If you are trying to shed a few pounds or are on a weight loss journey, here I will leave you guys with a few healthier ideas you could use to substitute a few items of your kitchen with.
Let’s start off simple!
- Instead of regular milk, try almond milk!
This is such a better option, much lower in calories! PLUS, it tastes way better with coffee!
2. Instead of regular brownies, try the Fiber One brownies!
If you have not gotten Fiber One brownies yet, RUN! Run to the store and get these bad boys. OMG they taste so amazing and only 70 calories.
Little tip: Add a cap of milk on top and microwave them for 20 seconds.
3. Instead of regular ice cream, try HALO TOP ice cream!
Trust me when I tell you that halo top ice cream tastes the same, if not better than regular ice cream. A whole pint of the vanilla bean has 280 calories and chances are you probably won’t eat the whole thing, but if you do it will be completely guilt-free!
4. Instead of regular ice cream bars, try the YASSO bars!
I swear these yasso bars taste so freaking amazing. Better than any other fattening ice cream bars!
5. Instead of regular flavored yogurt, try Plain Greek Yogurt topped with sugar- free maple syrup!
The plain greek yogurt I eat has 100 calories and 18 grams of protein in 6 oz. This is a pretty fair amount and does make the job of making you feel full! I love to add sugar- free maple syrup to this which only has about 5 calories, and it makes it taste so freaking good. Also, I add strawberries and blueberries. This has become my favorite snack and dessert.
6. Instead of regular bread, try the XTREME WELLNESS 50 calorie-tortillas!
You will really thank me if you substitute your daily bread with these tortillas. They taste so much better! After having these I really don’t crave regular bread at all. I put them in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes and they come out so toasty and taste incredible with absolutely anything. I am so obsessed with these that I choose them over rice anytime! I love adding one of these to my meals in place of rice or even pasta. Also, I can’t have my morning eggs without one.
7. Instead of regular pancakes, try the POWER CAKES!
You will not regret buying these pancakes! They literally taste like regular pancakes. I’d actually dare to say they taste better! High in protein and lower in calories than your regular ones. The dark chocolate ones come with little mini chocolate chips 🙂
This takes us to…
8. Instead of regular maple syrup, try Sugar-Free Maple Syrup!
Regular maple syrup is soooooo high in calories. Why have regular when you can buy sugar-free which tastes literally the same! Your pancakes will not taste any different by using sugar- free, you’ll just feel healthier.
9. Instead of a bowl of sweets (candies, chocolates), try a bowl of fruits!
Fruits are seriously such an amazing option for sweet cravings! Your body will thank you so much if instead of having a bowl of candy and chocolate you have a bowl of fresh cut up fruits! When I get late night cravings I like to have a bowl of cut up strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, half a banana, and kiwi! My absolute favorite. Trust me! When you get one of these cravings go for that fruit bowl, you won’t regret it!
And finally…
10. Instead of any of those super high in calories coffee from Starbucks, try the Iced Caramel Macchiato (with almond milk)!
A grande iced caramel macchiato with almond milk has only about 150-180 calories, and in my opinion it tastes way better than all those Starbucks coffees that have more than 500 calories. Definitely remember this next time you go get your coffee!
Hope these healthier choices are of help to you, and I would love to read about some of your healthy ideas! 🙂
