Healthy grilling made simple – the key points:

Why grill healthy?

Grilling is part of summer fun. But on hot days, heavy meals can leave you feeling sluggish. Healthy grilling doesn’t mean missing out on taste – quite the opposite: The right ingredients make your BBQ feel lighter, more exciting and better for you.

What does “healthy grilling” actually mean?

It means being mindful with your food choices and how you prepare them. The goal: keep the nutrients, skip the excess calories, and give your body what it really needs.

Example: Instead of pork neck with store-bought marinade, go for chicken breast with a homemade yogurt-lemon marinade. Less fat, more protein, better flavor.
