junk food alternative

Post by mohamed benziane »

can you guys give us ideas about alternatives for junk food that is healthy and somehow tastes the same or at least good

I recently discovered a replacement for french fries which are oven fries, you boil the potatoes halfway cooked take them out preheat your oven on high add any spice you like and herbs to the potatoes some olive oil on top, and leave them in the oven until they become hard from the outside, very delicious its been so long since I last made french fries.

Outshine fruit bars instead of ice cream. They're very tasty and feel like a treat!

Instead of potato fries, you can try different veggies like zucchini fries, they are yum. Anything baked, instead of fried food is a good healthy option.

When I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, I began to avoid eating junk foods. However, there are moments when I can't help but crave one. The same is applicable for you; I always have healthy veggies and fruits on hand as a substitute for junk food. Fresh potatoes, sweet potatoes, and bananas can be fried for a tasty and healthful meal though.

I also like oven-cooked "fries". Sweet potatoes are even tastier. I also like air-popped corn with a small bit of butter and salt. Much healthier than chips.
