Eating for your well-being doesn’t have to be complicated.
Below, you’ll find my favorite tips for making healthier choices throughout the day.
Add a protein to your breakfast spread
Protein is essential for feeling full.
My favorite swap is replacing regular pasta with lentil pasta.
It adds extra fiber to my plate without drastically changing the taste of my favorite recipes.
What’s more, it offers a small bump of protein to my plate.
Just be sure to look for glyphosate-free options.
My go-to is cottage cheese and fresh peppers.
It’s healthy, delicious, and satisfying.
That’s why I like to find ways to recreate my favorite sweat treats with more nutrient-dense ingredients.
For example, peanut-butter-stuffed dates often satisfy the same dessert cravingand they come with added fiber and antioxidants.
This makes frozen produce a great way to bulk out your meals without racking up your grocery bill.
My favorite way to use this hack is with rice.

Plus, it’s so much more versatile to have plain Greek yogurt for other recipes.
