Nothing wrong with a good old BLT when you you’ve got goals!!
Keep it healthy by:
✅ loading up on the chicken breast that you snuck in!
✅ using whole wheat or sprouted grain bread
✅ using turkey instead of pork bacon
Happy Friday, Friends!

Yummy Pizza Alternative
👁 ❤️ 🍕
I’d eat pizza all day every day…but I know I’ve got to work in healthy choices too. THIS dish has all the yummy pizza taste, none of the pizza guilt.
🥄 1/3 c cooked quinoa
🥄 1/4 c tomato sauce
🥄 1 whole egg
🥄 8 sliced mushrooms
🥄 1/2 diced green bell pepper
🥄 1/4 c shredded mozzerella
🥄 10 slices turkey pepperoni
Cook the green peppers and mushrooms to both soften and remove excess water content. I did mine in a bowl in microwave for 3 minutes (add 1/4c water before popping into the microwave). Drain well.
Mix together in a bowl the quinoa, tomato sauce, egg, mushrooms and green peppers. If you want to kick up the spice a notch, add some crushed red pepper.
Slide this mixture into a lightly greased oven safe dish. Top with cheese and pepperoni slices. Add
Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350F
Enjoy! 😋
Taco Burgers
It’s #TacoTuesday so let’s taco ‘bout burgers!
🌮 🍔
This is the marriage of two of my favourite things!
To make 4 burgers:
🥄 1 lb extra lean ground turkey
🥄 1 egg
🥄 1 packet taco seasoning
🥄 1 shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
Mix these ingredients together and shape into 4 burgers. Lightly oil the patties once shaped and then let the burgers set up in the fridge for 25-30 minutes. Grill on the BBQ!
Serve the burgers with your favourite taco seasonings: guacamole, salsa, hot peppers, whatever you like!
Smashed peaches french toast
French toast is one of my go to meals…breakfast, lunch, or dinner when I’ve only got a few minutes, or just really do not feel like cooking this is my answer. It takes all of 5 minutes and requires basically no effort.
Soak 2 slices Ezekiel bread in a mixture of 1 scrambled egg, 2 tbsp milk and a dash of vanilla. Pan fry.
Serve with turkey bacon on the side (microwave it while frying your French toast whip this meal up fast!)
To make this French toast a little fancier, I topped it with Skyr and some mashed peaches (frozen peaches are perfect for this). If you want to add some healthy fat, drizzle with your favourite nut butter.
Don’t let a lack of time keep you from eating healthy. I promise this was was faster and easier than ordering delivery!
Loaded Greek Toast
Move over avocado toast! Make room for this loaded Greek toast on this weekend’s menu 😋
🥄 1 slice of whole grain bread (or protein bread!)
🥄 a smear of Skyr (add some powdered tatziki seasoning for extra flavour)
🥄 1/3 c mashed chick peas (you can do this in your food processor – just add some lemon juice and Greek yogourt)
🥄 top with crumbled feta, diced tomato, black olives, and diced green onion
Fajita Bowl
The #Basics are just that because they’re quick and easy go to meals. Fajita bowls are one of my staples.
🥄 pan fry thinly sliced beef sirloin with fajita seasoning
🥄 cook a batch of brown rice
🥄 pan fry sliced onions, red peppers and green peppers
🥄 grate some cheese
🥄 spice it up with some extras: Greek yogourt, salsa, green onion, cilantro, whatever you like!
If you want to meal prep these fajita bowls, freeze everything except the the cheese and your extras in meal sized portions.
Enjoy! 😋
Protein Crepes
These super healthy crepes are a perfect fit for your eating plan! I’ve got you covered today with Protein Crepes! Woohoo! Happy Friday, Friends!
🥄 Mix 1/2c egg whites with 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
🥄 Spray a frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and then pour your crepe batter in. Once the crepe is all bubbly, flip and cook on the other side.
🥄 Fill your crepe with your favourite fruit
🥄 Top with a few mini chocolate chips
🥄 Drizzle with your favourite nut butter
Enjoy! 😋
Turkey and Brie Sandwich
Let’s talk turkey! At Christmas time I bought and extra turkey breast and stashed it in my freezer. This weekend I broke it out and cooked it in my pressure cooker (from frozen 🤩) to keep the turkey juicy and delicious! This would also be yummy with roasted chicken!
This week I’m going to be enjoying these turkey and Brie sandwiches for dinner a few nights.
I felt like this sammie needed something for some extra zing, so I made some homemade raspberry chia jam to spread on the toasted buns.
To make your own raspberry chia jam:
🥄 1 c frozen raspberries
🥄 2 tbsp chia seeds
🥄 1/3c water
Simmer over medium/low heat until the chia seeds have expanded and the mixture has thickened. Chill to thicken even further.
French Toast and Rainforest Butter
French Toast is my favourite! But I hate to eat the same thing again and again and again. So I like to put different spins on my French Toast to keep things fresh!
This time I drizzled my French Toast in rainforest butter (mixed Brazil and Macadamia nut butter) and maple syrup.
A side of turkey bacon and this is the perfect meal! 😋
Prosciutto and Blue Cheese Pizza
You know how they say 9/10 people love bacon and the 10th person is a liar? I’m pretty sure the same goes for pizza.
So, today I’m bringing you prosciutto and blue cheese pizza on a protein crust! You’re mouth is going to be doing a happy dance. I promise!
To make the crust:
🥄 1 scoop unflavoured protein power – @hardmagnum is perfect for this
🥄 1/2c egg whites
🥄 1 tsp Italian blend herbs
Mix the crust ingredients together well – I used my immersion blender to make sure everything was well mixed. Pan fry the batter like a pancake in a medium sized frying pan, flipping once the first side is cooked through. Make sure to cook the crust well.
Once cooked, move your crust to a cookie sheet and top with pizza sauce (get it nice and close to the edges). Top that with a few pieces of prosciutto and some crumbled blue cheese. Pop into your oven and bake at 350F for about 5 minutes – just long enough to get your cheese nice and melted.
Enjoy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
