{!firstname_fix}

Welcome to Day 2 of the Jumpstart to Clean Eating Challenge! If you missed

Today, you will learn about meal swapping. When you are switching from a standard 
diet to a clean diet, there are going to be quite a few foods no longer allowed. The good 
news is most of them have delicious, healthy, and clean alternatives! Here are some 
popular foods and ways to swap them out with cleaner options:

Brown Rice Instead of White Rice

You can still have your rice and other grains, but you want to stick to brown, whole 
grain, or whole wheat versions. White rice is highly processed, so swap it out for brown 
rice or quinoa instead. 

Sweet Potato Instead of White Potato

White potatoes are often not included in clean eating plans not because they aren’t 
clean, but because they are a high-starch vegetables. A healthier option is to use sweet 
potatoes instead. These are also considered a superfood, so there is a bonus for you.

Avocado or Greek Yogurt Instead of Mayo

If you want to make a food like chicken salad or tuna salad, it typically uses 
mayonnaise, which is not only filled with fat, but it is a dairy product. Many people who 
are clean eating don’t want to eat dairy. To make your chicken salad, try using mashed 
up avocado instead. You can also use Greek yogurt if you’re eating dairy, but don’t want 
the mayonnaise, or a dairy-free yogurt works as well.

As you can see, there are many simple ways to turn your favorite meals into cleaner 
versions. Make a list of your favorite foods and see if there are swaps for these foods. It 
will come in handy later in the week when you start planning your meals.
