Here are 5 tips for baking clean this Christmas!
Avoid artificial dyes. They are everywhere, especially this time of year. Every candy cane, frosted cookie or sprinkles contain artificial dye unless you seek out plant-based dye options.
You can swap the oil in any recipe for a non-inflammatory option with a high smoke point. Avocado oil works great in any recipe.
Pay attention to the words on packaging. Corn is a genetically modified crop and is used to sweeten many things. When buying any kind of sugar, look for sugar that comes from cane sugar. Organic is always a plus.
Be cautious of the amount of aluminum you intake. Aluminum can be found in many baking mixes, baking powder and can leach into your food when using aluminum foil to bake on. Aluminum is a heavy metal with many adverse health effects.
Buy organic as much as possible. Buying organic eliminates so many toxins like glyphosate (weed killer sprayed on crops) which causes cancer, artificial dyes, and GMOs.

Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
This is a big one with baking. Recipes usually call for canola or vegetable oil but those oils are so inflammatory. Avocado oil is not inflammatory and has a much higher smoke point. Oils with a low smoke point can break down into carcinogens when heated past a certain temperature. You will never be able to taste the difference, but you’ll feel better for it!

Parchment Paper
Using aluminum foil to line your baking sheets may save time but is not free of risk. Aluminum can leach off into your food when heated at high temperatures. Instead opt for unbleached parchment paper.

Organic Cane Sugar
Buying a bag of sugar seems straight forward right? Wrong. Unless you specifically buy cane sugar, the sugar can be coming from other sources like corn and have a high likelihood of being a genetically modified organism or sprayed with toxic pesticides. Buying organic cane sugar ensure you are only getting pure cane sugar.
