Bored With the Same Old Healthy Foods? It’s Time To Make Them Sing!

September 6, 2022 by Alison Leave a Comment

Working hard to improve your diet when you’ve been on a bad run is one of those things that feels like a major challenge. We all know we need to have a well-balanced and nourishing diet, but the problem is we feel that when we get into the habit of eating certain salads and grilled chicken, boredom sets in, which means disaster is around the corner. This is why we’ve got to make healthy eating far more interesting. How do we do this?

Experiment with Spices and Herbs

If you are looking for a way to improve your health kick, you’ve got to remember that flavor is the key. When you start adding depth of flavor to vegetables, for example, by using a variety of herbs and spices like curry powder, it’s going to be far more interesting. This is why you could start to develop a variety of sauces to make your fish and vegetables zing! This homemade chimichurri sauce is one example; there are plenty of herbs and spices in the mix, but it is also good for you. When there’s a variety of spices, herbs, and sauces on offer, it can make bland meals more entertaining.

More Zesting

Citrus fruits like lemons and limes can add a lot to a whole variety of meat, dressings, and much more. Having the right zesting equipment will make a big difference here. It pays to experiment. For example, zest from limes is a perfect way to make a dish spicier. But oranges are going to be more suited to fish like salmon. When you start to bake meats and fish in the oven with a slice of lemon or orange on them, it starts to infuse the flavor, therefore making it far more interesting.

Create Salad Dressings and Marinades

If you like your salads and they are working for you, but you are sick to death of the same old flavor, this is where you’ve got to start adding an extra bit of zing to your dishes. The great thing about salad dressings is that there’s a huge variety of options available to you to take inspiration from. Learn from the big salad dressings out there, like honey and mustard, and start to create your own unique spin on them. All you need is a mason jar, some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and your herbs of choice, and you can easily shake a new marinade into life.

Look at Your Nutrient Quotient (and Think Differently)

If you are trying to make healthy foods more interesting, it’s not just about the things you already eat. For most people, it’s about finding the right dishes that work for them. But if you are aiming to hit a certain amount of calories or the foods you are eating aren’t working for you, why don’t you find a similar collection of foods that will make things more interesting? There’s a variety of vegan foods like tofu that can easily be just as tasty as chicken.

Healthy eating can be a chore, but it doesn’t have to be! Try some of these and see how it works for you.
