Have you been eating the same diet food to avoid excess calories? Gone are the days when you had to eat boiled vegetables, soups, salads and fruits to reduce weight. You can smartly use few ideas to make your daily food have lesser calories and be healthy too. You may find plenty of low cal, diet or healthy recipes in this age, but there are very few which taste good. Here are some different recipes that will make you forget about your diet (though they will take care about it!)

Grilled Tomato and Green Onion Platter

If you are tired of eating raw salads and vegetables, Grilled Tomato and Green Onion platter is a smarter option. The recipe is made of  tomatoes, green onions, olive oil, basil, vinegar and some seasoning. The minimum ingredients help retain the actual flavor and nutrition. Tomatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin C, A, K and Lycopene. Even though tomatoes are more healthy if eaten raw, grilled or processed tomatoes have more quantity of lycopene than raw tomatoes. When eaten with small amount of fat, it is better absorbed in the body, hence we have used olive oil in this recipe. Olive oil is beneficial to health because of its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidative substances which offer protection against heart diseases. Read more

Tomatoes

TIP: This recipe uses 1/3 cup of olive oil but you can adjust the quantity. This recipe could also be prepared without grilling if you want a strict healthy diet.

Guacamole

Guacamole is made of ‘Avocado’ which is a rich source of heart healthy fats. Eat it with baked tortilla chips. Read more

Whole Wheat Healthy Pancakes

We eat pancakes all the time! But the refined flour is not as healthy as the whole wheat flour. So instead use whole wheat flour in you pancakes, with bananas or any other fruit to make it a healthy and complete meal. Add lots of honey, or use jaggery and brown sugar instead of white sugar. Have it with your favorite syrup like Maple or Rose. And yes, use less butter!

Steamed Vegetables with Tomato Garlic Sauce

Vegetables are low in calories and full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals. So get all your favorite vegetables together and use them in this recipe. We are using less oil and steaming the vegetables, (as against boiling, where most of the nutrients are drained out) retaining their natural juices and nutritional values. Read more

TIP: You can also grill the vegetables.
