I LOVE curries. Like… could eat them daily. But unfortunately they are typically made with high saturated fat creams and/or coconut milks. This not only bumps up the artery clogging saturated fats in the dish, but the calories too! So for years (no joke) I have pondered how to make and curry dish that gave me that same creaminess and coconutty flavor, but none of the saturated fats and calories. And guess what… I found it! This dish uses high protein, low saturated fat and calorie Greek yogurt for the creaminess and coconut extract for an almost NO calorie coconut flavor. “Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?? Is this real life, Lauren?” Yes friends, this is real life. Real curry life. Real low calorie, low saturated fat curry life. And welcome to it.
View PostI’m from Texas, so it’s only natural that I LOVE Mexican food. Like… LOVE. And living in Colorado, I miss it. It’s just not the same here. Are you crying for me yet? So not only have I had to take the responsibility upon myself to learn how to cook good Mexican food, I have also had to find a way to make it healthy. And I did just that with this recipe.
View PostBBQ BBQ BBQ! Chicken pizza. Healthy style of course. Flatout Bread topped with barbecue sauce (I used Head Country – it’s much lower in sugar than most!), a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, rotisserie chicken, chopped red onion, and basil. Broil until browned. Took about 10 min to prep and cook, and is only about 350 calories for the whole pizza. High in fiber (thanks to onions and Flatout) and protein (thanks to cheese and chicken). Go ‘za!
