Whether you're having trouble sticking to your New Year's resolutions or the sweet treats of summer have won you over, you're not alone—sticking to healthy habits is hard. The good news? If you want to right the ship, eating well doesn't have to feel like a punishment. In fact, getting back on track can be easy and delicious—we’ll show you how!
Make Balanced Versions of Everyday Favorites
If you're looking to lighten up your diet, you don't need to start from scratch. Little changes can give your favorite indulgences a more balanced and nutritious spin. Have you been daydreaming about ordering in a pepperoni pizza, even though you're trying to eat more veggies? Scratch that itch with a homemade Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Pesto and Tomatoes instead. Birds Eye® Steamfresh® Veggie Made™ Riced Cauliflower makes easy work of prepping that low-carb cauliflower crust. Looking for more options? Our Smarter Weight Loss bundle is packed with delicious takes on comfort food staples.
Meat-Free Is In
Remember the days when the only vegetarian foods you could find on a restaurant menu were sides? Vegetarian and vegan diets have gone mainstream, and they’ve brought so many delicious ways to eat along with them. Ease into Meatless Mondays with a Cauliflower Rice and Chick'n Burrito Bowl featuring meaty Gardein™ Seven-Grain Crispy Tenders, fresh avocado, Birds Eye Steamfresh Selects Super Sweet Corn, lime, and cilantro, all served over a spicy black bean and cauliflower rice mix. Or treat your taste buds to a Vegetarian Tamale Pie that gets a flavorful kick from Ro*Tel® Original. Whether you're a lifelong carnivore looking to try something new or a plant-based pro, there are so many delicious ways to increase your veggie intake and bring balance back to your diet. Grab a Plant-Based bundle to get started with the basics!
Keep Easy-Prep Staples on Hand
Busy day? For nights when you’re not up for cooking, you don't need to turn to takeout—just make sure your kitchen is stocked with enticing options. Open your freezer to enjoy delicious flavors and ingredients picked at the peak of freshness with balanced, delicious frozen entrées from Healthy Choice, including a southwestern Adobo Chicken Wrap and succulent Basil Pesto Chicken Power Bowl. Grab a Healthy Choice bundle so the smart options are always the easiest ones, too.
Go Against the Grain
Whether you're trying to go keto or just looking to cut down on carbs, you're in luck. Grain-free carb swaps are all the rage right now, and they’re more accessible than ever. Try Miso-Ginger Marinated Salmon over a bed of Birds Eye® Riced Cauliflower instead of rice to add some extra nutrients and cut the carbs. These Fish Tacos skip the traditional heavy breading—instead, the tilapia is sautéed with spices to develop a flavorful “crust.” Spicy Shakshuka is naturally grain-free. Lots of garlic, Hunt’s® Tomatoes, smoked paprika, baked eggs, and feta cheese unite for a rich but nourishing dish you can serve at breakfast or dinner. Cutting carbs doesn't have to mean losing flavor—it just means that you get to gain new ones. Grab our Grain-Free Carb Swaps bundle to make the choice even easier.
Don't Forget Your Sweet Tooth
A balanced diet simply isn't balanced if it doesn't include something sweet! Start your day off with a powerful Green Protein Smoothie topped with a whoosh of Reddi-wip® Original or Reddi-wip Non-Dairy Almond for a small indulgence. If you're daydreaming of cookies and cakes, Earth Balance® Original Buttery Spread is an easy plant-based and cholesterol-free swap. Remember, balanced eating calls for everything in moderation, including moderation, so don't forget to treat yourself!
Sticking with a balanced diet can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are plenty of options to help you stay on track. Whether that means swapping carbs or meat for veggie substitutes or simply stocking up on fresh, healthy alternatives, one thing is certain: Eating better has never tasted so good.
