To help, Healthy Choice® is sharing a few healthy swaps you can
use in your own kitchen to make your dishes more exciting, while
keeping them healthy and convenient – much like we're using in the
Healthy Choice kitchen for our new organic ingredient meals.
To learn more about our four new organic ingredient recipes,
all 270 calories or less and 100 percent natural – made with
100 percent natural proteins nothing artificial, visit
healthychoice.com.
- Swap out full fat dairy ingredients: Add vegetable
purees to your sauces for a creamier mouth feel you'd expect from
full fat sauce, without the extra calories.
Our take #1: We added a pea puree made using organic peas to the
sauce of our new organic ingredient Creamy Spinach and Tomato
Linguine meals: Organic linguini, organic spinach and tomatoes
dancing in a tasty, creamy sauce.
Our take #2: We also added a tomato puree to the sauce of our new
organic ingredient Three Cheese Tortellini meals: Cheese mixed with
cheese mixed with more cheese. All three cheeses are organic, all
three cheeses are delicious, but it gets better. We mixed in
organic spinach, organic mushrooms and tortellini, then smothered
it all in a savory marinara sauce.
- Swap out salt: Instead of over-seasoning with salt,
incorporate Sambal – a bold, spicy chili paste, in to any dish you
think might need a little punch of spice.
Our take #3: We use Sambal in our new organic ingredient Sweet
& Spicy Asian-style Noodle Bowl: Asian-inspired udon noodles,
organic celery, sweet red bell peppers, scallions and organic
carrots and organic edamame come together in this delectable meal
made with a spicy soy sauce.
- Swap out sugar: Introduce sweetness by using balsamic
vinegar, maple syrup or honey or by adding sweeter vegetable to
give dishes an overall sweetness – like carrots or red peppers.
Our take #4: We use sweet red bell peppers in our new organic
ingredient Unwrapped Burrito Bowl: Organic black and pinto beans
kick off this Mexican-inspired masterpiece. Toss in sweet red bell
peppers, scallions and organic whole grain brown rice. Then kick it
up a notch with organic fire roasted corn and spicy tomatillo
sauce.
