Here's your best A-Z of healthy foods. At this time of year, everyone is regretting their over-indulgence over the holidays. The huge meals, the excessive drinking, the lazing around all need to be addressed, but it can be hard to go from rich, filling meals to healthy, so here are some ideas using a yummy A-Z of healthy foods
Yummo - high in fibre and packed with good oils, this one gets a big tick.
Filled with energy and vitamins, add a banana to your muesli or yoghurt to give it that tropical boost.
A great way to rehydrate after a sweaty work-out.
The fibre in dates slows down your sugar absorption, so it gives you a sweet hit that is healthier than candy.
Filled with protein, eggs give you a filling and great brekkie.
Hydrate with soda water - no sugar and ultra-refreshing!
Grapes are another great alternative to lollies.
The beauty of this one is that it tastes naughty, but is actually nice.
Make them yourself with juice and real fruit!
Freshly squeezed is great and don't forget celery and watermelon!
It's a superfood that you can put in a smoothie or salad.
Add to water and salads for a healthy zing.
Yuuuummmm! If not in season buy dried or frozen and add to smoothies.
High in fibre, good fats, and amazing nutrients - get these on your snack list...try cashews that are roasted and unsalted or even better cashew butter!
Here is your opportunity to add heaps of things from this list - avocados, pesto, onions, cheese, tomatoes and whatever you like...make an extraordinary omelette and enjoy!
So good for you in so many ways - a great addition to every fruit salad.
Yes, quinoa - add it to anything you can.
Sweet and tasty - filled with the good stuff.
Again sweet, high in fibre, and full of vitamins.
Try some herbal teas to appease your sweet tooth.
Actually, try adding no salt to anything - popcorn, nuts, chips - everything tastes pretty good without tons of salt all over it - enjoy!
Yes, veggies - add them to every meal you can, instead of a cheese sandwich - add lots of tomatoes, onions, lettuce, pesto - anything you can find - turn every sandwich into a salad sandwich!
Remember you need to drink to shrink!
No, it is not made up - it is a type of watermelon
Buy natural and dress it up with fruit, muesli and anything else that works!
Yes, I am serious - add it to omelettes for vitamins and fibre.
