| Happy April:From Your Celebrity Automatic Body Coach! |
|
Summer is rapidly approaching and there's no better time to "hop" into a good healthy routine. This month I want you to focus on the one single thing that will make the biggest change in your life. It will change the way you look and feel and while it takes a bit of creative thinking, it's life changing and I really mean that, LIFE CHANGING!
Are you ready for the ONE SMALL CHANGE? Here you go, let's do this!
This month I want you to focus on eating foods that have ONLY ONE INGREDIENT.
I'm sure your head is spinning and it should be because I want you to get creative. You can combine your "one ingredient foods" but try not to buy them already combined.
The benefits:
- No need to de-code complicated food labels. Most foods that have one ingredient don't have, or need, food labels. Example: apples, berries, green beans, chicken, nuts, etc.
- Save money and spare yourself calories and chemicals found in store bought sauces. Instead, use fresh spices and citrus Ex: fresh rosemary, basil, garlic, a squeeze of lemon or lime, fresh tomatoes, etc.
- Cleanse for the summer! No need for complicated fancy cleanses. The simple act of getting processed foods out of your diet will do wonders for your digestive system.
Don't forget to add in your Skinne, Fuel, and Energe to keep you on track. Yes, they have more then one ingredient, but these ingredients are worth the exception and I want to be sure you all get enough protein, keep your fat on the move, and kick the cravings all while feeling amazing and energetic!
Here is a list to start with in order to get you thinking creatively:
Protein - Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Shrimp, Flank steak and Beans just to name a few.
Carbs - Quinoa, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Sweet potatoes/yams, fruit and endless veggies.
Fats - Avocado, nuts and nut butters, coconut oil, olives and olive oil, seeds.
Here are a few swaps that will help:
Taco shells, tortillas, and bread - Replace with lettuces wraps/cups. Romaine and cabbage are great as well!
Chips and salty snacks - Use instead apple chips, kale chips, sliced cucumber, roasted chickpeas, endive leaves.
Pasta - Exchange for zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, shredded cabbage, or eggplant slices for lasagna noodles.
Sweets – Reach for apples baked with oats honey and cinnamon, Greek yogurt blended with berries and frozen into popsicle molds, nuts drizzled with honey, frozen grapes.
Salad dressings – Try olive oil and vinegar with a splash of citrus. Add in a bit of maple syrup or stevia or herbs to change it up.
Skip the mayo and blend up some chickpeas with peppers, herbs, or spices to create a simple hummus.
Make homemade pesto with basil, garlic, nuts, and olive oil to top your chicken breast or veggies and serve over a bed of quinoa.
Mash up an avocado add in a little a little lemon, sea salt and pepper and cilantro for a perfect spread of dip for all your veggies or meats.
Dice up some tomatoes with onions, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro and parsley for a great burst of flavor for eggs, salads, or mixed in with ground turkey over brown rice or in a lettuce cup.

This is one of my favorite healthy snacks! |
Ingredients:1 avocado
5 large basil leaves
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons of lime juice
¼ teaspoon of sea salt
1 dash of pepper
1 cucumber
1 sprinkle paprika for the topDirections:1. Use a mandolin to cut the cucumber into long thin slices.
2. Blend all the ingredients (except the cucumber and paprika) in a food processor and thinly spread on the cucumber.
3. Roll the slices up and sprinkle with paprika.
You can do the same thing with hummus.
The cucumber is watery and softens quickly so assemble right before you plan on eating them! |
