Hey guys
I’ve spoken to a few people who have asked for a couple of ideas for easy and healthy meals. Sometimes having to make a big meal with lots of ingredients, for only one person does feels like a waste? especially if cooking isn’t your forte.
Here are a couple meal ideas which are healthy and I swear EASY! 🙂
Breakfast
A basic protein shake (make sure to choose a soy and gluten free shake, this way you will have no upset tummy and cramps to deal with afterwards) Pair this with a fruit (green apples are always a good option because they are low is sugar)
Snack options
Biltong (rather choose biltong over droewors)
Nuts
The best nuts for your diet are almonds, Cashews and pistachios
Interesting fact: Almonds are relatively low in calories and have the most calcium out of any other nut. They are also very rich in fiber and vitamin E (an antioxidant that helps fight inflammation)
Avoid nuts which have been roasted in oil. Roasted nuts are usually heated in unhealthy fats and at high temperatures which destroys the nutrients in the nuts.
Peanut butter and almond butter also help soothe cravings and keep you fuller for longer. Spread some on a low carb slice of bread (Dischem)
it doesn’t get easier 🙂
(Remember to watch your servings especially when it comes to nuts, they are packed with HEALTHY fats, but be careful if you have too much and this will certainly result in weight gain)
Lunch
Smoked chicken
I love his flavourful chicken and with minimal preparation it makes for a quick, easy and healthy meal. You can cut it up and add it into salads, onto low carb or slimmers wraps (Dischem or Woolies) or even pair with some roasted veg.
(I always buy mine from Spar or pnp)
Supper
Steak and salad
Why not have your steak prepared for you at PnP Rhodesdene. They offer to prepare your meat just the way you like it, while you do your shopping.
Pair this with a basic salad and you have a winning dish on your hands!
You see, there are lots of ways to stay healthy even while being busy. It sometimes takes a little extra cash though.?
Ps.. Don’t forget we will make your smoothie for you at The Health Bar (with an extra bit of love might I add ?) You are welcome to text me anytime with your order and it will be ready for you, at the time which will suit you best.
We also offer a variety of delicious, low carb, snacks which will seriously make you question why you didn’t switch to low carb sooner ?
Please revert back to day 3 for a repeat of meals for today.
Check out some of the photos sent in for the meals from this last week. Gosh! They look great!
have a stunning weekend
