Healthy Food Tip

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Rachel and I want to share a tip for healthy eating with you. :)

      Have you tried to eat healthy, but found it difficult to find tasty meals.  Start with the fruits and vegetables that you like. Simple right? You can search the internet for "healthy recipes" and find weird ingredients like goji berries or beef livers, but ingredients like these may not be available or within your budget. So start simple and eat the foods that you like.



       Lets say you like squash. You can always slice them up, put them in a pot with onions and a little butter, cover them with water, boil until tender, and serve as a side dish. Or you can bake them in a squash casserole, put them in a soup, brush with olive oil and grill, or saute with other veggies and serve with rice.


      Or if you like tomatoes, you can put them on just about everything. You can put them on salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Make them into soups, stews, and sauces, like spaghetti sauce. You can even dice them up to put on tacos and homemade pizza.

 

      You may even like blueberries. I love putting blueberries in a smoothie for breakfast. Just take frozen blueberries, frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, and milk (I use rice milk, but you can use almond or cows milk). You can also put in protein powder, kale, spinach, peaches, mangoes, or any other in-season fruit.

So as you can see, eating healthy doesn't have to be difficult. Take the foods that you like. Start simple and enjoy the foods that you eat.

God bless!
