Five Quick Tips for Healthy Eating



If you can learn kitchen shortcuts to delicious and healthy meals, you can change your lifestyle.



Try these tips to cut salt, fat and calories:

Add flavor without adding salt. A bit of lemon juice can make a small amount of salt seem like more. Or perk up bored taste buds with vinegar and pepper.

For dips or spreads that call for cream cheese, substitute half a cup of ricotta cheese blended with half a cup of fat-free cream cheese. Serve with raw veggies.

Add evaporated fat-free milk to soups and casseroles in place of heavy cream. Bulk up casseroles, stews and soups with beans and vegetables.

Cradle your pie filling with a crust of graham crackers instead of pastry dough.

Use applesauce instead of butter and oil in baked goods. A half cup of applesauce equals one cup of butter or oil.

Treat your employees to a healthy cooking class or a wellness workshop right in the office.
