Today’s lunch. Quick, low-cal salad. Adding more colors, (vegetables) will give this salad a face lift, however, I just used what I had on the ready that needed to be used up.

I had some romaine and cucumbers I didn’t want to waste, but I rarely want to eat a salad without a protein in it so I hard boiled 4 eggs and tossed the egg yolks out, using the whites only. The yolks certainly have their benefits, will add to the protein content and are full of vitamins but for a lower calorie option and if you’re watching your cholesterol, you can certainly opt to leave them behind. There are studies that have proven that eating the yolks can actually aid in weight loss but as I always say, all things in moderation!

I indulged a little yesterday on margaritas and tacos and technically didn’t get a structured work out in either, but that’s totally ok!

Allowing yourself a “cheat day” is always acceptable. Everything in moderation is kind of my motto for nutrition.

Today, I’m back on the protein game though and made this tuna salad. Did you know adding Parmesan cheese can elevate this already high protein dish? Adding just 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese gave me an additional 9g of protein! I sliced up a medium avocado as well for it an additional 4g.

The Greek yogurt in the tuna already served as a “dressing” but I drizzled it with this Laconiko (Olive Oil) for the added antioxidant and anti inflammatory health benefits.

The recent passing of a young friend of mine got me thinking a lot lately about the typical American diet. More importantly, mine and my family’s diet. Her home was filled with health organic products. Some of these items, her surviving husband has sent home with me in hopes they would benefit me. I wanted to put them to good use but have never really been a chia seeds fan. Honestly, I have always thought of them, along with the collagen peptides, as a fad item or some buzz word in the granola world so I think innately just overlooked or disregarded them.

Well, here I sit with these bags of goods and can’t bear to let them go to waste so I started researching.
The tremendous amount of health benefits from just 3 tbspn of seeds daily is something I can’t ignore. Particularly at my age where being more intentional about what I eat is vital. I have always loved cleaned eating, but somehow have gotten far away from it. It’s not only so expensive to eat well, but it’s time consuming! So many of us live off convenience because we are overworked and tired. We get past that hangry stage and we are willing to intake anything just to keep us going. We seemingly think we have the energy to keep this behavior up but I truly believe our diet habits now, will eventually catch up to us and when they do, will force us to make changes (if we’re lucky enough to get that chance).

Today was my first trial recipe with the seeds and it was so delicious. I was going for a chia seeds pudding that needs to sit overnight in the fridge, but it tasted so good I couldn’t wait that long and made a smoothie from the batch as well. The recipe was so easy and made a huge batch in under 10 minutes.

Recipe:
1 C whole fat Greek yogurt. - 10 G Protein
(Any flavor! I used this upside down pineapple flavor today. For less sugar, get plain Greek yogurt. For this go round, I wasn’t focusing on reduced sugar content).
2 tblspns of chia seeds - 4 G protein
1 C of Protetin Almond Milk - 8 G protein
1 scoop of Collagen Peptides - 10 G protein
A Swirl of Local Honey
Dash of cinnamon
Total : 32G protein

Stir it all together and refrigerate overnight. I quadrupled the recipe to make 4- 16 oz puddings plus one smoothie 😋

For women who are perimenopausal or menopausal, it’s recommended for breakfast to start off with at least 30-50G of protein with intake of a 100G or more total DAILY! If you’re like me and struggle to get all that in, this recipe WILL HELP!

Enjoy!
