Healthy Meal Plan

Hello Lovers,

A lot of us go to the grocery store without a list. Meaning, we usually leave the store getting something we didn't really need. When you are eating healthy, it is very important that you create a list of meals you are going to cook for the next week, 2 weeks or a month depending on how much food you buy. You're supposed to have 3 meals a day and a snack every 2-3 hours. I am going to share with you an example of my meal plan. I'm not going to write out the entire week; however, this will give you a clue as to what I make, create and bring with me to the store. This list was based on my work schedule:

Monday

Breakfast: Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie
Ingredients: Vanilla Almond Milk, 1/2 of a Banana and a Tbsp of Peanut Butter (I add a pinch of cinnamon too)

1st snack: Almonds (Unsalted)

Lunch: Tilapia with a hint of lemon and Steamed Brocoli

2nd snack: Celery w/peanut butter and Raspberries

Dinner: Whole Chicken with Asparagus and Homemade Mashed Potatoes (No Butter)


Tuesday

Breakfast: Egg White Omlet with Spinach, Tomato and Banana

1st Snack: Baby Carrots

Lunch: Chicken Breast with Bean Salad

2nd Snack: Grapefruit and Nuts

Dinner: Honey Pepper Salmon with Avocado, Tomatoes, Lime and Chilli Pepper sprinkled on top


See how simple that was? You can make your list however you want :-). But like I said before, it's easier to create a list to avoid extra shopping and spending extra money.

Guacamole Deviled Eggs

Hello Healthy Eaters!

Here is a receipe that I found on www.skinnytaste.com for Guacamole Deviled Eggs. I am a HUGE fan of Deviled Eggs but unfortunately, they are not good for me. Luckily, someone was nice enough to upload a "Cleaner" version of this dish. You will need:

6 Large Eggs
1 Medium Haas Avocado
2-3 Tsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 Tsp Red Onion (minced)
1 Tbsp Minced Jalapeno
1 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Diced Tomato
Pinch of Chile Powder (for garnish)

Directions:

-Peel the hard boiled eggs
-Cut the eggs in half horizontally and set the yolks aside
In a bowl, mash the avocado and 2 whole egg yolks, discard the rest. Mix in lime juice, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper and adjust to taste. Gently fold in tomato.
-Scoop heaping spoonfuls of the guacamole into the 12 halved eggs. Sprinkle with a little chile power for color and arrange on a platter.

Servings: 12, Serving Size: 1 Piece, Calories: 44
