A Breakfast Alternative

Sometimes when we aren’t feeling a smoothie in the morning, we resort to this go to omelette:

  • Egg whites
  • Spinach
  • Low fat feta cheese

Other ingredients to throw in:

  • Chicken sausage
  • Mushrooms
  • Top with avocado

Great way to get your AM proteins and feel energized for the day. Happy Hump Day!

Treat Yourself

After a week of killer workouts, we decided to treat ourselves with a little wine and cheese – cork and cow at home. We created a collection of cheeses, apples, honey, and grains and whipped up some flatbreads. Although it was a treat of sorts, we never stray too far from our healthy lifestyle.

With low fat cheeses, whole wheat breads and crackers, spinach, and a conservative amount of wine, we were able to enjoy an awesome meal without any guilt.

What’s on the platter:IMG_0019-0
Multi-grain crackers (Trader Joe’s)
Fig and olive crackers (Trader Joe’s)
Wheat baguette
Goat Log
Pesto Gouda
Supreme Brie
Fiji Apples
Honey

Flatbread Recipe:
IMG_01301. Preheat oven to 400
2. Spread basil pesto on whole wheat flatbread
3. Cover pesto with spinach leaves
4. Place chunks of low fat mozzarella on top
5. Bake for 6 minute directly on rack

We hope you are enjoying your weekend!!

Good Morning Greens

The best way to wake up is with a green smoothie! The purest form of nutrition, green smoothies are healthier than fruit or veggie juices because they are packed with fiber. There is no better way to boost your energy for the day than with a quick, easy, low cal, and filling drink. Get your veggies without realizing it, stay hydrated, and get that digestion system rolling.

Our favorite morning greenie:

1 cup of soy/almond milk
1 banana (if not frozen, throw a few ice cubes in)
1 cup of spinach or kale
1/2-1 scoop of vanilla protein (depending on the amount and what’s in the fridge, sometimes we will substitute the soy/almond milk for water)

IMG_6358Mix it up with the following additions:

PB2
Cinnamon
Chia Seeds
Oats

Blend up and enjoy!
