead of frozen yogurt or ice cream
- SWAP #23: Potatoes: I will often make baked sweet potatoes or yams instead of regular russet potatoes for a higher fiber and antioxidant boost
- SWAP #24: Oil: Use olive or canola oil instead of other cooking oils (and I try to stick to a small amount, no more than 1-2 Tbsp in most recipes)
