Since fresh tomatoes aren’t in season this time of the year and pre-made marinara sauce is often loaded with sodium, canned diced tomatoes with no added salt are a healthy solution – and they taste sweet and flavorful all year round. Plus, your body is better able to absorb the antioxidant lycopene in processed and canned tomato varieties.
Ooey-gooey yet surprisingly low in fat and calories, these rich stacks are a heavenly, healthy take on the overly sugary originals. If you can’t find raw cacao nibs, feel free to substitute shaved dark chocolate.

Our frozen “yogurt” bombs don’t include any yogurt at all, but these soy milk and tofu creations come so close to the real thing that your friends and family will never know they’re actually enjoying dairy-free alternatives.

With only five ingredients and a pinch of sea salt, this savoury-sweet fro yo is a decadent yet healthier take on a classic chiller. The avocados lend an extra dose of creamy texture, while skim milk and low-fat yogurt ensure it tastes fattier than it is.
Flank steak is an affordable, lean cut, which benefits from quick cooking. Since it does not have extensive marbling, cooking to medium rare or medium, and slicing thinly against the grain, will result in the most tender texture.
