Not all fats are bad! In fact your body needs fats. One way to incorporate healthy fats into your day is to stick with these three tips.
- Get a boost at breakfast. If you begin your day with a smoothie or toast, try adding almond butter or even whole/sliced almonds to your breakfast. Chia seeds are a great added addition to oatmeal, cereal, or jam. They have tons of omega three fatty acids that puts a KICK into our day!
- Make your own salad dressing. Using olive oil creates the healthy fat that you need to eat your greens. Along side the 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, add 4 to 5 tablespoons of vinegar and/or a splash of orange juice, a dollop of honey, garlic and/or other herbs from your spice rack!
- Go Craz-EEee for Coconut OIL. You may have heart that its highly saturated in fat but coconut oil is getting a new rap sheet! It may boost thyroid functions, promote weight-loss, protect against infections, etc. Use it to bake with and/or saute vegetables with weekly!
