Getting ready to grill this weekend? 🔥 🥩 🌽 Here are some tips for a healthier BBQ menu: ◾Be conscious of your choice of buns A lot of buns can be of little to no nutritional value. Reach for ones that are made from whole grains. This ensures that you’ll have some added fiber and nutrients that a white bun may not provide. If you have diabetes and are watching your carbohydrate intake, use lettuce to wrap your burgers. ◾Choose dry rubs over wet rubs Dry rubs allow more variety with the spices and the flavors you want to cook rather than using pre-made marinades/sauces which typically have more added sugar and salt. ◾Try grilling fruit for a refreshing dessert! Meat doesn’t have to be the only thing on the grill. Try grilling half a peach with the flesh side down until you have your desired grill marks. Top it off with Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey if you want a bit of extra sweetness. #BBQIdeas #PlantBasedRecipes #TorranceMemorial #SummerVibes
