I'm not sure if this has been done before but I thought it would be fun to share any healthy food swaps we've adopted into our lifestyles.
One for me is:
Ice cream for low fat greek yoghurt!

Instead of using tortilla wraps I put all my fajita mix inside a massive lettuce leaf. Chucked the biscuits and have an oatcake instead0

Mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes
I have tried this so many times and I just cant stand it. I have to add SOO much salt/chickenstock during the blending to make it taste good. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
For me apple sauce for sugar in my cooking (specifically banana bread)0 -
Instead of pop (I'm Canadian), one can of carbonated water with a splash of 100% pineapple juice (not from concentrate) and then add in some raspberries, strawberries for fun.0

Why does it make you sad?
People aren't saying they will never have their favourite thing ever again - but if you are going to lose weight, you are going to have to make some changes to your eating habits ( and/or do more exercise) .
So if one of their changes is swapping, say, a regular snack of ice cream to a snack of frozen grapes, why is this sad?0 -
Carrots for a least some of the normal crackers/chips with dip. Works for me.0
-
Ice cream for fat free pudding.0

I swapped Aldi mutligrain or 100% wheat "Sandwich Skinnies" for hamburger buns. I sometimes swap them (or 1/2 of one) for toast, too (for making breakfast sandwiches).
Also, swap baby carrots for pita chips when eating hummus...or do something like have 8 baby carrots and 5-6 falafel chips or pita chips with hummus.
While I don't think almond milk is some magical wonderful thing, I enjoy it in place of dairy milk sometimes and it has fewer calories.0 -
fresh fruits of all kinds for most sweets. Used to love bakery sweets. I don't even miss them anymore. I have an occasional treat, but the fruit does it for me. As for chocolate, if I really want it, I fit it into my goal for the day.0

I cant say I have swapped anything,
I did start using one slice of toast with jam and peanut butter for breakfast instead of making a sandwich.0
