3 Low Calorie Toppings to Flavor Your Boring Meals

Many people shy away from healthy eating because they fear they’ll have to eat boring, tasteless foods. But did you know there are some delicious toppings you can add to your meals that are low calorie, or even completely FREE of calories??

The most versatile of these products is Walden Farms. Walden Farms makes calorie free salad dressing, sauces, syrups, and dips. They’re made from fruit extracts, natural flavors, and sweetened with Splenda. Check them out at their website www.WaldenFarms.com. For a guilt-free dessert, try some low-fat ice cream smothered with some delicious Walden Farms chocolate sauce.

An often overlooked calorie free condiment is mustard. Mustard is great for flavoring bland sandwiches, vegetables, and meats. Sweetened varieties such as honey mustard often have carbohydrates, so stick to the traditional yellow or brown mustard for your calorie-free flavor. Use it to make those boring vegetables more palatable. Top your broccoli with yellow mustard and some Splenda. It’s a secret I learned from a successful bodybuilder, and it’s a great way to keep you full.

A great low calorie, fat free option to flavor your meals is salsa. It’s a great alternative to ketchup (it has one ¼ the calories) and it can be used on a greater variety of foods. Top off your grilled chicken with some chunky salsa, use it to flavor your vegetables, or use it to make a taco salad variation. Salsa will add taste to your meals without the extra pounds on the scale.
