9. Flatbread vs lettuce
It’s not a perfect substitute, but giving up on carbs in favor of fresh lettuce every once in a while is a good decision anyway. Any sandwich becomes healthier if you replace the bread with a lettuce leaf. This way, you can increase the number of nutrients in your favorite snack. In my house, there is no bread at all, and I have long been accustomed to making sandwiches with lettuce and realized that it’s really tasty.
10. Oatmeal vs quinoa
Both quinoa and oatmeal are healthy and belong in a balanced and healthy diet. But they have a few differences: a cup of quinoa contains 8 grams of protein, while the same amount of oatmeal contains only 6 grams.
Quinoa also outperforms oatmeal in protein quality and contains more fiber. Therefore, to make your diet more varied, you can replace oatmeal porridge with quinoa porridge.
