Ever wonder what kind of foods you can eat that are "healthy", "filling" and "satisfying"? Look no further than PROTEIN!
Check out my list below for my favorites...BTW, they all require minimal or NO prep!
- Quinoa: Make a bunch in advance and keep it in
portion-controlled containers. Top with things you would put in oatmeal and/or
savory seasonings and mix in veggies.
-1% Cottage Cheese w/fresh
fruit and drizzle of honey
-Beef or Turkey Jerky (can be
high in sodium so limit this option)
-Pumpkin Seeds, almonds or
pistachios
-Hard Boiled Eggs (I just eat
the whites with hot sauce)
-Deli Meat rolled with a
string cheese
-Celery with PB
-String Cheese & Fruit
-Protein shake
-Luna Protein bar or Muscle
Milk Light bar if you need something packaged
-Edamame (you can buy a frozen
bag, cook as directed, season to your desire put in portion-controlled baggies)
-Hummus & veggies
-Protein pancakes: (Mix 4 egg
whites, ½ cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of 1% cottage cheese, ⅛ teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of pure
vanilla extract. Cook on a preheated griddle (medium low heat) until mixtures
bubbles, flip and cook for another 60 seconds. Top with fresh berries or sliced
banana and PB.)
-Chocolate milk
-GREEK yogurt, non-fat (TIP: if you buy the fruit-on-the bottom kind, don't mix it together. The yogurt will still have the fruit flavor but you will avoid the extra sugar and calories)
-PB & J on a bread-flat
-Tuna packet
-Protein Balls: Mix PB and protein powder with a
fork until it forms a thick consistency (every PB and powder has a different
texture so you will have to play with measurements). Once formed into balls,
roll around in chopped almonds, pecans, walnuts or cocoa powder. Or you can dip
in melted dark chocolate and place on wax paper in fridge until set. Keep in
fridge until ready to eat.
-Chicken breast (cut the whole pack of breasts really thin, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a sauté pan. cook chicken 3 minutes each side medium heat. if it is not done in the center place in the oven at 350 degrees for roughly 5 minutes until cooked through. keep the chicken in the fridge and put in rice bowls, salads, pasta, sandwich, etc all week long!)
Best of Health,
