On Wednesday's (hump day), I would love to share with you little tips that my family and I use to keep healthy. They are easy and I promise that I do them. They are not huge things but when I think about all of them together, they add up to make a bigger difference in our lives. So without further ado, my first and favorite:
1. Substituting Greek Yogurt for sour cream, mayonnaise or anything else creamy!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sour cream. I would choose it over dessert. My all time favorite snack is a sour cream and salsa mixture with tortilla chips. Even though I don't eat that as a snack anymore, I love to put that same mixture in tacos and over taco salad. Last week, I substituted half of the mayo in my chicken salad with greek yogurt and I couldn't tell the difference. Next time I might just leave out the mayo and see what happens.
This is the kind that I use:
I've used others and they are much more "tangier". This one is most like sour cream to me.
Happy Healthy Hump day!
Great tip. I am a sour cream addict myself. Will try this next time I making a salad with mayo or will try half greek yogurt and half sour cream with my tacos. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good tip!! Athenos (plain, non-fat) greek yogurt goes in every after-run smoothie I make. I can't get over how much more protein it has than regular yogurt, plus there's less sugar. I've tried it in a lot of our dinner meals too, def don't notice a different from the usual!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great blog! Our lifestyles are very similar! :o)
