It's fairly simple to incorporate olive oil in your diet...cook with it instead of any other type of oil!
Use it in your salad instead of dressing. (Quantity control, though...be careful...high in calories!)
Make tasty recipes like olive oil granola with other goodies!
I love extra virgin olive oil - even though it does have a fairly high calorie content for what it is, I always try to use it as a salad dressing with vinegar.
ReplyDeleteI always try to cook with olive oil instead of butter because of all the health benefits. I've also heard it's good for your hair!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great points - thanks so much for sharing! :)
