The snacks we choose can make a big difference to maintain a healthy weight. By substituting a few healthier choices you can snack guilt-free!
Salsa is a great way to satisfy one of your daily vegetable requirements while adding flavor to cottage cheese as a replacement for higher calorie fruits and as a swap for sour cream on a quesadilla. A half cup of salsa is only 21 calories, which is a great way to eliminate 200 calories if using higher calorie garnishes and fruits.
Turnips, parsnips, and rutabagas are a tasty and healthy alternative for potatoes. Clean, cube and add spices like rosemary, garlic, and sage, and bake for a tasty side dish at your next meal.
Celery and carrots are a good snack but did you know that a cup of sliced bell peppers has only 20 calories and at the same time supplies 120 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement. They are also full of antioxidants – so crunch away.
