Healthy Recipes

Something I hear all the time now is "I want to eat healthy, but I don't know what to eat!" I have always been a horrible cook, but even I can prepare these recipes.

Note: These are not my own creations but rather links to recipes I've tried and recommend. These can definitely help you lose the weight.

As always portion control is essential so stick to the serving sizes.




Breakfast

Healthy Mushroom and Spinach Omelette

1 serving is only 92 Calories and takes less then 5 minutes to make.

French Toast

French Toast with half the fat and only 160 calories per serving.

Strawberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Less then 2 grams of fat. The strawberry flavour really stands out.

Lunch/Dinner

Best Ever Lean Burger

7 grams of fat compared to 20+ grams in a tradition burger.

Veggie Stir Fry

Very filling dispite that fact that there is no meat in it. Under 100 Calories per serving

Maple Glazed Salmon

I have never been a big fan of Fish, the health benifits are undeniable but the taste has never appealed to me. This recipe though is delicious and less then 2 grams of saturated fat per serving.

Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This makes 12 servings, but I usually cut everything in half. These are very high in Protein and low in fat. A great variation when you are tired of the plain old chicken breast.

Chinese Chicken Salad

A great twist on Chicken salad with some asian flavour. Try adding 2-3 types of lettuce leafs to increase the nutrititonal value.

Spicy Grilled Pork Chops

Hot and spicy but can be a little on the fat side, depending on the cut of pork you use. Remember to trim the visible fat before cooking. The Olive oil, hot sauce and lime juice and more then enough to keep the pork moist.

Healthy Snacks

Frozen Yogurt Pops

Very easy to make and if you use the low sugar/sugar free yogurt they are really good replacements for fruit flavoured popsicles.

Most other healthy snacks don't really need a recipe as they are already easy to prepare. Here are some of the better choices.

Almonds - (1 serving is about 1 handful)

Raw Veggies - Do you really need a list? you can also dip them in natural peanut butter or low fat ranch dressing.

Low fat popcorn - 3 cups popped is 1 serving.

Berries - Strawberries, Raspberries, blueberries...you get the picture.

Cheese Strings - Quick easy and portable, plus they taste great.

Fruit - Bananas, Apples, Oranges, Cantaloupe etc. Use these sparingly as most friut is high in sugar.

Nature Vally Granola Bars - While granola is high in fat, these bars are good when you just need to add some crunch to your snacks.

Water - There are many kinds of flavoured water products available that add some kick to your normal bottled water. Even on it's own water is great in between meals, as it helps you feel full and adds 0 calories. Plus you body needs it to survive and that's kinda important.
