Healthy Recipes

[Kokoro]

I was going to post this in the models only section, but decided to post it here instead.

I'm trying to get in shape an I'm sure a lot of y'all are as well. Does anybody know any good recipes that are also healthy? I'll start off.

This is one of my favorites. Personally, I like it w/o the tortilla strips. It takes away extra carbs and tastes fine without them.



Marcela Valladolid is hot.

I like the walmart deli broccoli salad a lot. I found a recipe on the internet that I think is spot on. However once you look at the calories in it you realize how horribly bad it is for you. So I ended up playing with the amounts primarily, switching out the mayo for light mayo, and making it Rice Wine Vinegar instead of plain. The reduced version does taste a little different than the original, but I like it, gives it a little extra kick of flavor. The calories were all just googled. I think it's fairly accurate. All in all it's pretty tasty and at only 194 calories per cup you could literally eat the entire batch in a day and still be on 'diet' amount of calories at under 1400 total.

Oh, and I usually let it sit in the fridge for an hour or two before eating. The flavors all blend a bit.
Just to be honest I quite often cheat from the recipe and cook up 4 slices of bacon. So, play with it accordingly if you really like bacon like me. :shhh:

My favorite healthy recipe right now is quinoa salad. I've been eating this almost every day (and I'm still not sick of it yet lol) and it saves well.

1 cup quinoa
1/2 english cucumber (diced)
1/2 a bag of baby spinach (roughly chopped)
a handful of cherry tomatoes (quartered)
a can of chickpeas (rinsed well)
(sometimes I'll add some green onion and cilantro)

Dressing:
lemon juice (1 lemon) or you can use grapefruit juice
extra virgin olive oil (a few tablespoons)
clove of garlic (finely chopped)
salt, pepper, and onion powder to taste.
