How to Keep Your Sushi Order Healthy

I love me some California rolls as much as I love me some foam rolls. But our favorite takeout can quickly become high in fat and calories. Dietitian Tara Ostrowe shares her healthy sushi hacks:

  • Skip the crunch. Tempura is high in fat and carbs. If you still want a lil crunch, ask for flakes to be added.

  • Ginger all day. For an immune boost and digestive benefits, eat that side ginger.

  • Don't be afraid to make swaps. Feel free to swap avocados for cream cheese, or wasabi for spicy mayo.

  • Be grain conscious. Restaurants often offer brown rice or quinoa in place of white rice.

  • Beans, beans, they're good for your heart! Throw in an order of edamame for extra protein and nutrients.
