These have become my favorite lunch or dinner and breakfast or bedtime snack...
Mediterranean Salad
Produce: 1 cup romaine lettuce, 1/4 c. tomato, 1/2 c. fresh steamed green beans, 1/4 c. red onion (steamed with the green beans)
Whole Grain: 1/2 c. sweet corn, or frozen & thawed, or kernels sliced from 1 med. ear of fresh roasted corn (I use the frozen)
Lean protein: 1/2 c. black beans
Plant-based Fat: 1/4 c. avocado
Seasoning: 1 T. red wine vinegar, 1 t. Italian herb seasoning mix, & 1/2 t. grapefruit zest (I can never make this taste good so I use 1 T. Zesty Fat Free Italian Dressing)
Banana Treat
Produce: 1/2 banana sliced
Whole Grain: 1 Wasa Sourdough Crispbread Cracker
Lean Protein: 1/4 c. fat-free Ricotta Cheese (I've only been using 2 T.)
Plant-based Fat: 9 hazelnuts crushed (Mix with Ricotta Cheese & vanilla)
Seasoning: 1/2 t. pure vanilla
Both meals only take minutes to throw together and are so delicious!
Down 10 lbs. and I've never eaten so well and been less hungry.
