#ReadySetEat: Healthier Substitutions

Have you ever wondered how to substitute not so healthy ingredients with healthy ingredients? 

I know I did! 

I had a ton of questions, like… 

• What could I use as a butter substitute?
• Is there such a thing as a salt substitute?
• What could I use to make a meatless taco?

These were all questions that vexed me on my journey  to a healthy life. I needed to lower our cholestoral and my teen’s blood pressure, naturally, without medication. I knew it could be done. I heard others had accomplished it, yet had no clue where to begin. 

Through trial and error, I succeeded. Yet I made mistakes along the way.  Mistakes that changed the quality of our food. Mistakes that made my children cringe at the word “healthy”. Mistakes that almost, but not quite, made me want to give up. 

It was hard. 

I knew I had to continue for our health but I was disheartened with the taste. I craved salt. I craved sweets. I craved sabor/flavor! 

Thankfully,  I discovered the Healthier Substitutions on ReadySetEat. It provided me with a list of healthier alternatives, answering the questions I had above and than some.  It now hangs on my refrigarator door; as a result, I no longer make the mistakes I once did. 

My boys no longer fear the word healthy and neither do I. We embrace it. 

Check it out!  It’ll transform your mealtimes! 🙂
