It\u2019s May and you know what that means…National BBQ Month!\u00a0 Summer is right around the corner, and with it comes pool parties, backyard get-togethers and of course, BBQs.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let these good times with friends and family derail your healthy diet- there\u2019s lots of ways to incorporate healthy elements into your potluck and BBQ dishes.\u00a0 Try out one of our healthy alternatives next time you cook out and be the (healthiest) star of your neighborhood BBQ!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Throw some Fruits and Vegetables on the Grill<\/b><\/p>\n

While the meat of the BBQ is usually center stage, don\u2019t forget about your fruits and vegetables!\u00a0 Many can be thrown on the grill right alongside your meat and are quite tasty with the added char from the grill.\u00a0 Anything from peppers and carrots to peaches and pineapple- you\u2019d be amazed at how many fruits and vegetables you can grill.\u00a0 Check out this website<\/a> for some great tips on how to make the best grilled produce with the richest flavors.<\/p>\n

2. Make Your Own Sauce<\/b><\/p>\n

Often times, the unhealthiest part of any BBQ is the sauce.\u00a0 Most classic BBQ sauce recipes are loaded with sugar and sodium and they aren\u2019t doing any favors for your attempts at a healthy diet.\u00a0 But don\u2019t let that discourage you from enjoying some delectable sauce with your Q- make your own healthy sauce at home!\u00a0 You control exactly which healthy ingredients make the cut, and you can even experiment with new flavors.\u00a0 This website<\/a> has some great healthy homemade BBQ sauces.\u00a0 Give one a try and we promise it\u2019ll be even better than the classic stuff.<\/p>\n

3. Try Healthy Substitutions<\/b><\/p>\n

There are tons of substitutions you can make to classic BBQ dishes to make them healthier.\u00a0\u00a0 Use whole grain mustard and homemade relish on your burgers instead of yellow mustard and mayonnaise. \u00a0Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in your potato salad- or better yet, replace it all together with a big bowl of fruit salad!\u00a0 Skip the sugary lemonade and serve fresh fruit water.\u00a0 Get creative!\u00a0 How many more healthy substitutions can you think of?<\/p>\n

4. Bring Nutritious Sides<\/b><\/p>\n

To some, the sides are the best part of any BBQ.\u00a0 Serve up delicious sides while boosting your friends\u2019 nutrition by making side dishes with healthy ingredients.\u00a0 There are so many delicious fruits and vegetables in season<\/a> during the summer- highlight them in your sides!\u00a0 A big green salad, light cole slaw or homemade salsa are all great examples of sides that are not only healthy, but will also be the hit of the party!\u00a0 This website<\/a> has some more healthy examples.<\/p>\n

5. BBQ Fish<\/b><\/p>\n

While classic BBQ mostly consists of beef and pork, why not shake things up by BBQing some fish?\u00a0 Salmon and cod both make for delicious BBQ that will keep your guests full and happy, and the healthy Omega 3s will keep your heart happy too.\u00a0 Who knows?\u00a0 You may even like it better than steak!<\/p>\n

How do you maintain your healthy diet during BBQ season?\u00a0 Let us know in the comments!<\/i>
