Bobby's Tip: Use Flavor, Not Fat

"Cream, butter and fat are tasty, so without those ingredients, you have to find great flavor elsewhere. I use a lot of spices, herbs and Mediterranean ingredients to make my recipes shine," Bobby says.

Chickpeas

Bobby always keeps chickpeas in the house to make hummus for between-meal snacks. Serve a homemade or store-bought version with veggies or whole-wheat pita bread.

Chipotles

It's no secret that Bobby loves spicy food, and his favorite pepper is the smoky chipotle. Use the peppers and the adobo sauce they're typically canned in to add loads of flavor to marinades, meats and side dishes.

Fresh herbs and citrus (Bobby uses lemons, oranges, clementines and tangerines) add super low-calorie flavor to salads, main dishes and even desserts.
