But the truth is that healthy recipes are at everybody\’s hand. There are many different foods that are good for your body that you might not even know of!
You are getting up. You need to get to work, to feed the kids; basically you are in a rush, as ever. You want to eat healthy but you need something quick and easy. You like the whole \”breakfast sandwich\” idea, even though you know it is not the best thing to feed your body first thing in the morning… Well here is a fast alternative that will provide you with the nutrients your body and soul needs!
So for your next breakfast, try this: 30g of whole grain cereals and 175g of yogurt mixed together, with 125ml of orange juice on the side. You don\’t like orange juice? Not a problem! You can substitute for your choice of vegetable of fruit juice, as long as it is 100% pure. You can also add as many fresh fruits as you want to your breakfast. For even more delicious nutritious, add in some scrambled eggs. Now that is a quick and nutritious morning!
Then you get to lunch, and you are stuck again, not knowing what to eat, tempted by the restaurant around the corner… Well the solution is right here. Here is a simple idea of healthy foods you can mix together for lunch.
Try this: mix some tuna, celery, fat free mayonnaise and some shredded cheese for a fat free tuna spread you can put on a piece of whole wheat bread. The easiest tuna sandwich you will ever make, and possibly the tastiest. So, no more greasy fast food and feeling too full and tired all afternoon, because you had a lunch on the heavy side.
Also remember to take it easy on the protein. For a balanced diet, you need a little bit of everything. Unfortunately most people\’s daily protein intake in greater than what it should be. You need to know that there are the good proteins and the lesser good ones. Things like dairy products and eggs are a good source, but careful to the fat percentage. Nuts likewise, but careful on the portion, again because of the fat.
For example: 1 lb of boneless chicken cut into strips, 1/4 cup of fat free Italian dressing, 2 cups of frozen of fresh mixed vegetable of your choice and 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce. Fry the chicken and dressing in a large skillet, add the veggies and soy sauce and fry for another 5 minutes. Dinner ready to eat for four! Have any leftovers? Why not make them the next day\’s lunch and save yourself even more time!
Try to keep an open mind and stay creative when trying some new healthy recipes. Nothing is impossible, and you will slowly but surely get more and more confident in your new found cooking skills. Eventually, mixing ingredients together will come naturally. Until then, feel free to surf the net, or get a new cookbook to inspire you!
