Ellie Krieger, the host of Healthy Appetite, is back with another season filled with healthy and delicious recipes. In season 3 episode 12, titled "Day at the Diner," Ellie takes us on a journey to explore the flavors of classic diner dishes.
The episode begins with Ellie introducing us to a traditional diner-style breakfast dish, the Denver omelet. However, instead of the usual greasy and heavy version, Ellie shows us how to make a light and healthy version using egg whites and plenty of fresh veggies. This tasty dish is packed with protein and fiber, making it a great way to start the day.
Next up, Ellie takes us on a tour of the diner's lunch menu. She shows us how to make a healthy version of a classic tuna melt. Instead of using full-fat mayo and white bread, Ellie uses Greek yogurt and whole-grain bread to create a lighter and more nutritious version that still packs tons of flavor.
For those who love a good burger, Ellie has a recipe for a delicious turkey burger that's sure to satisfy. It's made with lean ground turkey, and Ellie shows us how to amp up the flavor with fresh herbs and seasonings. Served on a whole-grain bun with plenty of veggies, this burger is a great choice for a healthy lunch or dinner.
Ellie also takes us through some diner-style sides, like sweet potato fries and coleslaw, but with a healthy twist. She shows us how to bake the sweet potato fries instead of frying them, and how to make a light and refreshing coleslaw with a Greek yogurt-based dressing.
Finally, of course, it wouldn't be a day at the diner without a slice of pie. Ellie shows us how to make a delicious and healthy apple pie that's surprisingly quick and easy to put together. Using whole-grain flour for the crust and a light and fruity filling, this pie is the perfect way to end a meal.
Overall, Ellie's "Day at the Diner" is a fun and flavorful exploration of classic diner dishes from a healthy perspective. Whether you're a fan of breakfast, lunch or dinner, there's something in this episode for everyone.
