I hate salads. Always have, always will. I've never thought of a salad as being a "meal". How is lettuce and a few other vegetables supposed to fill me up?

None of this means that doesn't mean I don't want to be healthy. I've been on the hunt for easy switches to healthier food. These aren't drastic changes to my diet, but just enough that I feel better. Here are my easy switches!

1. Cauliflower Rice

I cant even taste the difference between cauliflower rice and regular rice. You can buy pre-riced cauliflower in the frozen section of the grocery store, which is much easier than making it yourself.

2. Sweet Potato Noodles

This is my absolute favorite dinner on a week night. Just sautee the noodles in some olive oil and garlic, and you're all set! Zucchini noodles also work, but I prefer sweet potatoes.

3. Avocado Toast

I know this is a very millennial-esqe meal, but it's super healthy and super yummy. Avocadoes are filled with nutrients, and even contain monounsaturated fatty acids that are stored in your body as energy.

4. Quinoa/Brown Rice Blend

I personally don't like quinoa by itself, but it's delicious when it's mixed with brown rice. Use this in place of white rice, or as a filler with any protein. This also makes a great base for a Buddha bowl or salad.

5. Sparkling Water

Love soda but don't want all of the sugar? Then flavored sparkling water is perfect for you (i.e. La Croix). There are tons of flavors to choose from, and they all have little to no calories.

6. Coconut Milk

Cow milk isn't as good for you as you may think. There are tons of hormones in it that humans just shouldn't take in. Coconut milk is extremely delicious and has a great nutritional value. Use it just like regular milk, and you'll get a little bit of coconut flavor in whatever you eat!
