Creamy Sauce Recipes
It is not easy to have a healthy diet, particularly if one is eating out most of the time. One mistake that is generally made is in respect of sauces – if one chooses the wrong sauce in a restaurant, then it could make a huge difference to your calorie intake - on the other hand, if you are sensible and choose a low calorie sauce in a restaurant or try out low calorie creamy sauce recipes at home, it could turn out to be very satisfying since it would be tasty and you will not be experiencing pangs of conscience that you are taking in far greater calories than what a healthy body needs. Whether you are making a sauce for a party or for your regular meal at home or choosing a sauce when dining outside, one can be sensible and make the right choices.
There are some things which would be useful to remember when it comes to making healthy sauces at home:
It would be sensible to avoid creamy sauce recipes as that for sure would be rich in calories.
Restaurateurs would love to put toppings of creamy sauces on pastas and entrees since they are enticing, look good, scrumptious, are filling and satisfying. If you are eating out it would make sense to remember the names of typical creamy sauces which are rich in calories like hollandaise sauce, Alfredo, béarnaise, carbonara and those which are described as creamy or based in butter. It would be useful to remember that even the sour cream which is poured on baked potatoes or what is also used as a decorative soup topping is a no-no as far as calories go. Other things to remember would be to go slow on turkey gravy since the gravy contains a lot of calories - what would be a sensible option would be to order the turkey and the gravy separately so that you can keep a tab of how much gravy you are having. If you order baked fish, it would be good to choose to dip that in tomato ketchup or cocktail sauce, you could also opt for salmon sauce recipes but not tartar sauce as that would be a disaster if you are trying to keep a check on your calorie intake.
Creamy sauce recipes should have skimmed or Soya mild in place of cream if you wish to have a healthy sauce. If you wish to add bit more body to the creamy sauce recipes, then it would be better to use a dry milk powder or yoghurt which is low in fat.
