My favorite macro-friendly recipes

These are some of my favorite repeat recipes in our household! I do make adjustments to many of these to make them fit my macros. My usual substitutions:

• cheese = laughing cow cream cheese wedges or low fat shredded mozzarella or nutritional yeast as topping

• pasta or noodles = spaghetti squash, butternut squash, zoodles, cauliflower, palmini heart of palm noodles or shirataki noodles. My favorites are skinny noodles “ramen” style and Lokarb noodles.

• Rice = cauliflower

• Granulated sugar = swerve

• Maple syrup = Sugar free syrup

• butter = butter extract

• Egg = egg whites and water

• peanut butter = PB2 powder

• tortillas or wraps = Joseph’s lavash or pita bread

• corn starch = xanthum gum

• ice cream = yasso bars or nick’s ice cream
