You will find nutritional advice everywhere!

Browse online and you’ll find a number of e-books and various nutritional blogs promising nutritional facts and “secrets” to eating healthy.

Even then, why is it so difficult to eat healthy?

Have you ever heard of the phrase “knowing is half the battle”? It’s very true in the case of nutrition. If you know what exactly you should eat, then you have discovered the secret for success!

Now you need not punish yourself by eating something that tastes awful just to maintain your diet. Make your routine food better and healthy with some tiny teeny tweaks and some yummy substitutions!

1. Love smoothies but scared of the high calories present in them due to sugar? We have a healthy alternative for you! Prepare your favorite shakes and smoothies by adding dates instead of sugar.

Health experts suggest using dates as natural sweeteners in place of sugar. For a healthy breakfast, you can have a banana, coconut and dates shake!

2. Go natural with your sandwich spread!

Who doesn’t love mayo? But when it comes to a healthy diet, you should definitely put a ban on it and upgrade your sandwich spread with avocado instead of mayo. Mayonnaise can cause a real hike in the calorie intake, so better avoid it.

3. Replace your favorite candies with frozen grapes!

Each frozen grape is like a tiny and perfect popsicle! Freeze the grapes in a sealed plastic bag or else they will dry out.

4. Use potatoes to make your soups creamy!

As we all are aware, cream contributes in adding excess fat to our diet. Instead, use cashews or potatoes to make blended soups creamy, smooth and healthy!

5. Instead of topping your pancakes with syrup and butter, top them with fruits!

People who eat fruits regularly as a part of an overall healthy diet have a reduced risk of various diseases, including chronic diseases. Put waffles or fruit compote over your pancakes and turn them healthy!

6. Make your salads healthy by mixing them with yogurt.

Greek or regular yogurt is better in every way. Then why not mix it in egg, tuna or chicken salad instead of mayo?

7. Make a healthy and low-carb pizza base with cauliflower.

Trust me, it’s not a trap! The cauliflower pizza crust holds together really well, and you can eat the pizza easily with your hands! Bonus – This healthy and thin pizza crust tastes delicious!

8. Along with pizza base, cauliflower makes an amazing and healthy alternative to rice.

Chop the cauliflower finely in a food processor and then cook it for few minutes. You might never go back to rice again!

9. Bake your crispy chicken using a healthier alternative to flour.

Bake the crispy chicken by adding almonds instead of breadcrumbs or gram flour. Make a coarse paste with garlic, salt, oil, paprika and almonds, rub onto the chicken and bake it for half an hour. It makes a delicious coating out of almonds, paprika and garlic.

10. Avocado is always a great substitute for butter while baking.

Baking the cakes and cookies with avocado paste instead of butter makes them healthy and vegan.

11. Make delicious soft-serve ice cream at home using a banana!

Just blitz a frozen banana in the blender until it turns creamy and, if you are in an adventurous mood, customize it with your favorite toppings like peanut butter, yada yada.

12. Instead of drinking soda, try a combo of mint, cucumber and seltzer, and feel fresh!

13. Add lots of protein and happiness by making your own gluten-free pancakes!

All you need to make the delicious and healthy pancake at home is eggs, peanut butter and bananas! Just whisk all the ingredients together and cook on a greased grill. Serve with fresh banana slices and walnuts.

14. Instead of sprinkling cheese on popcorn, try nutritional yeast!

Nutritional yeast is absolutely worth keeping around! It has a great flavor that is very cheese-esque with zero fat and lots of fiber and protein.

15. Add some whole grains to chili instead of meat.

Swap the ground meat for whole grains such as bulgur or quinoa, or even mushrooms, to make the chili much healthier.

16. Make healthy and baked versions of your favorite junkies for something way more unexpected than those typical greasy fries!

Swap crispy baked zucchini for the usual potato fries. You can also make radish chips or zucchini chips, or how about baked mozzarella sticks? Try out some healthy recipes.

17. Cut down fat in the dips by replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt.

Also add some veggies in the dip instead of fried chips.

Just because now you know what to eat, doesn’t mean that you’ve to eat it forcefully. Plan a strategy built on some quick hacks and choices of your own that makes eating the right food in right quantity much easier.

Look no further and improve your diet, plus look and feel better than ever!

Till then, Happy Healthy Eating!
