Choose This Instead of That

Health and Wellness Trainer and Nutritionist Katie Mackenzie offers practical advice for healthy food swaps.

Making healthier food choices begins well before you sit down to eat. It starts with the decisions you make at the grocery store, where selecting the right products can lay the foundation for improved eating habits. Here are some excellent alternatives to choose.

Choose Poppi instead of Traditional Soda

Poppi is a refreshing, lower-sugar alternative to traditional sodas. Unlike traditional sodas, which are high in sugar and can lead to health issues, Poppi's reduced sugar content and prebiotics that support gut health and digestion make it a smart choice for overall wellness.

Choose Lesser Evil Popcorn instead of Chips

Lesser Evil Popcorn offers a whole-grain, lower-calorie snacking choice, ideal for when you want to snack without overindulging. It's a great way to enjoy a crunchy treat while keeping your calorie intake in check.

Choose Siggi's Yogurt instead of Other Yogurt Options

Siggi's yogurt is a high-protein choice, free from artificial ingredients and with significantly less added sugar than many traditional yogurt brands. It's an excellent way to fuel your body with quality nutrition.

Choose Skinny Dipped Almonds instead of Chocolate Bars

Skinny Dipped Almonds are a perfect balance of sweetness and nutrition. These almonds are coated in a thin layer of chocolate, offering a satisfying treat while providing protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making them a better choice than standard chocolate bars.

Choose Inspire Wellness Collagen instead of Coffee Creamer

Inspire Wellness Collagen is an excellent substitute for coffee creamers, providing a boost of protein while supporting your bones, joints, skin, and hair with its regenerative benefits. It's a simple way to enhance your morning routine with added nourishment. 

Choose To Stock Your Car With Healthy Snacks.

Keep your cars stocked with CHOMPS, almonds, Barebells protein bars, and Trader Joe's Organic Sparkling Apple Cider Vinegar to avoid grabbing unhealthy options or arriving home starving and eating everything in sight!
