Make Better Food Swaps This Season

Autumn is a season that’s popular for delicious and hearty meals. While it’s okay to indulge occasionally, here are some smart eating tips and food swaps for fall wellness.
Pumpkin spice lattes, candy corn, hearty stews and sweet ciders are all synonymous with the season of fall. As we ditch our bikinis for cozy sweaters, most of us tend to crave comfort foods around this time of year. Perhaps it’s because we no longer need to worry about our beach bodies, or maybe it’s because a pleather of holidays are centered around tantalizingly tasty treats. Whatever the reason may be, one thing is certain; this holiday season, it’s important to remind yourself that you’re Better Off Healthy.

While it’s okay to indulge in a delicious delicacy from time to time, focus on consuming nutrient-dense meals this fall. Here are simple seasonal swaps you can make to ensure a healthy fall.

Change Your Edible Décor:
Having a bowl of candy-corn in your home as a festive display is a recipe for disaster unless you have serious will-power. Swap out bowls of sugar with freshly picked apples for seasonal décor that’s healthy and delicious.

Lighten Up Your Latte:
Pre-made pumpkin lattes are filled with sugar and empty calories. Create your own version with fat free milk, organic pumpkin puree & pumpkin pie spice.

Swap Your Cider:
Sweet apple cider can contain excess sugar and little to no health benefits. Swap it out for an herbal apple tea for naturally sugar-free beverage. .

Switch-Up Your Stew:
A hearty stew feels like a warm hug on a cold autumn night. However, when packed with fatty meat and potatoes, it can leave you feeling sluggish. Use lean meats or chicken and load up on fresh veggies for a healthy and delicious fall dinner.

Portion Your Pie:
There’s nothing like enjoying a freshly baked pie in the fall. However, practicing portion control while indulging is crucial. Make sure you have a reasonably sized slice so you can enjoy the taste without over doing it.
