Healthy Oils

Having difficulty getting in the two teaspoons of Healthy Oils from the Good Health Guidelines? Here are 27 ways...

Healthy Oils = Olive, Canola, Sunflower, Safflower, Flaxseed (2 tsp per day)

1. The only one that has a taste is Olive, so the others can be put into a smoothie, oatmeal, etc.

2. Fry an egg sandwich

3. Stir fry veggies

4. Add to pasta while cooking

5. Add to canned green beans (Cracker Barrel does it!)

6. Fried potatoes! Buy frozen hash browns where the ingredients say "potatoes" only

7. Pour a teaspoon of flaxseed oil on a baked potato or other veggies. It has a
nutty flavor.

8. Rub a teaspoon of olive oil on chicken or fish before baking. No more dried out chicken.

9. Grill cheese sandwich by putting a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet, put in your bread & cheese sandwich, grill one side and then add another teaspoon of oil and grill the other side.

10. Mix 2 tsp olive oil, 2 tsp red wine vinegar and package of Splenda-great salad dressing.

11. Blend it into mashed potatoes- it may take a little longer than adding butter.

12. Add the oil to the water when making rice.

13. Drizzle over roasted veggies in the oven

14. Drizzle olive oil over a Smart One Pizza. It tastes like pizza from a restaurant!

15. Drizzle on sliced tomatoes with a little Italian seasoning

16. Mix olive oil, Italian seasoning and garlic salt, then dip your light wheat bread in it.

17. Sauté spinach in olive oil

18. Add 2 tsp to fat free Italian dressing for your salad

19. Spread on bread, sprinkle garlic powder and toast in toaster oven

20. Drizzle it over popcorn

21. Add to a serving of the Garden Vegetable soup

22. Add to plain non-fat yogurt (great for core planners)

23. Cook egg whites in it

24. Another salad dressing: 2 tsp canola oil, vinegar (rice is good), dash of
celery salt

25. Spread on corn on the cob

26. Add 2 tsp of oil to a bowl and grind some fresh pepper into it. Dip bread into it - like the starters you get at some Italian restaurants...

27. Add oil to the outside of a baked potato and bake in the oven.
