I need help with healthy recipes...?




Maria A


I've been on a diet for 3 months and has lost weight. For work I take a fresh salad with a piece of chicken breast. I am getting tired of eating the same thing over and over again. I'm looking for a healthy recipe to make food for 5 days. I was thinking something like a stew or a chili bean mix with veggies or if you have any great healthy recipes I can have please share.

Thank you.



Answer
Try something high in fiber such as a sandwich on whole-grain wheat or rye bread...this way you can have natural peanut butter or almond butter, low-fat cheese and lean turkey, chicken, etc. whatever you want in moderation! You should bring a piece of fruit, low-fat yogurt, or make your own trail mix (with dried fruit for sure) to have with it or as a snack later! (the trail mix should include almonds and cashews as these are very nutritious and can include dry cereal, granola, raisins, soynuts, or cranberries) Or you could try bringing black bean, tomato, chicken noodle etc. soup in a thermos to work...You could also make your own tortilla wrap with shredded lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, olives, beans, lean turkey or chicken, peppers, pesto, onions or any combination you wish! Try making a casserole the night before out of brown rice, black beans, salsa, and shredded cheese on top, then re-heat in your work's microwave or in your microwave then stored in a thermos. As for new drinks, act like a kid and bring chocolate milk (or just bring regular milk) or your own water bottle...also sobe zero calorie lifewater is THE BEST flavored water i have ever had! It also contains many essential vitamins! so good luck!
