It is easy to make a braai day healthier by keeping these few tips in mind:

• Always choose lean meats and cut off all visible fats BEFORE cooking
• Use skinless chicken breasts and make your own kebabs with red peppers and oni on
• Add fish to the braai for a healthy alternative rich in Omega 3 oils
• Use raw veggies as snacks instead of the high fat chip alternative
• Roast your potatoes in foil on the coals and dress them with low fat cottage cheese
• Smoothies made with fresh fruits and fat free yogurt make for amazing healthy desserts
• Remember to drink lots of water while being out in the sun
