Healthy Processed Foods?
Pop Sugar asked Dr. Kantor if he could list healthy processed foods
By: Dr. Keith Kantor
There is a time and place for “healthy” processed foods. A healthy processed food is something that has been processed with quality ingredients and should be consumed when there are no whole food options like during travel or when you are on the go.
Healthy Processed Food list
Quality protein powder/ meal replacement shake-
I love NatraTech Superfood Shake
Douglas Labs Klean Athlete Protein
Vega – vegan shake
Nutrition Bars
Epic Bar
Lara
Quest
Kind
Dark Chocolate
An organic low sugar 70% or more cocoa dark chocolate bar can curb cravings for the unhealthy options.
There are several brands on the market I like “Justin’s,” “Black and Green’s,” “Paleo Thin,” etc.
Vegetable Chips
Chips are the most processed foods out there and because of that they are addictive, we like the salty and crunchy qualities of chips. If you want chips try vegetable chips as an alternative. I like Platayuc Organic plantain chips, Inka Crop, Thrive are also good brands for sweet potato chips, etc.
Dips
Fresh vegetables are always better when you have something to dip them in. Hummus and guacamole are great options for dips.
Ice Cream
I enjoy SoDelicious coconut milk no sugar added ice cream, it is dairy free and no sugar. There are several options out there like this that you can enjoy,
