➡️ So is Sausage actually healthy?!
Can sausages be included as part of a healthy lifestyle? Absolutely! Especially if you know what to look for:
A very easy rule to follow is to choose sausage with the fewest ingredients. Those are usually the healthiest choices.
I always read the ingredients carefully and choose based on that combined with what’s on SALE.
It’s a good idea to always check the packaging and look at the sodium content.
Ideally, choose the sausage with the lowest amount. And if the sausage contains higher sodium, then we don’t need to add much additional salt to the meal as a whole.
I try to buy chicken or turkey sausages that are mostly the actual chicken or turkey meat, gluten-free, nitrate-free, no added sugar, and no weird stuff in general.
There are actually quite a few good options these days! If you need help, be sure to ask your butcher for a recommendation.
Final thoughts: Obviously, we are not choosing sausage for every meal, rather including it here and there for variety and affordability reasons.
