The Healthy Swaps Cookbook: Easy Substitutions to Boost the Nutritional Value of Your Favorite Recipes

by Danielle Davis

Overview

Simple Switches to make Popular Dishes Better for You

Boost your favorite meals by swapping in ingredients that are bursting with vitamins, minerals and other vital nutrients—without compromising on flavor!

Learn how to pick leaner proteins to make delicious, wholesome meals like Thai Turkey Meatballs, Jamaican Jerk Grilled Chicken Wraps and Slow-Cooker Tacos al Pastor. Ditch nutrient-void white flour in favor of nutrient-rich—and tasty!—alternatives like almond and coconut flour and use them to make recipes such as Almond Flour Chicken Tenders and Healthy Lemon Bars. And use healthier fats like coconut oil and Greek yogurt instead of butter, cream or mayonnaise in Greek Yogurt Beef Stroganoff, Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake and Healthier New York–Style Cheesecake with Macerated Strawberries.

Whether you’re looking to cut back on refined sugar, find more wholesome carb options or generally improve the nutritional value of your favorite meals, this incredible collection is your go-to source for whole-food recipes that don’t skimp on flavor.
