Save this, share to a friend, use for your next meal planning!
1️⃣ Use Herbs and Spices
Many people forget about how much flavor (and nutrients) you can add with herbs and spices! Some of our favorites include: Himalayan sea salt, black pepper, garlic, onion powder, and lots of blends.
We love Italian Seasoning, Everything but the Bagel blend, “taco” or mexican blends, Mrs. Dash blends etc. They had lots of flavor with zero calories. You can buy them dried or fresh, but make sure to get good quality (organic without any additives).
I have a whole post about Spices and Herbs; go check it out here!
2️⃣ Prepare them a Better Way
Steamed brussel sprouts? BLEH. Roasted with some balsamic vinegar and spices? YUM!
Texture, and how things are prepared, can make or break food.
If you don’t like veggies, try roasting (air fryer or oven) to get crispy.
Not a fan of meat? Take chicken and shred it, or try ground turkey/beef.
Eggs can be prepared a dozen + ways.
There are lots of options!
3️⃣ Use Healthy Condiments
Adding a dip, sauce, or even a little bit of texture can go a long way.
Some favorites for us include: mustards, buffalo or bbq sauce, ketchup (using all natural ingredients) hot sauce, salsas, vinegars, coconut aminos etc. I also like guacamole or avocado, Tzatziki sauce, or making your own sauces is also fairly simple!
I personally love Primal Kitchen and Good Foods brands.
When choosing condiments, avoid high calorie and inflammatory options that have vegetable or seed oils, very high in fat or have additives like MSG.
I can instantly elevate any meal by adding a favorite condiment or two. But the problem is, most condiments are packed with inflammatory vegetable and seed oils, added sugars, gums, emulsifiers, natural and artificial flavorings, and more.
Here’s a list of my favorite clean options to turn a blah dish into something delicious!
- Organic apple cider vinegar
- @simplyorganicfoods spices
- @primalkitchen condiments, dressings and dips
- @gmgsalsa salsa
- @wildbrine and Cleveland Kitchen sauerkraut
- @hopefoods hummus
Here’s what to look for on labels:
- A SHORT ingredient list with REAL foods
- No added sugars
- No inflammatory vegetable or seed oils (sunflower, safflower, soybean, peanut, canola, vegetable, etc)
- Organic if possible
- No gums, emulsifiers, fillers
- No food coloring
- No artificial or natural flavors
