Hiding veggies in your family’s favourite dishes is a unique way of getting them to eat more fresh veggies and fruit which contain a variety of important nutrients, while reducing the kilojoule content as well as saving money on expensive high protein foods such as meat, fish and dairy products.
Replacing up to 25% per weight, of the high kilojoule ingredients in standard dishes such as meat or chicken casseroles, fish cakes, burger patties, macaroni cheese and cake and bread recipes with pureed vegetables, is a healthy and cost effective way to ensure that your family is receiving the best nutrition while making weight loss completely effortless.
Add half a cup of cooked and pureed cabbage, cauliflower, butternut or squash to casseroles, cheesy pasta dishes or mince while cooked and pureed pumpkin or carrot may be added to cakes and breads.
By diluting meat, chicken or fish dishes with canned or cooked and minced legumes such as beans or chickpeas, it is possible to reduce energy intake by up to 1512kj per day as these foods contain little or no fats and have the added benefit of being low GI.
To stretch your budget and reduce kilojoule intake even further, puree seasonal fresh fruit and add this to the more expensive foods such as yoghurt and ice cream.
Implementing these simple steps as part of your healthy Tonica© lifestyle, effortless, sustainable weight loss and optimum energy is assured.
