COOKING SWAP :)

*Citrus Juices swap instead of salt*

TIP Just a squeeze or two of the fruit will bring out the flavor of your meal, minus the sodium. Make a habit of swapping the salt shaker on your dinner table for a small bowl of sliced lemons or limes when you're eating chicken, rice and vegetable dishes.

COOKING SWAP :)

*SWAP ROLLED OATS instead of BREAD CRUMBS Tip To mimic the texture of bread crumbs (store-bought kinds can be high in sodium), pulse cholesterol-lowering oats in a food processor until grainy. Use to top casseroles or as an ingredient in meat loaf.

COOKING SWAP :)

*Swap applesauce instead of oil*

TIP: Replace half of the oil with the fruit to reduce calories in cakes, muffins, brownies and sweetened breads. In chocolate recipes, try prunes instead.

COOKING SWAP :)

*Swap smoked paprika instead bacon bits. TIP: A small pinch of the spice on top of eggs. Brussels sprouts or split pea soup mimic's the smoky flavor of bacon-with almost no calories or fat.
