Hello all!
Now that we have had a couple weeks under our belt- what is something that you have started making that is so good, you can't even see straight, and it just so happens to be healthy too!
Something I tried, which was SUPER easy...
3 Egg whites- lil milk- scrambled
chopped up green, red, peppers (mixed in with eggs)
2 pieces of wheat toast w/pb YUMMY breakfast.
Egg whites have 13 calories (39 calories +almost 10 grams of protein with the peppers)
2 slices Toast: 140 calories & 4 grams of protein
PB: 2 TBSPN: 190 calories (UGH!) BUT, 7 grams of protein
Total: 370 calories & 21 grams of protein! (Good for me as I don't eat meat!)

I try to have a salad every day for lunch. I do the majority of my shopping at Aldi's and they have a fabulous selection of healthy food and snacks options. I buy a bag of mixed salad, usually the "spring mix." I also buy salmon burgers there.
ReplyDeleteTo prepare the salad, I grill the salmon on the stove in a tbsp of olive oil. It takes about 2 1/2 min on each side on med hi heat. When I take it out of the pan, I put it on paper towels and dab it to soak up some of the oil. As it cools, I prepare my salad with mixed greens, craisins, low fat feta cheese and a sprinkle of slivered almonds. Then I cut up the salmon into small chunks and put it on top of the salad. Give it a good mix and the salmon and other toppings provide so much flavor that I forgo any dressing. Sometimes I even put in diced apples or mandarin oranges for a little more punch. I love this salad and I hope you will enjoy it too. It contains fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein and healthy fats. Can it get any better than that? :)
Also, try the "Laughing Cow" products for a snack. I love the light swiss cheese triangles on a wheat thin. Mmmmmm. Tasty!

Pumpkin Pudding: Decadent, creamy pudding for less than 150 calories--and it helps you lose weight! Just combine a 6-ounce container of nonfat vanilla yogurt with ½ cup canned 100% pure pumpkin puree and a dash of cinnamon. The pumpkin bulks up the yogurt--already a protein-rich, nutrient-packed food--and adds a hefty dose of fiber. This winning combo of protein and fiber expands in your stomach, keeping you full long after you finish, so you're not looking for more munchies an hour later.
ReplyDeleteI personally have not tried this, but I am thinking of making it this weekend. I mean two of my favorite things to eat together...yogurt and pumpkin! YUMMY! Hope you enjoy!
