3 Easy Food swaps!

3 Flat Belly Food Swaps #1 - Swap OUT brown rice, Swap IN quinoa While brown rice is thought to be the healthy grain, there's one even better, and that's quinoa. Quinoa is a gluten free grain that contains double the protein of brown rice along with greater fiber content and a lower glycemic load. Not only that, but quinoa is the ONLY grain to contain complete protein and the full spectrum of amino acids.  It comes in several varieties, including "oatmeal-like" flakes and it's wholegrain rice-like form. Enjoy it as an oatmeal substitute for breakfast, in salads or casseroles, or as a wholesome whole-grain, high protein side item to any lunch or dinner meal. #2 - Swap OUT bran flakes, Swap IN Ezekial Golden Flax Cereal Ezekial bread is over 100% whole wheat, and today I'm here to fill you in on another great Ezekial product, Golden Flax Cereal. Golden Flax contains 8 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving, along with plenty of fiber and EFAs making it far superior to Bran Flakes or any other "whole grain" cereal. #3 - Swap OUT ground beef, Swap IN ground bison Truthfully, I'm not against beef or ground beef for that matter, but if you're looking for a leaner, more nutritious alternative to beef (especially for those Protein and Carb meals), look no further than Bison (buffalo). Bison is generally 60-80% leaner than beef while containing nearly 30% more protein per ounce.  It's great for burgers and steaks alike and is a great substitute for any recipe calling for beef to add variety and nutrition to your weekly diet. You to can trick the family into eating it.
