What is healthy eating?

It seems these days everything is healthy. From organic, green, protein, and more, it can be harder to decipher what is healthy for you. In this blog, we are going to dive into a few healthy recipes, or alternatives to make your classic meals a little healthier.

Healthy Grilling Tips

1. Choose lean proteins & trim!

   Choosing lean cuts of meat such as chicken, turkey, and fish, is one of the best ways to have healthier recipes. If you want pork or beef, investigate the leaner cuts and trim visible fats.

2. Marinade with intent!

   Use marinades with herbs, spices, and acidic ingredients like vinegar or citrus to add flavor without adding excess calories.

3. Use Healthy Oils!

   The oil you use can impact not only the flavor, and higher smoker points but can also impact your overall health. Many choose to opt for olive oil instead of vegetable oil!

4. Fruits & Veggies

   You have heard it before, but the more colorful meals you have, the more potential to gain flavorful and healthy meals. Adding bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, onions, and more is an excellent choice of veggies to add! Swap dessert for grilled peaches, or any heart-shaped fruit for a decadent healthy flavor.
