Are Mediterranean Tacos a thing?

Are Mediterranean Tacos a thing??? Or did I just make this up??

I used Siete Foods taco shells which are grain-free & 14g carbs for 2 shells, spring mix🍃turkey burger (but use whatever), PLAIN Greek yogurt for the sour cream -we were out of Tzatziki sauce😢, feta cheese and kalamata olives! Then I drizzled Lemon Garlic dressing by Tessemaes! 🤩

 

 

Tacos with low carb wraps!

Tacos🌮 ..with low carb wraps !!!

Now hold up☝🏼, don’t get overly excited ☺️.. you can’t expect these wraps to taste like a warm, soft flour tortilla🌯.. they’re NuCo coconut wraps (6g carbs per wrap) from Amazon. If you put all your favorite taco ingredients in, and focus on those tastes and the fact that it’s significantly lower in carbs, you’ll appreciate the taste more & get accustomed to it😉

👉🏼p.s. i use & prefer plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Try it!

Chocolate Greek Yogurt

Yessss??? or Nooooope

This is chocolate Greek yogurt I made with chocolate protein powder & Fage Greek yogurt that I sweetened with Stevia. I just took about 1/4 scoop chocolate protein, added water to it until it was the consistency of chocolate syrup. Then I mixed it into my Greek yogurt & added 2 organic Stevia packets. It’s good as a treat just like that! I only did the drizzle & chocolate chips for show exclusively for you.. (as if I didn’t eat the chips).

I don’t track macros but if you DO & struggle to get in protein, this is 23g protein.

Recovery snack

recovery snackJust a pretty lil snack🍓! Plain Greek Yogurt sweetened to taste with stevia, 1/4 scoop Chocolate “Recover” (mixed with a little water until it’s a pudding texture💗), & 4-5 strawberries! It’s 23g protein because of the Greek Yogurt & Recover pudding!
And …no added sugars!

Who’s got a sweet-tooth?!

Mint chocolate chip ShakeOThis is my go-to recipe right now!

This is one of my small meals every day; usually mid-morning or afternoon when I want something sweet. Questions about it? Comment here or Message me on Facebook

When I first started Shakeology several years ago, I had it for dinner w/ a small salad. My evening eating was out of control at the time! I’d be done with work for the day & try to eat a healthy dinner but my cravings & stress-release-eating would take over. Shakeo helped me put an end to that bad habit.

But even now, I still occasionally have Shakeology for dinner when I’m in a time crunch & off to one of my son’s games or if I’ve been off track with eating all day. Saying “screw it” at night & ordering the pizza or finishing off a box of cereal usually leads to regret (I only know from experience). You feel less in need of splurges when you get the right nutrients in your body

Easy, Fast, and Delish!

Quick mealWhat MEAL is your weakness???

This was my quick lunch today in case healthy food pics inspire you to eat better!
I don’t do tuna often but in a time crunch, this is great! Low sodium tuna, mixed with a little mustard & plain Greek yogurt (instead of mayo👌), tomatoes🍅 & some guacamole on a toasted Ezekiel muffin. DELISH!😍

Brown Rice Wrap

Brown Rice WrapThis is an Applegate Farms Turkey burger with grape tomatoes, avocado, olives, spring mix & non-fat plain Greek yogurt (bcuz it tastes like sour cream but is HIGH protein for a condiment), all on a FoodForLife brown rice wrap.

These wraps are kinda chewy. If you’re used to white flour wraps, these will take some getting used to..

Most “clean” foods will grow on you in time if you give up the high sugar/carbs/sodium foods (& forget what they taste like).

And yes, these kinda fall apart when you load them up like this..

A small price to pay to see RESULTS👍 🙌 😁.

Some of my favorite PROTEIN sources

Protein SourcesCan’t see each thing🔍? Just enlarge it👌

I’m a strong believer that each person needs to find what works best for THEM but I get asked a lot how I fit in 100-125g protein per day (I’m only about 5’5″ & weigh probably about 125-128lbs.. I rarely ever weigh myself btw). I follow the recommended guideline for building muscle of .8g-1g of protein per pound of your ideal body weight (in other words, if you are 100 pounds overweight, don’t consume an additional 100g protein per day).

I don’t think these need a description but if you wonder how/why/when I eat them, I’m putting together “A TYPICAL DAY” document of my meals which you can download📥.

Come back to my page here bcuz I’ll have the link to that within the week.

Please let me know if this is helpful 🙏😉

Do pictures of healthy food help?

One of my small meals today (and I washed it down with a piece of dark chocolate 🍫😉).
~350 calories (400 with chocolate) & ~30g protein💥
I know my meals are SUPER boring to most but this way of eating works for me because it’s easy & quick👍! This is just turkey burger (we grill a bunch 2x/week to put in stuff), avocado, tomato, & romaine on a LIGHTLY TOASTED (that’s key👌) Ezekiel English muffin ..all to be dipped in a mix of plain Greek Yogurt & Spicy Dijon mustard🙌

Keep it simple

Daily Salad Challenge in a Wrap

Ezekiel wrap daily salad challengeOk so today, admittedly, I put my salad on an Ezekiel wrap! I just wanted some BREAD with it (& Ezekiel almost doesn’t count as bread). The ‪

DailySaladChallenge‬ wouldn’t be called a *challenge* if it were EASY to have a salad everrryday…. ‎keepinitreal‬
Btw, this has Spring Mix, avocado, salsa, turkey burger, sweet peppers, and I dipped it in nonfat-plain Greek yogurt (pretending to be Sour Cream )
