]]> If you’re looking to get healthier, it’s important to eat high-quality foods. But, how much you’re eating is just as relevant and when you eat healthy foods, it’s really easy to eat too much of it without realizing that you’re overdoing the recommended portion size. These foods are the ones to watch out for when trying to follow portion sizes.

Avocado

We can’t seem to get enough avocado, but did you know the portion size of avocados is 1/3 to 1/5 of a medium-sized avocado? Avocados can be found in almost any foods these days from brownies to toast and you need to keep in mind that they’re high in monosaturated fats. One medium-sized avocado is 234 calories!

Fruit Smoothies

When you order a smoothie at a shop they usually come in 20-ounces or more, but the portion size is about half of that. Smoothies have tons of nutrients, but they’re high in sugar and calories.

I prepare fresh almond milk for my children‘s breakfast almost every morning. With the leftover almond milk, I prepare a fruit smoothie, this one is made with almond milk, banana, and strawberries. The leftover pulp from straining the almond milk, gets blended with banana and a little water and dehydrated into sweet chapatis. . . . . . #rawvegan #rawfoods #rawfood #yoga #rohkost #healthyfood #crudivore #eattherainbow #cancerprevention #fullyraw #rawvegansofig #veganism #plantbased #foodasmedicine #plantbaseddiet #diet #rawveganfoodshare #rawvegandiet #joywithrawfood #sugarfree #vegansofig #veganfood #vegan #vegetarian #veganfoodshare #rawveganfood #plantpowered #saltfreerawfood #vegansofaustralia #crudivegano

Granola

A breakfast staple, granola is high in calories and fat, plus, most store-bought versions have tons of added sugar. The recommended portion size is 1/3-1/4 cup, which is way less than filling your entire cereal bowl.

Frozen Yogurt & Ice Cream

It’s important to note that not all frozen yogurt is healthier than ice cream. When you go to an ice cream shop, they come with 2-4 scoops or 1-2 cups, which is way more than the recommended portion size of 1 scoop or 1/2 cup.

Olive Oil

Olive oil has tons of health benefits and it’s packed with healthy fats, but if you use olive oil in your salads, pasta, or for cooking, you need to pay attention to how much you are adding. The recommended portion size is one tablespoon which has 120 calories and it adds up quickly when you’re dousing your food in it.

]]> Most people say if you want to be healthier, swap out white rice for brown. But, is that really true? If you are a rice lover and are contemplating switching from white to brown, consider these facts before you do.

Nutritional Values

When it comes to calories there are only very slight differences between the two kinds of rice. Brown rice has about 110 calories per 100 grams of rice, while white rice has a bit more, about 130. The difference between the two when it comes to fiber is that brown rice has 2 grams of fiber while white rice only has 0.5g. This is because white rice is stripped and processed more than brown rice.

Glycemic Index

The glycemic index tells us how long the sugars and carbs in food will keep us going, but again, there isn’t that big of a difference. When it comes to carbs, white rice has 27 grams and brown rice has slightly less at 23g. This makes white rice higher on the index and therefore won’t give you long-lasting energy, but brown rice is only slighter lower by 10 or 20 points.

Both rices really aren’t all that different, but technically brown rice is slightly better for you. If you’re really into swapping out foods for healthier alternatives, the best option is to actually pick a different grain that will give you fewer carbs and more energy throughout your day.
