HEALTH IS WEALTH

TRIED THEM MYSELF, SO TASTE AND "YUMMY-NESS" IS 101%. :)
And I also used breakfast, lunch and dinner as my sub categories for better and healthier intake of food. Since we are already talking about being healthy, why not take it to another level. Nothing to lose right? Anyways, here are my entries:

FIRST, breakfast: (servers 2)

Poached Egg & Avocado Breakfast Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 avocado
  • 7 grape tomatoes
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • 1/4 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 Tbsp pistachios
  • salt/pepper

Instructions

  • Poach the eggs.
  • Create the salads by layering the lettuce, tomatoes, cooked quinoa, avocado, and pistachios.
  • Add the poached eggs and top with salt/pepper to taste.

Shopping

  • Just grab all of these in the nearest market, supermarket, grocery, food stall, its also my best breakfast because you can just make this in under 10 minutes, perfect before going to work, no hassle, so its no worries.

Benefits:

  • This meal gives us the energy we need until we get to lunch.
  • Perfect combination of reds, greens, fruits and proteins to bring out the energy you need for work.
  • This is also a "heavy breakfast salad" so im sure you wont get hungry until lunch.

SECOND, lunch (serves 1)

Tuna Wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 large whole wheat tortilla
  • 1 batch Avocado Tahini Dip (You can but this in your nearest vegan shop)
  • 100 g cooked tuna (or 1 small can)
  • 3 leaves romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 small cucumber
  • 1/2 bell pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare Avocado Tahini Dip.
  • Wash and thinly slice cucumber and bell pepper.
  • Wash and dry lettuce.
  • Lay out a large piece of wax paper.
  • Place whole wheat tortilla on top.
  • Spread Avocado Tahini Dip on half of the tortilla.
  • Place lettuce, tuna, cucumber and bell pepper on dip.
  • Roll everything into a wrap, then roll around wax paper forming pockets at top and bottom and secure with either adhesive tape or a string.
  • Cut in the middle and enjoy!

Shopping

  • The only hard item to find here is the avocado tahini dip which could be found usually in vegan stores and health marts, all the other ingredients are found in your nearest market, supermarket, grocery, food stall.

Benefits

  • This is a wrap, basically making use of a wheat wrap, so its really a heavy meal, thinking that you have tuna and avocado with you.
  • Expect that you wont be getting hungry until dinner time.
  • This is the heaviest meal among the three because the time from lunch to dinner has the longest wait time, so you need all the energy, nutrients and "tummy filling" you need until dinner arrives.
  • Plus, the tahini dip is perfect for concentration in work, in school, or in whatever it is you are doing.

LAST (but definitely not the least), dinner (serves 2)

Spicy Asian Chicken Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 bags shredded carrots
  • 2 bags of "Cruciferous Crunch" shredded salad from Trader Joe's (alternately you could use slaw mix + shredded kale)
  • 2 Tbs black sesame seeds
  • 1 jalapeno sliced very fine into halves (more or less according to taste, I like it SPICY!)
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, torn into shreds
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 4 Tbs Tamari (tamari is a gluten free soy sauce) or regular soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs Sriracha
  • 5-6 drops liquid stevia (alternately you could use a drizzle of honey or maple syrup but I like to keep it sugar free)

Instructions

  • Simply put all ingredients into a large plastic bag and shake vigorously until well incorporated. Adjust flavors as needed .
  • Pour into bowls or onto plates and enjoy!!

Shopping

  • Again, this is an easy mix because you can buy all of this in your nearest market, supermarket, grocery, food stall.

Benefits

  • This is a light salad meal, perfect for dinner since you wont be using too much energy since you are asleep.
  • Its a healthy meal due to the jalapenos, sriracha and sesame seeds which help our body store energy until we use it for the next day.
  • Also, this meal is great if you have trouble sleeping because of the stevia or honey which helps us relax thus, making helping us sleep better
  • The sriracha helps our body by making our blood flow better through our veins because of its anti-coagulant properties.
