Adapting Recipes

 

You can change recipes easily to make them more healthy:

Ingredient to change

What you can change it to

Fat

Use polyunsaturated fats. If cheese use half fat cheese

Seasoning

Use herbs, spices, lemon juice, instead of salt which is bad for you

Sugar

Use artificial sweetener or add natural sugars from fruit e.g. dried apricots

To make a recipe more healthy you can add fibre by adding fresh fruit and vegetables. Fibre stops constipation.

There are also some other ways to adapt recipes:

Make cheaper

Add more cereals and bulking goods e.g. more pasta and less sauce

Suit Vegetarian

Use corn or TVP (textured vegetable protein)

Suit consumer demands

Make vegetarian, make it dolphin friendly, no beef, not tested on animals
