meals
BREAKFAST:
Kodiak Cake Protein Pancakes - (I love the chocolate chip ones!) I’ll typically have 2 with some berries on the side. Not crazy about syrup so sometimes I’ll have it without or if I have syrup I just won’t over-do it!
Egg White Omelet - Spray extra virgin olive oil spray on pan (I never use butter! Only olive oil or coconut oil & typically just the sprays unless I need to add more). 3 egg whites, I’ll add just a little bit of shredded mozzarella (not much), 2 slices of turkey, a handful of spinach & that’s it!
Macro Bars - If I’m on the go I love these bars! Will also have these as a snack if I’m super snacks or hungry in the middle of the day for a quick & healthy fill me up!
Green Smoothie - 2 big handfuls of spinach (I add a tonnnn haha love getting my greens in this way!), 1 tablespoon of MCT oil, handful or less of berries, Vital Proteins collagen, chia seeds, ice, water
Eggs, Toast & Fruit - 1-2 fried eggs, 1 piece of Dave’s Bread toasted with just a little bit of almond butter, a handful or less of berries.
LUNCH:
Ground Turkey/Beyond Beef Tacos & Salad - 2 tacos I use with the Siete Chickpea wraps (so good! Make sure to get the chickpea ones). Ground beef or beyond beef, a little bit of shredded mozzarella, & Cholula sauce. I always try to have a salad with lunch as well (To have half of my plate be greens!). So a bowl of romaine lettuce, and the vegan ranch dressing (or caesar) I linked below - it’s soooo good.
Shredded Chicken Wraps & Salad - 2 Siete Chickpea wraps, shredded chicken (I either make mine by putting it in the air fryer & shredding it, or getting the pre made chicken strips at TJ’s!). I’ll add a little bit of mozzarella, lettuce & the vegan ranch or caesar. Of course I have my salad on the side - gotta get those greens in!
Amy’s Frozen Gluten Free non-dairy burrito - It’s actually soo good haha. I add Cholula sauce on top & of course my salad! Ya’ll know me at this point lol.
Big Ol’ Mexican Salad - Romaine or Spinach, shredded chicken, avocado, black beans, cilantro & my vegan ranch/caesar!
Turkey Sandwich & Salad - 2-3 pieces of sliced turkey, 1 or 1/2 piece of sliced provolone, lettuce, avocado mayo & Dave’s 70 Cal Bread Thin Sliced & of course my side salad!
DINNER:
Salmon & Brussel Sprouts - 1lb of salmon split for Brandon & I! I season it with a little bit of olive oil, himalayan salt & pepper & lemon juice! For the brussels I half them & throw them into the air fryer with a little bit of olive oil & himalayan salt.
Tilapia & Sweet Potatoes - I season the tilapia the same way as the salmon. Super simple! I’ll add minced garlic as well. For the sweet potatoes I like getting the already diced ones from whole foods & I just plop them in the air fryer with himalayan salt and don’t even need to add olive oil for this one!
Cod & Green Beans or Asparagus -Wipe down both sides of the cod and season with salt & pepper (both sides). I add minced garlic, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder & olive oil to a small saucepan for around 5 min. Add half a squeezed lemon & coat both sides of Cod with it - then proceed to bake it in the oven. For Green beans or Asparagus I put in a saucepan with a little bit of olive oil, himalayan salt & pepper.
Zucchini Noodles & Shrimp - 2 packages of Zucchini noodles with olive oil, himalayan salt & pepper & minced garlic! I cook my shrimp with the same ingredients!
Chickpea Pasta & Clean Ingredient Pasta Sauce - Super yummy for a quick meal.
SNACKS:
Hummus, Carrots & Celery
Lesser Evil Himalayan Sweetness Popcorn (SO GOOD)
Lesser Evil Paleo “No Cheese” Cheesiness Puffs (They’re alright - the Cheetos below are 10x better, but this one is paleo if you want/need that!)
Simply White Cheddar Cheeto Puffs (Original & Jalapeño are so good I’m salivating thinking about it)
Rice Cakes w/ Almond Butter
Orgain Protein Drinks
Shredded Chicken Mini Packs (Brandon likes these haha)
SWEETS:
Sweet Loren’s Chocolate Chip Cookies - Gluten Free, Whole grain, Nut free, Simple ingredients. They actually taste SO GOOD. We tried them out last night and Brandon ate 3 he was obsessed haha!
Smart Sweets - Love the swedish fish one, but all of them are so good!
Hu Chocolate - So yummy.
Coffee - (Just gonna add this in the sweet category haha). I use Milkadamia milk, Oat milk, or Silk Cashew Milk (my fav) and I just make a latte with my Nespresso. Sometimes I will add a little bit of Nutpods creamer into my milk frother as well. Love the Hazelnut & Vanilla flavor.
