Despite being healthy, many are high in calories and if consumed in moderation can lead to weight gain. Also, keep an eye out for recipes that have a high amount of sweetener which, despite being an alternative for those who avoid sugar, is an ingredient that is not good for our body. Therefore, it is always worth looking for recipes that use whole ingredients and are in the most natural way possible.
