Picante! Fresh Mexican Grill’s Tips to healthy eatin’….
1. Opt for whole wheat or multi-grain tortillas, which are heart
healthier than the typical tortillas. If you can’t say no to tortilla chips,
eat baked multi-grain or whole wheat.
2. Go for the fish over chicken, beef or pork, as the fish is rich
inOmega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Fish tacos are a yummy choice.
3. Salsa! Salsa! Salsa! It’s healthy and practically calorie-free – so
use it on everything to give dishes an extra kick.
4. It’s all about substitutions, choose fat-free sour cream over fatty
regular sour cream. Mix it with some fresh squeezed lime juice, lime zest and
cilantro as a tasty and rich but low-cal topping.
5. Say adios to cheese and rice, as both dairy and refined carbs are
common culprits of bloating. If you can’t forego cheese, try low-fat cheese
and/or brown rice. Also, black beans are very high in fiber, folate, protein,
and antioxidants. 6. Get spicy! Peppers, both sweet and hot, are packed with
vitamins and
carotenoids. Chili peppers have lots of benefits, such as lowering
blood pressure, fighting migraines, and burning fat.
7. Be mindful of portions – most American-based Mexican restaurants
tend togo overboard with serving size. One tip is to portion half your
restaurant meal into a to-go box before you start eating it!
