I'm slowly, slowly losing weight. But I eat really healthy and therefore have better hair and better skin. I also have lots of energy to work out and burn some of the (too much if you're not breastfeeding!) food I eat while eating healthy. I love food. Looooooooove it, and I eat a lot of it. And these are my favorite snacks and recipes, most of them taken from my favourite food site of all time, should be shouted from the rooftops in my opinion, whfoods.com.
Favourite Breakfasts:
Oatmeal with dried cranberries, cinnamon and toasted walnuts
All-bran cereal with a bunch of fresh blueberries (no sugar!)
Fritattas, like this one (I use ground turkey, and it's sooo yum)
Favourite Lunches:
Quinoa with salt and steamed broccoli with salt-quinoa is pure protein. It's great.
Bean and lentil salads like this, this, and this.
Romaine lettuce with a can of tuna and a dressing of olive oil mixed with lemon juice and garlic, then warmed on the stove (on low) for a minute
Leftover suppers
Favorite Dinners:
Butternut squash soup and a salad- this is so good, Brad raves about it.
Salmon-fastest dinner ever, this with steamed veggies and rice or quinoa (BTW, any of the salmon recipes on this site are delicious. I always overcook my salmon, because I like it better that way!)
Chicken- this is very good and it goes well with this salad.
Fish-this is a good one
Burritos
Chili
Asian Chicken Salad
Favorite Snacks:
Frozen raspberries
Banana, cut in half with peanut butter spread on it and sprinkled with unsweetened coconut
Apples and peanut butter
Sliced apples with almond butter spread on one side and dipped in granola (pref. low-fat, this is high cal!)
Sliced apples dipped in plain-yes, plain-yogurt
Sweet Red Peppers dipped in homemade hummus (the easiest homemade dip ever- except I usually end up eating the whole batch and that's not very healthy!)
I also eat this chocolate bar...
Wow - I didn't think people really ate like this. I thought all the magazines were tricking me. I'm impressed! Thanks for the recipes.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you might like this site that I have discovered this year. It gives a ton of enlightening ideas on how we can eat better (even for those of us who already feel like we do).
