Not all barbecues have to consist of sausages and spare ribs. Fish is a healthy alternative. Try salmon, tuna or sardines. High in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, they are nutritious and ideal for your grill. It’s so easy: grilled fish tastes best pure!
Grilled Bananas
Bananas? Not what you would usually have on your barbecue right? But barbecued bananas are the best way to satisfy your sweet tooth, whilst still providing you with important nutrients. How to barbecue your banana? Cut it in half, fill with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter, wrap in foil and throw on the grill for 5-10 minutes.
Take note: other fruits also taste incredibly good grilled! Try halved nectarines or peaches with cottage cheese.
Let's recap:
Barbecue season doesn't have to mean gorging on an endless supply of fatty red meat. Try switching these tasty, healthy alternatives onto your grill and turn up the heat on summer nutrition!
