Try to avoid the high calorie and highfat things as much as you can, and go for fruits and vegetables. Fill up on those first. Ryan unfortunately, i think of the desert. You are here to share with us some healthy alternatives. Nikki healthy substitutions you can do to help save calories, you always have baked goods. Sub wheat flour for almond flour. It boosts the protein and it is 1 vanessa 1 11 ratio. Also, sub applesauce for sugar. Another thing is all the dip you have. Make it with a greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Higher protein, lower fat, and half the calories. Ryan for the main course, so to speak, we have a check next. Chex mix. Nikki instead of putting out the cookies, we want to put out a chex mix. We have some melted butter i am going to add, and my frozen apple juice concentrate that has been thought, and some brown sugar. Will pour that over a chex mix, a little bit of cinnamon and vanilla, and mix it all back together. You will microwave it for three minutes, stirring every minute to make sure it is nice and stirred. We will add some dry apple chips to it. You can find these at any grocery store. And then cinnamon and all meant. All meant. Almond. Ryan mo welcome to the henry fords innovation nation.
