What you can replace:
1. Replace crackers with our tasty Cucumber Bites! They are healthy, refreshing, and much more filling. Top cucumber slices with mustard, chicken, and dill.
2. Replace french fries with grilled carrot fries! Preheat the over to 425°. Slice carrots and toss with olive oil and salt. Place on baking sheet. Cook for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Replace bread with lettuce. Our favorite recipe to try this with is our Club Lettuce Wrap. Pick your choice of lettuce (I like Romaine or Butter Lettuce best) and top with turkey, tomato, and bacon.
4. Replace a bowl of ice cream with our Almond Butter Smoothie Bowl!
5. Replace soda with 2/3 cup of sparkling water with 1/3 cup of 100% fruit juice.
