Better Than Store-Bought: Homemade Favorites
by: ffadmin

It’s no secret that store-bought, prepackaged foods are a major source of sodium, sugar, and other additives. But there is a way out!

Steer clear of those traps and stay in control of the food you eat by making your own condiments, dressings, broths, and more! Here are some of our favorite easy-to-make recipes that can replace your usual store-bought items:

1. Broths: Chicken, Beef, and Vegetable broths add flavor and moisture to any dish. We also love to use a bit of broth for a flavorful oil substitute when sautéing.
2. Crackers: Try these Chia Crackers for a crispy snack or dipping utensil.
3. Chips: baked Kale Chips are a crunchy alternative to fried chips. Try them sprinkled with your favorite seasonings!
4. Salad Dressing: Making your own Salad Dressings and Vinaigrettes is so easy. It takes few ingredients and little time!
5. Tomato Sauce: It is traditionally high in sodium, but you won’t even miss the extra salt when you use our Tomato Sauce recipe.
6. Seasoning Mixes: Pre-mixed seasonings can include more salt than you bargained for, but making your own is so easy! Use our All-Purpose Seasoning mix to get you started, and try our Curry Seasoning or Italian Seasoning mixes for something different.
7. Ketchup: This classic condiment often has tons of added sugar (yes, sugar!), so try our Ketchup recipe to avoid unhealthy, sneaky add-ins.
8. Salsa: Delicious as a topping or a dip, homemade Salsa is an easy recipe to make! For something a little different, try our recipe for Tomatillo Salsa.
9. Ice Cream: You don’t have to feel guilty about having a treat with our easy recipe for homemade Ice Cream.
10. Mayonnaise: Store-bought is unnecessary when Mayonnaise is this easy to make!
11. Pickles: A snack that you—and the kids—will love? Our recipe for homemade Pickles is a sure hit.
12. Cranberry Juice: It’s common for juices to be laced with added sugar and mixed with other fruits. But 100% unsweetened Cranberry Juice is an important component in Fat Flush, and is so easy to make!
13. Bread Crumbs: Good in so many recipes, or used as a coating when baking meat in the oven, our recipe makes homemade Bread Crumbs a snap!
