Looking to eat healthier but having problems finding substitutions for foods that you love? Check out this SWAP FOODS Infographic …. Just swap THIS for THAT. It’s as easy as that!
Nut milk is high in beneficial fats, high in calcium, easier on your digestion, better for your thighs and super tasty.
Raw cacao is chocolate in its pure unadulterated form and it’s a nutrition packed superfood!
Coconut water is a much better choice. It’s been hyped up recently for a reason – it’s full of electrolytes, is naturally hydrating, it’s super high in potassium, it’s alkalising… the list of benefits is lengthy.
Coffee messes with your adrenals big time, blocks absorption of certain minerals and wreaks havoc on your immune system. A great substitute is roasted dandelion and chicory root tea. Plus, it’s something different.
When it comes to cooking, coconut oil is the only oil we use at Just Add Good Stuff. It has a high smoke point, which means that it doesn’t turn rancid upon heating (unlike most other plant oils – even olive oil). If you even come close to burning anything but coconut oil, it will release tonnes of harmful free radicals into your food.
Mung Bean Pasta, Black Bean Pasta or Quinoa & Brown Rice Pasta are all healthier than bleached white pasta which has little to no nutritional value.
As with white pasta, white rice has also been stripped of its nutrients leaving nothing but a white carb that becomes sugar as soon as it hits your mouth. Brown rice or black rice (even better) is the stuff your body is after when it comes to nutrients.
For a grain to be white it means it’s had all of its nutrients stripped away. Choose a whole grain like rye, spelt or oat instead.
Cow’s cheese comes under the same umbrella as cow’s milk. A much healthier alternative is cheese made from nuts.
Choose from raw honey, maple syrup, coconut nectar, yacon syrup, stevia or dates.
There’s no way we’re giving up desserts! So, raw desserts are made of ingredients like nuts, seeds, oats, almond meal, coconut, cacao, dates, avocado, chia seeds and other super foods that are much healthier than traditional desserts.

Great infographic about how to grow your own nutritious sprouts! SOAK + SPROUT Infographic shows you how long to soak and how long it takes to sprout various things.
Seeds, nuts, grains and beans are covered in chemicals called enzyme inhibitors which prevent premature germination and store nutrients for plant growth. When humans consume these chemicals, they reduce the absorption of important minerals and proteins causing nutrient deficiencies and other health issues. Soaking and sprouting bypasses this issue as it activates the seed and neutralises the inhibitors.
For more about the high nutritional content of sprouts, please read our previous blog post here.
