The option to make the chiles en nogada (chili in walnut sauce) healthier is to prepare them without coating them in flour and egg and then frying them. As well as changing the ingredients of the traditional nogada for those that are lower in calories such as: light cream, low-fat cheese and sugar substitute.
Dessert
For dessert, consider opting for a 240 ml cup of light water gelatin instead of a slice of tres leches ("three milks") cake.
Snacks
For snacks, a healthy option is to eat a cup of cucumbers or seasonal fruit instead of chips and pork rinds.
Drinks
Drinks also have a healthier option. Instead of soda, it would be better to drink plain water, or instead of drinking natural or industrialized juice, prefer hibiscus or lemon water without sugar or with a substitute, as well as coffee.
