Easy Food Ideas

Food. We love it.  We hate it.  We resent it.  We regret it. But let's be real, we need it! 

So here are some super easy and super healthy suggestions for REAL LIFE because let's be real no one has time for any of this crazy complex meal making.

Lunch idea: 

1c sweet potato and quinoa chips

1oz cheese (whatever is your favorite) 

3oz turkey breast (lunch meat)

2T salsa (My favorite is Minnesalsa) 

1 mango sliced

I heated the turkey and cheese in a saute pan so that it tasted similair to a grilled cheese. 

Snack idea: 

I am currently loving this for any treat or snack. 

1 part chia seeds to 2 parts almond milk

I let it hang out together in a tupperware container overnight mixing it a couple of times to make sure the seeds are not clumped together.  Then when I am ready to eat it I portion it into 1/2 c containers. I will be the first to tell you that I didn't love this when I first tried it (maybe last July), but I seriously cannot say enough good things about it now.  It keeps me full, it tastes decent, it's something sweet, and it's not bad for me! Top it with some whipped cream and it's a beautiful treat. 

Woot woot! 

Dinner idea: 

4 oz beef medallion (sliced) 

1c mushrooms

1c spaghetti squash

 Sautee the meat in 1T butter, then add the mushrooms and ta da it's done.  I also pre-cooked the squash so I just had to microwave it and toss it on the plate. Delish. 

Here are some healthy tidbits to remember.

Your weight is not your worth.

Until tomorrow :)
