Five Healthy Alternatives To Unhealthy Foods

Eating healthy is hard. Temptations are literally everywhere and every time you say you're going to start eating right, two days into it you give up. Not only is eating healthy hard, but it's super boring. Sorry, I don't want a salad for every meal, and yes I want cheese, lots and lots of cheese. Honestly, if I could survive on carbs and coffee, I would. However, there are some alternatives for everyday foods that taste pretty good! Here are a couple recipes that anyone can make!

1. Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Yes, you can in fact substitute the crust of pizza for cauliflower, and it tastes pretty good too! Replacing the flower with cauliflower reduces the carbs that you'd be eating, and its gluten free! Plus this recipe is loaded with protein. Find the recipe here! http://www.hungry-girl.com/recipe-makeovers/show/healthy-cauliflower-crust-pizza-recipe

2. Baked Donuts

I think I love donuts more than I love life. The only problem is that I would never allow myself to eat them because they're literally the worst food you can eat. However, some creative genius answered my prayers and came up with this magical recipe: baked donuts. There are multiple recipes and flavors to choose from, ranging as low as 191 calories. Find the recipe here! http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20418786,00.html

3. Ice Cream



I have done an entire article on this stuff before and ill continue to live by it. 240 calories per pint, 60 calories per serving and it tastes like heaven. Packed with protein and less than half the sugars of other brands, you need to try this stuff for yourself. It's available in stores and for more information, find their website here! http://www.halotop.com

4. Chips


I've eaten family sized bags of chips in one sitting while watching T.V. too many times to count. They're addicting and you cannot just have one. They aren't very filling so you can just keep eating them. There are tons of healthy alternatives for regular potato chips such as sweet potato chips, whole wheat tortilla chips, apple chips, banana chips and more. For other options and recipes, click here! http://greatist.com/health/healthy-chip-alternatives

5. Pancakes


Two ingredient banana pancakes. Yes, I said two ingredients. I don't think it gets much easier than this. Literally two eggs and a banana, then you're good to go! You get four to five pancakes for under 300 calories, and it takes around 10 minutes to make. If you don't believe me, click here for the recipe! http://www.food.com/recipe/2-ingredients-eggs-banana-pancakes-501408Yo

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
