National Burger Month vs. National Salad Month
In a cruel twist of fate, the month of May manages to be both National Burger Month and National Salad Month. While some people may view this as a meal showdown (fast food vs. healthy food, high caloric vs. low caloric, unhealthy vs. healthy), we’re here to remind you that you can celebrate both without choosing between your taste buds and your waistline!
To make a lean, healthy hamburger be sure to choose your meat carefully, substitute low-calorie options when possible, watch your side dishes, and cook them in a healthy way.
When it comes to preparing a delicious salad it’s important to remember that all toppings and dressings are not created equal. Two tablespoons of Kraft Ranch Dressing will set you back 148 calories, while the same amount of Newman’s Own Balsamic is only 90 calories. Make sure your salad is healthy (and tasty) by throwing in a variety of veggies, textures, and proteins.
