Turkey and cheese lunch-

Here is another super easy fast lunch-

2- low fat string cheese sticks
2- slices of low sodium turkey breast
Hand full of cherry/grape tomatoes
A few sticks of celery

I can eat cherry/grape tomatoes like candy- I love them!
These posts are really about what I eat on a regular basis.
Fruit and dairy are not "showgirl" approved diet items.
I tend to eat my fruit early in the day and then I switch to veggies in the afternoon and evening.
I take in about 75-100oz of water a day-  On the days I don't get enough water I can totally feel it.

Berry Protein Shake

Yum Yum Yum-
Here is a mid morning or early afternoon protein packed delicious shake-
8oz low fat (1%) or skim milk
1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
1/2 cup of frozen berries (Costco has a great bag of frozen berries 0 sugar added)
Blend up and drink-
I use my Magic Bullet blender. Small and easy to clean - Also travels well!

-Eating well doesn't have to be hard or super time consuming.  It really just takes a little planning ahead.  Honestly, once eating every 2-3 hours becomes a habit - well, it's no big deal- 

I will be traveling for speaking engagements over the next week and a half.  I will post how I pack food/snacks for travel.
I don't really want to leave my meals to chance - so, I plan ahead.


Power Oatmeal

Oatmeal is probably my all time favorite breakfast.  This is the way to kick off an amazing healthy day-

On the stove top-
1 cup of water
1/3 cup of whole grain oatmeal
2 tbsp of ground flaxseed
1 tbsp of Agave nectar
1 tbsp of chopped almonds (can use walnuts instead)


Bring water to boil, add oatmeal, flax and agave-
Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with almonds
Add a slash of low fat milk (optional) 
Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.....


Love, love, love this breakfast....
