Introduction
Sometimes in cooking and especially in baking the delicious foods we make can pack a lot of calories. While there is room for delicious, higher calorie foods in a healthy diet, it is best to practice moderation. However, if you still want to make a delectable dessert or soothing comfort foods, making healthy ingredient swaps allows you to eat them more often with less calories and concern. This article will discuss healthier swaps in both cooking and baking with ingredients that reduce calories, increase nutrients, and are beneficial to overall health.
As a word of advice, start small with swaps. Choose ingredients you know you like, then try new ingredients on their own before adding them to recipes. With families, it is important to try new ingredients before adding them to recipes to be sure your family likes them. However, once most of these ingredients are mixed in, it’s hard to tell they are even there!
