Swap your teatime snacks for an apple instead. It gives you the satisfaction of a crunchy treat while not wreaking havoc on your waistline.
If you haven’t tried this yet, you don’t know what you’ve been missing! Avocado paste used as a spread in sandwiches is delish and gives you a boost of vitamins and nutrients. Now you can keep the butter please.
Don’t miss the chance to add some fruits like berries (lots of antioxidants!) or grapes into your salads. We tend to think of salads as just leafy greens and some proteins like chicken breast meat – but adding fruits will inject a sweet dimension to the taste.
