Image: xedos4 / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Wow, I'm just blown away by all the great healthy eating tips you guys gave me on my last post. I know a lot of people didn't get a chance to read the tips given in the comments, so I decided to do a follow-up post. I really wish I could share them all here, but I'll try to keep this short by only passing on the highlights.
* Instead of ice cream, try fruit smoothies made with yogurt, milk, and fruit. (yummy!)
* Freeze low-fat yogurt in popsicle molds for yogurt pops. (This will be especially helpful for me this summer since my kids are popsicle fiends!)
* simplehealthytasty.com and skinnyrecipes.com offer yummy, healthy recipes.
* Make your own fresh-squeezed juice. Use honey to sweeten it instead of sugar.
* Make green tea with honey and lemon.

great tips here. thanks for putting them all together. I do a few of these.
Great tips, Susan! Have fun this weekend...and good luck to both of your girls. :)
Thanks for sharing these. I always enjoy the fresh fruits and veggies at our local farmstands, once the warmer weather gets here. Can't wait! Have a nice weekend ...
Great ideas! I have to check out those websites...they look great. :)
Gee that fruit smoothie is a great tip! ;)
re: nose-rings in pigs... An unringed pig will dig up the ground and eat the roots. It really does make a huge mess of a paddock but great for areas that need ploughing. A ringed pig will just graze grass like a sheep or cow. The ring stops the pig from digging.
Wow, these are great tips indeed! Good luck to your family this weekend, Susan. :)
I feel so healthy just reading your post!! Yay for healthy eating!!!!
I'm going to do some potplant gardeningupkeep this weekend!!! Yay! :-) Take care

Oooh, I forgot to mention sometimes i add a little agave to the banana whip--because my kiddo has a sweet toooth. :-)
I have to speak at a Women's Ministry Church Brunch on Saturday, and tonight I'm going to a fundraiser where they'll be a live band. Should be fun.
There are more trying to eat healthy, and that's a good thing! This weekend we are....ummmmmm, hey, I don't know what we are doing!
I love fruit smoothies and make them all the time. We just bought the Magic Bullet set so now I can make our won homemade salsa too. That thing is incredible.
hope Mr. Hubs won't rebel on the healthy food situation in the house :))
These are great tips. Another way to cut back on salt is to use a little squeeze of lime or lemon in foods like salads and sauces.
Thanks for posting those tips. Those are great. Have a good weekend. I'm hopefully getting stuff done around the house. Oh, and getting our backyard ready for our first garden!
I hope your daughter has a great meet! I remember track meets were always so fun. I hope the weather is good for it!
Hope your daughter's have successful meets! I have never heard of agave necter. I'll need to check that out!
Hungrygirl.com is a great site too...sign up for her newsletter!
We're going to the Clark County Fair. I hope your daughter has a lot of fun running track. I know I did.
I make my own hummus so there's no oil in it... now, what to eat instead of chocolate (sadly there is no substitute for chocolate)
Wow, thanks Susan for all of those tips...I'll have to check out some of your websites you mentioned. Let us know how your daughter does at her track meet!
Thanks for sharing the healthy eating tips! Hope you're having a good weekend.
I just love these pictures of fresh fruits and veggies. They make me want to eat right.
Hi Susan,
I hopped over from Sharon Mayhew's blog since you're the featured friend in her ABC's friend list. Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips. I like the popsicle yogurt idea ;)
I'm a vegetarian so I already eat a lot of veggies and fruits, tofu, and other wonderful vegan recipes. Nice blog you have here ;)
I am officially your latest follower.
Cheers!
Claudia
I hopped over from Sharon's blog - and I LOVE me some green tea! :)
Oooo, you included my healthy tip! I like the others, especially the banana one.
Loved your shout out on Sharon Mayhew's blog.
Today is my 17th wedding anniversary. So we're going to Ipswich, MA for fried native clams. Tonight, he's cooking dinner. Friday night we went out for dinner while my son babysat. It's been a weekend-long celebration.
Wow, what great tips! Nice idea for a post, summing everything up--very helpful.
Sounds like you're having a wonderful and busy weekend! We are, too. :)
Ooooh! These sound so good! A friend of mine is diabetic, and she gave me this tip: take low carb wheat tortillas and cut them in triangles. Spray cooking spray on them an broil for low carb, low salt chips to go with that homemade salsa. Yum.
Thanks for sharing these great tips!
Great tips. I'd like to eat healthier.
