Okay, so I’ve stuck to my fitness resolution so far, but one thing I always struggle with is finding the right food options, especially when I’m tired after a long day or after my workout. You feel my pain, don’t you? Well, we can do it together folks! I’ve curated a list of fantastic healthy alternatives that we can reach out for when the creamy, salty and sweet cravings strike. Try not to drool while reading this, because I sure couldn’t stop!
I love pasta. I can have it all day, every day for the rest of my life and still not get tired of it. But sadly, my body doesn’t agree with me (hello carbs!). So instead of buying pre-made pasta that doesn’t have a ton of nutrients, how about making your own pasta? For a healthy alternative to traditional pasta, try making butternut squash spaghetti or zucchini noodles! The Remy Oliver pasta maker from Stokes is the perfect tool to make your own pasta and keep your pasta-loving self happy! Absolutely fascinated by this burger, I have probably eaten a hundred of them since their initial release. The A&W Beyond Meat burger is incredible! In comparison to regular meat burgers, the Beyond Meat burger has lower cholesterol levels, fat and calories but is extremely rich in iron and protein! That’s right! This plant-based meat alternative gives you the same amount of protein as a regular meat burger. And they taste just as amazing as well! Teriyaki Experience is my one stop shop for everything flavourful and nutritious. Their wholesome grain blend of brown sprouted rice, greenwheat freekeh and black quinoa make the perfect Supergrains Vedge Bowl. With a variety of fresh cut vegetables and topped with zesty Pan-Asian sauce, their healthy meals make me feel like I’m doing my part in taking care of my body while also devouring delicious food. I’m not much of a salad person and I tend to stay a couple miles away from all sorts of greens, but this Thai Express creation sure left an impression on me! Made with wok-tossed vegetables, their hot stir-fry on a refreshing cold pad salad makes for a lighter choice filled with tons of flavour! Did you read the disclaimer on the top? Try not to drool! I’m running late, I’m always in a rush and I tend to forget my breakfast on the kitchen counter. Typical me! In my time of need during increasing gurgling and rumbling stomach noises, I reach out for my trusty warm breakfast. With only 210 calories, Starbucks’ Reduced-Fat Turkey-Style Bacon, Cheddar & Egg White breakfast sandwich is not only a healthy alternative to a bowl of Froot Loops but is amazingly delectable as well. You know where I’ll be at 7 AM in the morning!
