Make Healthy Substitutions

Hello Beloved! Last week we launched a 5 week journey, exploring how and why we feed our bodies. The first stop along our journey invited us to make a week long meal plan, representative of our current eating practices. We planned everything--breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and beverages. This week's tip and call to action is to MAKE healthy substitutions. However, before we can identify what we will change, we must first take note of what is, i.e. reflect.

Your Turn
Step 1
Considering the meal plan you made and what you actually ate, answer the following questions:

1. What kind of proteins are you eating?
2. What kind of vegetables are you eating?
3. What kind of grains are you eating?
4. What kind of fruits are you eating?
5. What kind of dairy are you eating?
6. What kind of oils are you using?

Step 2
Select one food group (proteins, vegetables, grains, fruits, dairy or oils) and use the resources below to help you make some healthy substitutions:

Happy temple building!

Take care. Bless many.
