Healthy meal makeovers

Healthy Meal Makeovers

We all want our family to be healthy and enjoy nutritious and delicious meals.We all have the best intentions of eating healthier but the realities of life like limited time, picky eaters and tight budgets creates challenges and get in the way.But if you give it a thought, it is not very difficult also you just need to plan it.

Some suggestions worked out for you all:-
-use greens like leafy veges, different coloured capscium as much as possible add to your rotis, chutneys, soup, gravies, pancakes,dals, sandwiches, pasta, pulav
-try out whole wheat bread rather than regular white bread, moreover if possible switching to rotis.
-Boost fiber by 50% simply by substituting refined flour with multi grain or wholegrain flour.
-incorporate seasonal veges and fruits wherever you can.

This way using your creativity in making a healthy meal for family favorites may take no more than 5 minutes and when you use seasonal stuff it fits your budget also well. And adding fresh vegetables is the easiest way to improve any meal, since most are low in calories but high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

By adding more fruits, veggies, and wholegrains, to traditional recipes, the calories per serving can be dramatically reduced, which can be an added advantage to your weight loss attempt.

Why not give it a try.... go build healthy meals
