When most people add sauces and dressings to their food, they’re usually also adding a ton of unwanted sugars, unhealthy fats, and a laundry list of artificial ingredients barely worthy of a sewage pond, let alone their bodies. Sure, the food tastes better. But at what cost?
Well, here at Precision Nutrition, we like great tasting food. However, we also like food that improves our health. So it’s been our mission to create great tasting food that’s also great for us.
Therefore today, we’re going to share with you 4 awesome physique friendly dressings – right out of our Gourmet Nutrition V2 cookbook – that are not only missing all that crap found in the store-bought varieties, they’re also loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. You know, all those healthy fats that are good for your heart, for your brain, and for your metabolism.
Indeed, research from the University of Western Ontario has shown that supplementation with the omega 3-rich fats, EPA and DHA, can boost your daily calorie burn by 400 calories or more. But there’s no need to just slug back the fish pills. You can just add these healthy fats to your recipes – as seen below. Bon appetite.
