Amy shares with MyDomaine that the best way to make instant pizza healthier is to choose the right toppings and base. It’s also wise to add in more vegetables like mushroom and spinach that are higher in fibre to keep you full for longer.

Nutritionists to the stars, Lisa DeFazio shares that instant food that has cheese on it has plenty of calories and sodium.

She recommends picking a vegetarian option where possible and adding in more fresh greens to balance the meal. Calorie levels on instant lasagne can be pretty high too, so Lisa recommends reading the labels, “The average woman should eat 1200 to 1600 calories per day, so keep dinner around 500 calories,” she shares with MyDomaine.

The folks at The Food Lab recently found a genius way of making instant noodles healthier. The powdered soup stock found in instant noodle packets usually contain plenty of sodium and MSG so it’s best to use a soup base made of real meat.

So boil the noodles and add in fresh vegetables but opt out on using the powdered soup stock.

Try to stay away from frozen chicken pieces that have been fried or heavily glazed with sauces. They’re usually higher in sodium levels. Instead, choose cleaner and leaner options so you have the choice of giving it a better seasoning at home.

Opt for dumplings that have been steamed instead of those that have been fried. Choose those that have been stuffed with vegetables instead of meat as the ones with meat tend to be marinated in a mixture of sodium heavy sauces.
