Decadent Favorites with a Healthy Twist!
Everyone loves comfort foods. Sometimes you want all the decadence of your favorite foods but the guilt that comes with it can be crippling. What if you could have it all. Your favorite satisfying foods, but with a healthy twist?! Here you go!
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with Arugula
Mac and Cheese is a comfort food staple. But it's usually loaded with so much heavy cream and cheese that it could take a month just to work off two bites! While I was perusing Instagram recently I came across a pic of my friend Lauren Nolan, aka The Lakeshore Lady's, Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with Arugula. The heavy cream is replaced with roasted cauliflower puree and it's outstanding. You do NOT feel like you're eating a healthy substitution. Get the whole recipe here!
Who doesn't like to end a satiating dinner with something sweet?! But as we know, most of our favorite dessert indulgences are "a moment on the lips...a lifetime on the hips" But what if you could actually be eating your favorite desserts but also have it be healthy?! Mind blown, right?!
Muller Dessert Inspired Yogurts * are the best of both worlds. It comes in a dual sided container (we're all familiar with these). One side has the little crumbles and crunchies we love, and the side has the fruity goodness or creamy part of the dessert incorporated into it. I swear it's as if you are eating the actual desserts, and the fact that you get all the flavor for under 220 calories is outstanding.
Now I am VERY picky about yogurts. I used to be naive and think that any yogurt was automatically healthy for you. Then I realized that most of the yogurts we eat have artificial flavorings or sweeteners (which are incredibly harmful). Muller Dessert Inspired Yogurts have NO artificial flavorings, sweeteners, or high fructose corn syrup. They’re a good source of calcium and protein and best yet, they’re made from cows not treated with hormones. So now it’s ok to indulge in your favorite desserts and say adios to all the guilt that comes with it. Also, you've gotta check out this hilarious video that The Girls With Glasses made to show you how Muller Dessert Inspired yogurts are a delicious lifesaver. Click HERE to watch. Here’s to our sweet-tooths! #yogurtwithbenefits
