CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y.The health coach and owner of Sip the Nectar Yoga and Health Coaching in Croton has put together some healthy Fourth of July recipes that dont involve sacrificing that hotdog youve been craving all summer.
Its about balance, said Solange LaBonne.
LaBonne says its alright to eat the foods we know are not the best for us, but have a salad first or add anything green onto your plate.
The United States Department of Agriculture has rearranged the food pyramid to now have a four section plate, with vegetables taking up the largest portion.
LaBonnes recipes for the holiday will refresh and satisfy without leaving you feel cheated.
Red, White and Blue Fruit BitesFreeze blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or watermelon and serve with organic vanilla frozen yogurt or blend all together into freezer pop molds and freeze until hard before serving. Lemon-Fennel Slaw 2 small fennel bulbs, quartered and cored salt to taste 1/2 small red onion freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon fresh dill juice of 2 lemons Slice the fennel and onion as thin as possible. Toss the fennel and onion with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped dill. This is better done in advance so the flavors can marinate together.
Grilled SalmonRub salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for three to four minutes on each side. This recipe can also be made in a 350 degree oven for five minutes, broiling for one minute to finish it off.
