What is a warm summer night without a BBQ? Try some of these junk food swaps and enjoy flavor without the guilt!
Guacamole: Replace half the avocados called for in a recipe with zucchini. Enjoy this festive favorite with a new healthful and yummy twist!
Chips: Grab some kale chips instead of potato chips.
Corn on the Cob: Replace melted butter with citrus juice! Squirt lemon or lime on a cob fresh off the grill. You won’t have to feel guilty about noshing on this summer classic.
The Hamburger: Americana on a plate. But who says a burger patty just has to be beef? Try choosing a leaner cut of meat, skinless chicken breast or salmon? Why not slap a veggie patty on the grill? Quinoa burgers are packed with protein and are easy to make ahead of time. When you are done just freeze and cook up whenever. If you aren’t feeling quinoa, give lentil patties a try!
Ditch the bun: Wrap up that burger in lettuce. A crisp crunch is the perfect complement to a juicy and delicious burger. Another plus side, no soggy buns!
Ice Cream: Freeze individual cups of Greek yogurt, top off with berries and enjoy!
The Mojito: Whip a cocktail or “mocktail” with this skinny version of a mojito. With green tea and arugula leaves, cool down while relishing in a successful and healthful summer BBQ!
