Wraps on wraps on wraps!!! Simple and healthy lunch idea. Of all meals, I think my clients struggle most with lunches. They need to be something quick (no one wants to spend 30 min every morning prepping something), easy (we aren’t all professional chefs here, right?!), and healthy (duh, I’m a dietitian). This wrap was made up of things I already had in the fridge, and it turned out awesome.
View PostThe key with a meatless meal is to make sure you are getting enough protein (this is a macro-nutrient that vegans and vegetarians tend to skimp on). For this meal, I used a poached egg and a vegetable burger patty for protein.
View PostMy biggest piece of unsolicited RD advice when you are going meatless is to make sure you still include a protein source at your meal. In this case, I added beans to my Hominy and Poblano Pepper Pozole for a good protein and fiber kick. Other great meatless proteins are lentils, eggs, nuts, quinoa, wild rice, and chickpeas.
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!
