Bland diet recipes

If you cannot find fresh peaches, use frozen ones (they will further thicken the smoothie). Peaches were first cultivated in China where they are considered a symbol of immortality and friendship. Nutritionally, they are a good source of selenium and vitamins A and C. Chia seeds are not only a complete protein, but supply the much needed omega-3 fatty acids missing from so many modern diets.

Popular Chinese dish from the Sichuan region containing bean curd cooked in a spicy pepper and black bean sauce. Fermented black beans have long been used to boost digestion and support immune function. The process of fermentation also increases the vitamin B and omega-3 fatty acid content of the beans. Adding fermented foods to one’s diet is one of the best ways of creating a protective environment in the gut against harmful pathogenic bacteria and other organisms.

I LOVE getting fettuccine alfredo at most restaurants, but the jarred stuff always tastes bland and terrible to me. After trying many online recipes, I mixed a few basics and few ideas to find a recipe that was perfect for me and my family. And here it is! We serve our alfredo sauce over fettuccine or tortellini. It's also great to use as a sauce on a homemade veggie pizza or in veggie lasagna. Enjoy!

These no-sugar peanut butter cookies are delicious. Perfect treats when you are on a diet.

Sugar sugar and more sugar is the main ingredient in most cranberry sauces. Following the paleo diet gives you the healthier upper hand for making your own sugar-free sauce with fresh cranberries.

This recipe is very simple to make, but it goes very well, you will know how satisfied it let you feel, great for your diet!

Choose wild salmon to reap the health benefits of this fatty fish. Wild salmon is easily identifiable as its flesh is bright red and contains very little fat (very thin white stripes in the flesh). Since wild salmon swim in the wild eating what nature intended them to eat, their nutritional profile is more complete. Farmed salmon, by comparison, are fed an unnatural diet of soy and corn (never found naturally growing in the ocean!) along with chicken and feather meal. This unnatural diet means that the nutritional content of farmed salmon is markedly different from the wild variety. In particular, its omega-3 fatty acid content is much lower. Farmed salmon also contain a lot more fat (since they can't swim around as freely) and are often carriers of toxic viruses.

I like this recipe and so did the family. Good for those who are on a diet!

This was very good. I prepared the salads individually on salad plates and fanned the pears for a more elegant look.

This rich flavoursome dish originates in the fertile Punjab, a state now divided between India and Pakistan. There is nothing more important to a Punjabi man's diet than bread, and meals are accompanied by flat round cornbread rotis or rich, flaky pan-fried paratha layered with ghee (clarified butter). Rice is reserved for special occasions or for rice pudding, for the only food that makes a Punjabi feel he has eaten a proper meal is his bread! You of course, can serve this dish with plain boiled rice.

I have been trying to cut down the amount of fat in my diet recently, and these applesauce raisin cookies were perfect. The cookies tasted delicious. Replacing butter with applesauce not only cut down the amount of calorie and fat, but it also added extra nutrients. These cookies have become one of my go-to snacks. Thanks for the recipe!
