Seriously, trying to spin too many plates (work, kids, diet, dinner) How are you supposed to slay at the office, be a mom-boss and eat healthy?
Look, when life gets overwhelming, and it always does – these clean eating casserole recipes will save your sanity, budget, and your diet.
Ingredient Swaps That Make Any Casserole Healthy
Clean Eating Pasta & Rice Swaps
The best swaps for white rice are quinoa, cauliflower, brown, or sweet potato rice. Substitute whole wheat, quinoa, or grain-free pasta or use butternut squash, zucchini or spaghetti squash zoodles.
Soup Swaps
Homemade condensed soups are easy to make in minutes, and when you go the DIY soup route you’ll avoid all of the unhealthy, hard to pronounce, unnecessary ingredients that canned soup contains.
Clean Casserole Protein Swaps
Opt for lean ground turkey over ground beef (Grass-fed preferred) – or use a half lentil, half beef combination.
Remember shredding cheese from the block is healthier (pre-shredded comes with more filler and preservatives)
As for cream cheese? I say everything is ok in moderation, but if you prefer a cleaner choice use ricotta, kefir or cottage cheese.
After you experiment with these healthy substitutions, and learn what works for you – you’ll be able to convert all of your favorite casserole recipes into a healthy dinner.
But before you go full out Martha Stewart on a classic, try a few of my favorite healthy versions of the best casseroles for dinner.
