Recipes for fun and healthy food
Dinner Inspiration?
This is Orange Roughy & quinoa, spinach salad with tomatoes & avocado. Dressing was a light balsamic vinaigrette And I like salsa & nonfat plain Greek yogurt as a condiment mixed with just about everything!
My hubby made the fish but seemed pretty simple in a skillet.
The verdict is in…The new Strawberry Shakeology is delicious!!
I had mine as a post-workout meal with ~1c ice, 1c Vanilla unsweetened Almond Milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 scoop Vanilla Hydrowhey (by Optimum Nutrition) & 1/2 banana (& blended until creamy of course). You don’t have to add extra protein.
Stopped after T’s basketball game to pick up lunch at our favorite deli and Ohhhhh..how I wanted to just order a big fluffy high-carb bagel loaded with cream cheese & high sodium turkey ..and a side of soup-also very high sodium. But it’s not worth it to me. I work too hard.
If it were a special occasion, I would have indulged! But temptations are ALL around us..& if they’re in your HOUSE, that’s even worse! Get rid of it!
Take a deep breath & buy what you like but is a healthier choice.
This is half of a veggie spinach wrap..no cream cheese or cheese, all-natural Light Blue Cheese dressing for dip in the bowl (barely needed any because it’s a strong taste) & a half serving of Peanut Butter Banana Shakeology for added nutrients & protein.
EGG SALAD SANDWICH. Yes please!!
Or ..No thank you??
This is a toasted Ezekiel English muffin. And for the egg salad I used 2 hardboiled eggs mashed up into 2T of nonfat plain Greek yogurt & 1T mustard, diced onion, Himalayan salt & pepper.
About 300 calories & over 20g protein.
Have you tried these yet?
I’m trying again to give up Quest Bars (the chocolate chip cookie dough… nothing wrong with them, I just don’t think it’s right that I want 2 a day, and dream of having one with every second!
These are an AWESOME alternative, have more nutritional value, & are just as convenient as a bar when you need something QUICK or just a healthy sweet Chocolate Peanut Butter treat for you & the family.
RECIPE:
1 cup Dry Quick Oats
1 cup “Just Great Stuff” (Amazon)
1/2 cup Natural PB
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 serving Chocolate Shakeology (reg or vegan)
6 packets all-natural Stevia
Remove jewelry, mix all into large bowl, form into golf ball size bites,
Place in ️freezer& keep there. Ready to eat within seconds of removing it from the freezer.
They’re NOT impressive warm & mushy.
p.s. I choose Just Great Stuff over PB2 because it’s organic & has cleaner ingredients but the same taste.
This was SO creamy & delicious!! Recipe below!
1 cup Frozen Mango Chunks
1/4 cup Frozen Blueberries
1 cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 cup water so it’s not too crazy thick
1 serving Vanilla Shakeology
1/2 scoop Vanilla HydroWhey (optional, I just like extra protein after a lift PLUS it makes it extra yummy!)
Blend. No ice needed due to the frozen mango chunks
This is a turkey burger (pattied up at home, no special recipe but Vegans could substitute a bean burger or quinoa burger), Daiya vegan cheese, cherry tomatoes, Baby Spinach & avocado on a toasted Ezekiel English Muffin with Salsa on the side to put on each bite! so amazing!

What’s your go-to breakfast?
I normally do eggs & egg whites with veggies in the morning but a freezing cold snowy morning calls for hot oatmeal (all-natural, wheat-free, Gluten-free Instant made GlutenFreeda) with a 1/4 scoop Protein & Superfoods (=Vanilla Shakeology). I think I like it better with Chocolate Shakeology though.
I know chocolate oatmeal probably sounds ODD, but I’m a chocolate lover!
The Feta is BACK!!
But just for the salads I made for my in laws these past few days. Nothing wrong with Feta (in fact, one of the better cheeses), or any food in particular as long as you don’t have an unhealthy addiction to it.
I can fall madly in love with certain foods & then I just have to go COLD TURKEY on them if I sense a bad habit forming. With certain foods, I have little success with the “in moderation” mode.
This was spring mix, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, RF Feta, & avocado. Back on track starting NOW!
That about says it all right?!
In the salad: PURPLE cauliflower (not a huge fan of ANY cauliflower but with other stuff & dressing, I can do it). Also, turkey, tomatoes & pine nuts!
