I am always looking for new recipes! I have my go-to’s, of course, just like everyone, but when I really feel energized (believe me, it takes a lot of energy), I hit the web to try and find a recipe to match the ingredients in my house.
This first recipe was inspired by a pit stop at Starbucks! Their sous vide eggs are delicious and chock full of protein so for me, this is a great breakfast option.
Copycat Starbucks Sous Vide Eggs
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cottage chees
- pinch garlic powder
- handful shredded cheese
- pinch salt and pepper
- bacon or ham optional
Instructions
Blend together until smooth. In a greased microwave proof dish, place bacon first, then pour mixture over top. Put a mug of water in microwave with the egg and cook for 2-2 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
Lunch is next, and I typically either go for leftovers from the night before, or make a big salad! I am looking to add healthy fat, complex carbohydrates and lean protein to my salad, and this recipe below fits the bill!
Chicken Salad with Quinoa, Chick Peas and Dates
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts cooked and chopped
- 1/2 cucumber chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cooked quinoa

- 1/4 cup chopped dates
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 lemon juiced

This type of dinner is perfect for leftovers the next day. I have kept it lower carb, but you can always serve this with rice or quinoa if you wish.
