Healthier Choices: Delicious Food Alternatives

Sometimes you don’t need a complete food overhaul. As a matter of fact, if you are just looking for little tweaks that you can make to your everyday diet, whether to get in more protein, fiber, vitamins, or more, there are a ton of delicious swaps that you can make. These swaps taste so good to the writers at Healthy Smart Living, that some of these items are mainstays in our cabinets because we love eating them so much.

If You Like Ice Cream, Try Halo Protein Ice Cream

No lie, Halo ice cream tastes delicious and calorie counts start at only 240 calories FOR AN ENTIRE PINT OF IT. They are creamy, satisfying, and bonus is that you will get in a good amount of protein too. Check out your local grocery store to see if they have started carrying it yet.

If You Like Flour Pasta, Try Corn Pasta

Corn flour is wonderful for those who are trying to be gluten-free. It has a nice chew and bite to it, tastes fanastic and you can just treat it as you would regular pasta. We especially love it with other tomato sauce or tossed with some mashed avocado for a creamy topping.

If You Like Chips, Try Mary’s Gone Crackers

Mary’s Gone Crackers don’t taste like potato chips, but they do taste extra special. The incredibly crunch you get from the variety of ingredients in it are so addicting. And because there are so many whole ingredients in it from whole grain flax seeds to whole grain quinoa, it will keep you satisfied and full for a long time.

If You Like Water, Try Coconut Water

Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water is so tasty! It tastes much better than some other bottles coconut waters we have tried. There are no artificial flavors to it and it will keep you very hydrated as you sip on it throughout the day. It’s lovely for when you get tired of sipping on water.
