When healthy is Yummy...
The rule was always if it taste good spit it out. But the truth is healthy can be yummy! I have been preparing food for clients for a while now and I am really enjoying all the things you can create that are yummy, but even better easy!
I have had a number of requests for my Eggplant lasagna recipe so I am including that for you today. I am also including the Yummy treats I made for clients this week.
Eggplant is a night shade that grows on a vine. It contains Nasunin, which is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger that has been shown to protect cell membranes from damage. You can prepare eggplant many different ways but my favorite is as a substitute for lasagna noodles. I use the mandolin slicer and slice the egg plant thin using them as layers for the lasagna.
1 Jar of Red sauce ( I look for the ones lowest in sugar) Barilla Marinara All Natural has been my choice in the past
8 oz of ground turkey cooked
1 cup of low fat cottage cheese ( even if you aren't a fan it taste good in the dish)
1 egg
Mix those ingredients well
spread sauce on the bottom of the pan and layer with egg plant
cover with a blend of shredded cheese sprinkle enough to cover add some Parmesan
repeat until you get to the top will be roughly three layers
make sure sauce covers the edges and cook at 350 degrees until you can smell it.
Yummy Protein bites
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of honey
1/2 cup of protein powder (vanilla)
Mix together form into balls
cover with unsweetened organic coconut shavings
chill and enjoy
You may need to hide them they are yummy but also calorie dense so be aware. Save them for before a workout or afternoon when you are tired and need a boost.
Eating healthy can be fun but you have to be creative!
It's Sunday and I am cooking for the week- Are you prepared for a healthy week?
