Healthy alternative to ice cream: Cut 2 bananas (or however many) into chunks and freeze overnight. Once they're frozen, blend them up with some soy milk/almond milk/whatever milk you want, some sugar, cocoa powder. Voila! Chocolate and banana ice cream! You can use any flavourings with the banana, this is just what I use!
+Helen Anderson I love and watch all your videos big fan so this is only constructive criticism, but u do know that eggs are absolutely packed with cholesterol making them extremely unhealthy in fact one egg a day can kill u just as fast as smoking and not to mention (it's a hen period) and free range or not thousands of adorable baby chickies have to be brutality slaughtered just because male chicks can't produce eggs obviously because men don't have periods.
What I love about Helen is she doesn't fuck about. Straight in it with the video, no long introduction, straight to the point. Fucking awesome. Love you Helen
I rarely comment but felt like I had to regarding all the egg stuff. I am vegan and yes, I am grossed out by eggs HOWEVER!! I am so pleased to see Helen promoting healthier meals using vegetarian foods! This will encourage over 500,000 subscribers to eat less meat and that's a great step into the right direction. I started out as a vegetarian and took my time before going vegan and I'm glad I did as I may have never gone completely vegan. I think when vegans get angry at non-vegans it can discourage people who want to make an ethical change because they think all vegans are the same. We're not! :) Helen thank you for promoting healthy eating without using meat!
I could not agree more!! She's making a really positive step in the right direction. Veganism doesn't happen overnight in most cases. It took me 3 months to go fully vegan after being veggie all my life. Best thing I ever did! We should support!! Xx
+Demetra Roumana of course, I completely see where you're coming from. I just thought it was awesome that Helen was promoting healthier meals using veg alternatives to such a large amount of people, whether her meals inspires them to cut out meat a few times a week or even completely is up to them. Hope I don't seem rude or anything, I'm really not looking for a fight :)
That's not what I meant - I just told her even healthier alternative, not recommending vegan lifestyle to her. If she is or isn't vegan doesn't affect my life so I'm just going to let her eat whatever she wants without ranting about it (like many others).
a healthy alternative to the eggs in the fry up recipe is tofu scramble - you just cut tofu into small pieces (I prefer silken for this), plop it in the pan and mix it around like you would scrambled egg, adding any spices you prefer (turmeric will turn it yellow and pepper is good too). It tastes great mixed with onion, mushroom and tomatoes too :)
Thank you Helen, I was vegetarian for a long time then with depression I stopped, this has really boosted me to do it again and be the best person I can be. I love your channel, my life wouldn't be complete without watching it as you are amazing. I love you that thank you so much xx
A tip for making the curry, add in the spices prior to adding in a liquid. The spices need to be "toasted" slightly to bring their flavour out properly, it also makes it so there's a less grainy texture in the end result. :)
+syerra lynn That would be incredible! She would set such a good example for her young viewers. But she's already a huge inspiration, that would just be the icing on the (eggless) cake. ;)
CapriceHolford she's not saying that Helen is a bad example, she's just saying that if Helen were to promote veganism it would be amazing for the community and for all the people that watch her channel and are influenced by her. No need to get offended by a simple comment like that because its 2016 and everyone's offended by everything, in her comment she even specifically says that she is already a great example.
Loved the ideas! Even as a vegan, I can use some of these WITHOUT the non vegan items. I loved that you have found the fruit syrup out because I have been preaching about it since FOREVER!!!!!!! It's so good! In regards to the vegans commenting, please understand that as a community we are incredibly passionate because we really really care about the world, more than you know. Forgive us, it's a habit. Unless anyone has lived a life without meat, eggs or diary you won't understand. But Helen, this is awesome! Love how dedicated you are getting 😝
i was a vegan for a very long time. i still didnt attack others or push my beliefs on nom vegans. i had respect for everyone. if they asked, i gave the information. but i didnt harrass them or acted like i was better than non vegans. passionate or not, there is no excuse for being an asshole... (this isnt directed at you, more at the "if youre not vegan you dont understand" and the "passionate" comment)
+Katherine Sillaman I don't even regard vegans who act like ass holes to others as vegans. It's all about compassion. Sorry to hear you stopped being vegan :(
+Jorgie Bain for me, it was a bit too expensive. i do try to eat clean though and eat less meat and dairy products. one day when i have the money, id like to go vegan again, or at least vegetarian with minimal animal bi products and eat ethically
+john580 in my area, organic foods are more expensive than ones that are grown with pesticides and other chemicals etc. other "vegan" foods are also more expensive in my area. i have come from a one income household that needs to feed 4 people, so buying organic, cruelty free and vegan products can really add up. some people dont find it expensive, in my case for the amount of money my family is making, it is.
Absolutely LOVING the vegetarian options Helen!! It's good to see people with such a fan base spreading goodness, such as the variety of food vegetarians can eat and it's cruelty free (apart from the dairy) :))) I cook similar things already for myself, but cannot wait to try everything else out!xx
I try to eat vegan as much as possible just Jesus people lay off her. Helen is a mega sweetheart, she tries so DAMN HARD, seeing comments saying shit about her breaks my heart!
Everybody needs to get off her ass. Just because you are on a strict vegan diet does not mean she has to be. I think these recipes are amazing and yes, some people may change certain things depending on their lifestyle, but how you choose to do it is amazing too! Loved the video and will definitely try out these healthy alternatives!! 💙💙💙
+Ben Holmes 😂you do your research mate. There full of cholesterol and fat. Not to mention it's an hens menstrual cycle. Would you eat your moms periods? Then why you eating an animals
+john580 Cholesterol and fat are not bad for you, you need cholesterol to make many vital hormones like testosterone and its a vital molecule for the body, its in every cell of the body. 85% of the cholesterol we use is made by the liver itself anyway, so to say that dietary cholesterol is bad for you shows how little you know about the subject. Dietary cholesterol does not raise blood cholesterol by any margin, so even if it was bad for you, consuming cholesterol wouldnt be damaging to your health. Im not even going to comment on the hens munstrual cycle remark because it clearly wasnt an intellectual one. Being vegan is a valid life choice if its basis is in ethical reasons but for the purpose of improving ones nutrition it is 100% inferior to an animal based high fat low carb diet.
hey helen! Sorry for all the negative comments from vegans, we arnt all like that! Sometimes people can be a little rude. It's great to see that you have started to cut down meat! Love your videos and the effort you put into them :) xx
I really liked the recommendations on this vid, they felt quite realistic & achievable (although I can't do banana pancakes for toffee so hats off for that!) really want to try the curry! It looked so good!
+Roberta I know, I've been vegan for two years. However, I think we should encourage any positive movement whether it be someone reducing their meat intake or being vegetarian. We're not going to encourage people towards veganism if we're just out-rightly rude about the fact she has used eggs.
You actually don't need the eggs for the pancakes. Use oats, almond milk (or any milk alternative of your choice), banana and baking powder. Spare yourself the cholesterol and fat of the eggs. Tadaaaaaa.
+Naomi Mai I made vegan brownies today, instead of using dairy use any plant based milk ( I used soya) and then coconut oil or vegetable oil mixed with the flour, cocoa powder etc etc
The number of people commenting telling you what not to eat is ridiculous. Nothing more than preachy vegans. You do you, Helen, I for one am dying to try that curry recipe!!!
Then don't label the video "healthy" ain't nothing healthy about eating eggs. As Helens trying to lose weight and is exercising abit of guidance and information can help her a lot, she's doesn't have to go "vegan" a small changed can make a big difference
+john580 Once again you are talking complete and utter nonsense. For the record eggs are saturated fat. And saturated fat is not bad for you. Honestly go look at the literature on this and you will see you're completely wrong.
To make these even healthier I'd skip all exess oil (and eggs, those are reeeaally bad for you, basically a cholesterol bomb). I use baking sheets in the oven and a splash of water on the pan when frying stuff :)
+Annika Nygrén Eggs are actually really good for you. They have been scientifically proven to raise good cholesterol in the body and are rich in antioxidants :)
Kafreen nah I've done my research. E.g. vegans are the only people who's cholesterol is on the healthy level, everyone elses on average is above the limit and vegans are the only ones who don't consume eggs. The human body doesn't need any extra cholesterol, our body makes enough by itself (not trying to be rude btw!)
Studies have also shown that they cause a higher of heart disease and diabetes so it's not really a good idea to be eating them... Not trying to be annoying or anything, just telling you what I know :)
Awesome that you made some vegan and vegetarian foods! Also I like that you're not afraid to eat carbs! Carbs are totally our friends, especially when we're trying to get healthy or lose weight. :D
Great video Helen :) I really enjoyed it. I was just wondering if there was a replacement for the eggs in the brownies ? I'd really like to try them but I don't eat eggs. Thanks x
The pancake recipe looks banging! I usually have strawberries and pancakes for breakfast on my birthday as a treat, will give your recipe a go - it all looks so delish!
When you cook curry (or simmilar stuff), add the curry powder/curry paste before the passata, so that they fry a bit. That way it's more fragrant and yummy ;)
Vegetarian!!! Right on girl!!! I'm dying to try out that vegan curry! YUM!! I personally don't eat eggs or dairy, but apple sauce and/or flaxseed with water are great substitutes for eggs - and of course vegan cheese! Yummy 💕
Like the pancake idea. when I was in the Army I ate 5-6 pounds of food a day. Now I dont need that and it helps to lay off the unnecessary Carbs, Totally trying that one.
Love these ideas! Perfect for normal people who can't afford super expensive health foods and are trying to improve their diet, these approaches will work so much better in having a healthier and happier lifestyle in the long run than being miserable after failing a drastic fad diet! 🙌 xx
Bean/lentil burgers are a great source of protein as well but are healthier than quorn because they don't usually contain eggs. Most supermarkets have their own cheap versions as well :)
I've seen a recipe with almond flour, almond milk baking powder and agave/maple syrup. Almond flower is pretty expensive though. Honestly, whole wheat flower, baking powder, milk alternative and agave/stevia, that's how I make my vegan pancakes and it's just as fine. There is nothing wrong with eating carbs, as long as they are loaded with nutritional benefits (whole wheat).
You can mix 30g oats with a pot of yoghurt, leave for overnight in the fridge then add an egg and then fry like pancakes. Sticks to the pan a bit so you need a good pan but taste like pancakes x
The oats aren't even neccesary in that recipe, I used to do those exact same pancakes before turning vegan but just with a banana and two eggs. But adding oats in those is actually really smart, adding fiber is always good
So impressed with these recipes! I remember seeing your what I eat in a day and thinking 'oh dear lord' at all the meat haha! But the fact that you're incorporating loads more veggie options these days is so nice to see and the food looks incredible!!!
+Martina Makek It's actually healthier to leave the skin on as a lot of the nutrients are stored underneath it and if you boil them without the skin water soluble vitamins can get lost. You just have to be careful if there are green parts on the potato as they can be harmful if consumed in large quantities
Martina Makek I'm not an expert but as potatos grow underground there shouldn't be too much of an issue with excessive pesticides on the sein. But wash them thoroughly beforehand and buy organic if that's your biggest concern
Oh SHUT UP. I love eggs. I'm vegetarian and it's amazing protein. Obviously don't eat like five a day but one a day is fine. So many professional nutritionists on here it seems!!!!!! 😒😒 Helen all these made me so Hungry especially the fry up. Glad to see you going veggie!!! Loved this video ❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜
I loved everything about this! I am a vegetarian so I'm sooooo pleased with this video. Also I'm a huge fan of Thai curries and sweet potatoes so I will be making a lot of these recipes :)
Coconut oil is also not natural, as you need to extract it from the coconut. Eating avocados or eating nuts or eating a coconut, for example, thats the only way to eat "natural" oil/fat. Fat in its natural form. Coconut oil might be perceived as healthy, but it is just as unnatural as a slice of cheese, because both are processed foods. Did you maybe mean healthy oil?
thanks helen, I'm struggling on my diet with knowing what new things to eat and this helped me out so much :D cant wait to try that fry up alternative!
Although these recipes sound pretty good, I wouldn't necessarily say that low calorie cooking spray is healthy. I would just use olive oil or sunflower oil instead, they're much more natural.
Healthy alternative to ice cream: Cut 2 bananas (or however many) into chunks and freeze overnight. Once they're frozen, blend them up with some soy milk/almond milk/whatever milk you want, some sugar, cocoa powder. Voila! Chocolate and banana ice cream! You can use any flavourings with the banana, this is just what I use!
Definitely trying that one out
+Riley Hart it's amazing, trust me!
you can also just freeze banana chunks and blend them without adding anything else and you get really nice banana ice cream
All of these look awesome! I particularly liked the use of "then ya gonna wanna"
Drinking game: take a shot every time Helen says 'low calorie cooking spray'
Bahahahaha I thought that too!!!
The 'fry up' looks absolutely amazing, definitely gonna try that out 😍
Yaaaay!!

+ailidh welsh Everything you said is so wrong 😂😂😂 Do some research 👍🏻
+MissMAC Saffy yah I don't think she knows that there's are certain chickens that lay eggs that were supposed to eat 😂😂
What I love about Helen is she doesn't fuck about. Straight in it with the video, no long introduction, straight to the point. Fucking awesome. Love you Helen

moral of the story... Use non-fat cooking spray.
Ha! Exactly what I was thinking.
I highly recommend trying beetroot burgers! They're quite easy to make and are 100% vegan. (: Also they taste absolutely delicious!
That's not what I meant - I just told her even healthier alternative, not recommending vegan lifestyle to her. If she is or isn't vegan doesn't affect my life so I'm just going to let her eat whatever she wants without ranting about it (like many others).

This was so inspiring, thanks girl!
you're so close to being vegan! make the change Helen!!! your body and the animals will love you for it!
+syerra lynn I hiiiighly agreeee
Yesssss. Being vegan is amazing af.
+syerra lynn That would be incredible! She would set such a good example for her young viewers. But she's already a huge inspiration, that would just be the icing on the (eggless) cake. ;)
i went vegan this year, Carli bybel did, so many big names are going plant based and it makes me so happy! make 2016 the year of the vegan!
CapriceHolford she's not saying that Helen is a bad example, she's just saying that if Helen were to promote veganism it would be amazing for the community and for all the people that watch her channel and are influenced by her.

my mum makes something similar to the brownies but calls it her magic bean cake. but i definitely want to try yours, they look so good!
To make this even healthier you can cook the veggies with water!!
Absolutely LOVING the vegetarian options Helen!! It's good to see people with such a fan base spreading goodness, such as the variety of food vegetarians can eat and it's cruelty free (apart from the dairy) :))) I cook similar things already for myself, but cannot wait to try everything else out!xx
Will you please do more videos like this because all of this looks freaking delicious!! Love you!
i really loved how this was filmed, so aesthetically pleasing omg i'm so hungry now
Is that spray oil healthy.? I've no idea. It always smells like pva glue to me 😃
I try to eat vegan as much as possible just Jesus people lay off her. Helen is a mega sweetheart, she tries so DAMN HARD, seeing comments saying shit about her breaks my heart!

It's not about being on a "strict vegan diet" the title of the video is misleading. There's so many eggs in these recipes which are not healthy.
That is incorrect pal, do your research. You're misleading people saying eggs are unhealthy.

+Roberta vegetarian and vegan are different things, lol
+Roberta veggie means vegetarian, yeah :)
gaston ate 5 dozen eggs and he was the size of a barge. I want to look like him.
What software do you use for your editing? It looks amazing
You actually don't need the eggs for the pancakes. Use oats, almond milk (or any milk alternative of your choice), banana and baking powder. Spare yourself the cholesterol and fat of the eggs. Tadaaaaaa.
Couldn't agree more. Vegan pancakes are stunning :)
I must try these ! Thank you :) Is there a replacement for the eggs in the brownies ?
+Naomi Mai I made vegan brownies today, instead of using dairy use any plant based milk ( I used soya) and then coconut oil or vegetable oil mixed with the flour, cocoa powder etc etc
I'm not into bananas is their an alternative?? Thanks!!!
+Mariah Phillips Thank you :) Can you recommend a recipe ? x
My coworker brought in black bean brownies one day and they were actually pretty delicious!
Love it! You're totally right - treats that are healthier than the norm but still yum!
The number of people commenting telling you what not to eat is ridiculous. Nothing more than preachy vegans. You do you, Helen, I for one am dying to try that curry recipe!!!
Then don't label the video "healthy" ain't nothing healthy about eating eggs. As Helens trying to lose weight and is exercising abit of guidance and information can help her a lot, she's doesn't have to go "vegan" a small changed can make a big difference
+john580 seems like someone needs to learn the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats!
+poeticchances fat is fat. Stay away from the hen periods guys. Would you eat your own period? So why you eating a hens?
+john580 You clearly don't know a thing. Unsaturated fats are actually quite good for you.

Shhhhhhhhh

Awesome that you made some vegan and vegetarian foods! Also I like that you're not afraid to eat carbs! Carbs are totally our friends, especially when we're trying to get healthy or lose weight. :D
Can you do more cooking videos? The food in your vlogs always looks so good!!!
Low-cal cooking spray: the drinking game.
Great video Helen :) I really enjoyed it. I was just wondering if there was a replacement for the eggs in the brownies ? I'd really like to try them but I don't eat eggs. Thanks x
Ground flax or chia seed + water or 'egg replacer' or apple sauce or banana.
+Nali Singh Thank you :)
Your videos are such high quality... Filming & editing is really nice 👌🏻
Which filter do you use on this video? :)
I loved this video!!! Have been trying to find something like this for a really long time!
The pancake recipe looks banging! I usually have strawberries and pancakes for breakfast on my birthday as a treat, will give your recipe a go - it all looks so delish!
all of these look so good, definately trying them all out.. thank you!
These all look amazing :D
Especially the curry, quorn chicken burger and the brownies!
all the food looks soo good! I'm gonna try all of these out.
It was absolutely beautiful. I was fed up with the ordinary "healthy snacks or foods" videos. Thank you! 💜
When you cook curry (or simmilar stuff), add the curry powder/curry paste before the passata, so that they fry a bit. That way it's more fragrant and yummy ;)
Have to try these out!! Especially the curry and brownies 😊 great video! X
Is this recipe on your blog? I'd love to see a recipe!
The curry looks really yummy I want to make it :3 can you tell me again what the ingredients are ☺ im going to make for my dad and I 😊
Vegetarian!!! Right on girl!!! I'm dying to try out that vegan curry! YUM!! I personally don't eat eggs or dairy, but apple sauce and/or flaxseed with water are great substitutes for eggs - and of course vegan cheese! Yummy 💕
I'm not used to hearing "coriander" because I only ever use "cilantro" haha so that threw me off.
This was incredibly helpful! I definitely want to try these.
Like the pancake idea. when I was in the Army I ate 5-6 pounds of food a day. Now I dont need that and it helps to lay off the unnecessary Carbs, Totally trying that one.
Why do I always watch food videos? It makes my so hungry ahhhhh!!!!
You should do more of these food videos Helen x
Such a lovely video and I'm obsessed with this voice over!👌🏻😂
Can you write the ingredients for pancakes ? I'm from France and I'm not sure of the first ingredient
+Manon Fabre they're oats, as in porridge oats or rolled oats :)
and about a table spoon of them, it looks like
Weird question but do the pancakes actually taste like banana?
it's like a banana cake actually
Love these ideas! Perfect for normal people who can't afford super expensive health foods and are trying to improve their diet, these approaches will work so much better in having a healthier and happier lifestyle in the long run than being miserable after failing a drastic fad diet! 🙌 xx
I really like how you are not totally vegan you have an all-round healthy diet :)
A vegan diet is the most healthy actually :)
Sparkly Shellie nobody asked.
I'm not someone who likes curries but that looks amazing!
I have made the pancakes five times now for several different people and they LOVED them! So do I! :)))
Bean/lentil burgers are a great source of protein as well but are healthier than quorn because they don't usually contain eggs. Most supermarkets have their own cheap versions as well :)
you spelt alternatives wrong in the title but great video! I'm gonna try these!
Ditch the hens period aka egg and then its awesone :)
Is there an alternative to banana in the healthy pancakes as I would love to to eat healthy pancakes but I don't eat banana?
I've seen a recipe with almond flour, almond milk baking powder and agave/maple syrup. Almond flower is pretty expensive though. Honestly, whole wheat flower, baking powder, milk alternative and agave/stevia, that's how I make my vegan pancakes and it's just as fine.

You can mix 30g oats with a pot of yoghurt, leave for overnight in the fridge then add an egg and then fry like pancakes. Sticks to the pan a bit so you need a good pan but taste like pancakes x
Also use fat free yoghurt
Try applesauce instead of bananas. It works! I'd still leave out the eggs though, there is no need for them
And they're not healthy, considering the saturated fat and cholesterol. Let's not even think about the male chicks being shredded by the egg industry.
For your pancakes, you could cut out the oats by using greek yogurt :)
Oats are much healthier for your body than Greek yogurt!(:
The oats aren't even neccesary in that recipe, I used to do those exact same pancakes before turning vegan but just with a banana and two eggs. But adding oats in those is actually really smart, adding fiber is always good
So impressed with these recipes! I remember seeing your what I eat in a day and thinking 'oh dear lord' at all the meat haha! But the fact that you're incorporating loads more veggie options these days is so nice to see and the food looks incredible!!!
why dont you peel the potatoes? is leaving the skin on healthy? I've never seen that done
+Martina Makek It's actually healthier to leave the skin on as a lot of the nutrients are stored underneath it and if you boil them without the skin water soluble vitamins can get lost. You just have to be careful if there are green parts on the potato as they can be harmful if consumed in large quantities
+Emma Vicktorius but aren't the pesticides from the skin/peel harmful?
Martina Makek I'm not an expert but as potatos grow underground there shouldn't be too much of an issue with excessive pesticides on the sein. But wash them thoroughly beforehand and buy organic if that's your biggest concern
Loved that video! really good recipes 👍👍 good job Helen!!!
Such a great video. I've been looking out for it since you were cooking in your vlogs. Going to try the pancakes now! Xx
Oh SHUT UP. I love eggs. I'm vegetarian and it's amazing protein. Obviously don't eat like five a day but one a day is fine. So many professional nutritionists on here it seems!!!!!! 😒😒 Helen all these made me so Hungry especially the fry up. Glad to see you going veggie!!! Loved this video ❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜
Whats a healthy alternative to chocolate?
dark chocolate is healthy if you eat not-very-big portion :)
Bloody loved this!! Excited to try all the recipes xx
I made the curry it's so good !!
I'm definitely going to try your curry! It looks soooo yum yum!
This is literally what i've been looking for! pancakes tomorrow for me!
I loved everything about this! I am a vegetarian so I'm sooooo pleased with this video. Also I'm a huge fan of Thai curries and sweet potatoes so I will be making a lot of these recipes :)
That curry looks amazing! Deffos gonna have to try that out 😻
Helen Melon you're absolutely creative! I love how everyone of your videos is so colorful and fun!
I suggest you swtich that low calorie thing with some naturals fats like coconut or something.
Coconut oil is also not natural, as you need to extract it from the coconut. Eating avocados or eating nuts or eating a coconut, for example, thats the only way to eat "natural" oil/fat. Fat in its natural form. Coconut oil might be perceived as healthy, but it is just as unnatural as a slice of cheese, because both are processed foods. Did you maybe mean healthy oil?
+Mariana N Yeah, sorry, I mean something that isn't a product made of god knows what. Somehting natural, yes.
This is an amazing video and exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you Helen and I hope you do more of these videos in the future!!! xo
Instead of using low calorie spray why don't you use coconut oil? It's great to cook with and it's super healthy.
I don't like it! I always find it leaves a funny taste! Xxxx
+Helen Anderson well shit! I do understand what you're talking about. I don't like cooking my eggs in it. Lol
These look sooooo good, especially them pancakes😍😍
To make those pancakes super healthy leave out the eggs and add splash of milk. Much easier less fat and no cholesterol 👍🏼
I tried the curry, SO GOOD!
Helen is looking great and these also look great keep it up loving all your videos lately 😘
Those quorn southern fried chicken burgers are my life😍
More foodie videos please Helen, your food always looks so yummy! X
These all look mega delicious. Can't wait to try them out.
This looks lush :) I love the way you present your content :)
Melon! Bless you - omg I love pancakes but I'll allergic to wheat - this is great!!
The curry looks amazing, and I love that they're all vegetarian! (even tho I'd love to see it without the eggs, but it's optional y'know!)
Hey Helen! Just wondering if you were a vegetarian? Love ya xx Great video as always
I think she said that she's not but she's trying to eat less meat
Brilliant video Helen! You've given me new ideas, would more to see more like this xx
These loom so yummy 😍, I've been so pumped for this video
Thanks so much for this video I'll be testing all these!!!
thx this was so helpful and I'm a vegetarian so it's perfect
thanks helen, I'm struggling on my diet with knowing what new things to eat and this helped me out so much :D cant wait to try that fry up alternative!
Although these recipes sound pretty good, I wouldn't necessarily say that low calorie cooking spray is healthy. I would just use olive oil or sunflower oil instead, they're much more natural.
No oil is any healthier than another, there all 100%calories from fat with no other nutrients
