The other day I was doing some investigating work at a local grocery store and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the large displays of holiday baking ingredients. They were stocked full of… Crisco… Gold Medal All-Purpose Flour… Baking Powder with Aluminum… C&H Cane Sugar… Vanilla Artificial Flavoring… Artificial Food Colors… Domino Brown Sugar… and many more unhealthy (but super popular) products. I knew right then and there I needed to write about this immediately!
Do you have any of those products in your pantry? I bet a lot of you do.
Today on the blog I shared 12 Healthy Holiday Baking Swaps that make much better alternatives to common ingredients used in holiday baking. I show you EXACTLY what I use when a favorite family recipe calls for "flour", "shortening", and "sugar"... and you might be surprised at how easy it is.
You don't need to sacrifice your health to enjoy holiday treats. It's all about making better choices, and this same philosophy applies any time of the year. With these healthier swaps, you can ignore those holiday displays full of GMOs and controversial additives at your grocery store and still make your favorite recipes!
How we choose to spend our dollars is very powerful. If everyone made these healthier swaps, our stores would stop carrying all those toxic products and give us more good options!
Please forward this email to your friends and family to show them why it is important to make better decisions when we shop for food. Let's all vote with our dollars and protect our health – yes, even during the holidays.
