Happy grilling month! While having a barbeque can often lead to unhealthy food choices, you can still make healthier decisions! Opt for grilling fruits like watermelon or pineapple for a delicious and slightly smoky dessert instead of indulging in calorie-laden treats like cookies or ice cream. Seriously! Also, consider leaner meat on the grill like chicken or go meatless with some grilled veggies. Instead of using high-calorie marinades or sugar-filled BBQ sauces, try a sugar-free dry rub for a flavorful alternative with almost no added calories. ![]()
