Ep. 127 | Healthy Treats

Faithfully Well with @RisaAuger

With mixed feelings, over this weekend with some amazing friends, I treated myself to a brunch to commemorate my milestone birthday.

I say mixed because WOW I’m feeling the number, but in a way, I’m also so proud of how much love there is in my house, how close I am to my friends, and the deepening relationships with you all!

Here’s the thing. Brunch CAN totally be a healthy gathering - and normally it IS for me. All that laughing is good for the soul. I order mindfully and then share to keep portions under control.This weekend was not that!

On this episode of HHM, I chatted about how to make your treats just a little bit healthy. I also mention that there these tactics are not needed all the time. Practicing 80/20 is a good thing daily. When you do want to lighten things up, here are some things you can do to swap and focus on sources of nature’s sweetness instead of commercially made ones.

. Use nature’s sweet things like fruit and dates to sweeten

. Swap your flours away from traditional baking flour - almond, coconut, chickpea, oat.. etc.

. Try hiding veggies or fruit in something - think carrot and zucchini muffins!

. Try making the traditional recipe, simply cutting the sugar in half

. Cut your portions in half… in thirds…

. Skip items that are processed and come packaged from factories

I am happy to help you out on any specific item you’re wondering about. Email or message me!
