Tasty and Healthy

[Anonymous]

Please share your tasty meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

The ones — when you are eating healthy, you’re really actually looking forward to eating.

Bonus if they are tasty from delicious seasoning. I don’t like bland food.

Bonus if they are easy to prepare—you can go pick up the ingredients at the store and make it and eat it now. 30m of cooking is reasonable.
If it takes extra preparation, even like slow cooker, it’s just too much time for me to think ahead (fail to think ahead) and then abandon my healthy eating. Or even when you have to wait for the fruit or avocado to be ripe… and so you end up going for the ho ho.

Just learn to cook and create your own dishes how you like them seasoned. It takes a little boldness and enthusiasm, but you will learn to cook rather than just follow other's recipes.

Trying to "make a menu" or using recipes will always lead to stagnation.

If you like Mediterranean style food, check out Shred Happens on instagram. Everything this man makes is delicious and super healthy and low carb. And the Kaizan low carb pasta (his brand) is amazing - my daughter is a Type one diabetic and we swear by it.

My two favorite things right now are:

Breakfast: smoothie bowl
Make a blenderful of smoothie on Sunday and freeze in small bowls. Take one out of the freezer in the morning and top with fruit and sliced almonds. By the time I get to work, it’s a nice texture. My favorite smoothie right now is spinach, avocado, ginger, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, frozen banana, frozen pineapple.

Lunch: salad with spinach, feta, strawberries, salmon, hazelnuts. I have a stash of frozen salmon fillets and try to cook one the night before so I can just toss the salad together in the morning.

Tortilla quiche is one of my recent faves. Use WG tortilla, 4 eggs, one small container cottage cheese and whatever veggies you like. Mix those all together. Pour into the tortilla which should be in a cake pan ( so sides are up) add tasty cheddar to the top and bake for 20 mins. This makes 4 servings for me ( I had WL surgery so don’t eat a lot) and each serving is 18-20g protein.

I buy the big bagged cabbage salads like Asian style, poppyseed, etc,

I buy hummus and fage full fat yogurt.

I keep lots of nuts and seeds around (roasted and salted) like pumpkin, sunflower, almonds

I usually make rice and protein (salmon, tofu, or steak) and supplement with the above

-Avocado toast with grilled shrimp (most deli’s have these already made as skewers and cooked)
-Hard fried eggs with Cheese and Salsa
-Pita or Naan bread, topped with hummus, feta and black olives with the pit
-Cucumber Tomato salad with Italian dressing and a little Feta cheese
-Fage greek yogurt with a teaspoon of honey or a teaspoon of Nutella mixed in. Can also add walnuts.
-Brown ground Turkey, add taco seasoning, then scoop into Bell pepper halves. Sprinkle a little cheese on top and bake 15 minutes. Can top with salsa and light greek yogurt when done.

If you like tacos and are looking for a non-meat option, I recommend this tofu taco recipe:

Check out the cookbooks how not to die, how not to diet- the cookbooks, not the textbooks. Very flavorful, very healthy. Forks over knives and happy herbivore have recipes that can be searched online.

If you can't wait the two days for an avocado to ripen, then you're not going to be able to wait for the months+ of consistency required to be healthy.

Just lower your standards and accept your fate of being unhealthy .

Oatmeal and mixed melon was my awesome breakfast today.

Every time I make chicken fajitas I am reminded that they are quick, healthy, and always a hit. Easy to customize for a family with different tastes. Etc

I’ve been enjoying overnight oats. Yes, you do have to plan ahead but it takes a few minutes and you can make them for the week. I use this recipe but add a scoop of unflavored protein powder: https://www.loveandlemons.com/overnight-oats-recipe/

In the morning I add a tbsp of almond butter and some cut up fresh or frozen fruit.

I switched from making my own, to just ordering Oats Overnight. The cost wasn't that much difference (oats, protein powder, chia seeds, flax seeds + flavoring and fruit). Plus they have a ton of flavors. I can grab it and go, or can prepare it at work the night before and have it waiting for me when I get in. It keeps me very full until mid afternoon.
