5 Easy [HEALHTY] Pinterest Recipes

Today we're talking Pinterest food.

Healthy Pinterest food that I've found to be tasty and pretty easy.

Food is a big deal in my life, if you couldn't tell. 
 


I love to eat it and I love to make it.

Since I'm back on the health train, 
I thought I would share some fun, yummy recipes that 
I found [and used] on Pinterest.
 
1] Cookie Dough Greek Yogurt

I made this recipe earlier in the week, with a few modifications and it was fantastic. I added in a scoop of protein powder, a teaspoon of Nutella and just used regular chocolate chips, instead of minis. I decided not to freeze the mixture, but instead had small portions after lunch each day this week. If you like chocolate, peanut butter and need an afternoon sweet treat, I totally recommend making this quick, cheap easy snack.

2] Avocado, Mango, Tomato Salsa

This recipe just screams summer to me which is something I'm desperately wanting right now, with all the snow here on the East coast. I've been feeling snacky lately, so I'm trying to find new recipes to curb the snack monster. I prepped this recipe Tuesday night for work and it was super delicious when I tasted it that night. I have to admit, it wasn't as great the next morning, but I think that's because the juice from the tomatoes and mango kind of muddled the avocado. Going forward, I'll still prep things, but keep them separate until I want to eat the dip. If you're craving summer, try this recipe.

 3] Philly Cheese-steak Stuffed Peppers
[inspiration]
C and I are always looking for new ways to make dinners that taste great, but have little to NO processed carbs in them. This is especially important on non workout days, where we choose to add in more fats instead. I found this recipe on Pinterest awhile ago and have made it before. We had it on our meal plan this week and it made a yummy addition to our normal  rotation. There were a few modifications [we cooked our own 'roast' the night before instead of using roast beef] but it was still a pretty quick and tasty meal.

4] Sweet Potato Chips

I love me some homemade sweet potato chips. They give that crunch I'm always craving, but are a gobzillion times better for you than normal processed carbs. Word to the wise, you really truly need a mandolin to make these chips. Trying to cut them thin enough with a knife is way too much of a hassle and for the most part a mandolin will keep all of the chips the same size. Which comes in KEY when baking them in the oven. The chips are a slight labor of love, but completely worth it.

5] Tilapia packets

 While I haven't replicated this exact recipe yet, I have my own variation that I've used. Fish is such a great, lean meal and when you 'beef' it up with some veggies a very filling meal too. I love how fresh this looks, with the dill, lemon and greens. Hopefully I'll be able to give this one a try sometime next week. 

Do you have any fun, healthy recipes to share this week?

  18. Oo, we just picked up some fish, so I'll have to try those packets...and I seriously need that salsa. You're right, the east coast has just been so miserable, I can't wait for summer!...or really even spring. Heck, just above freezing would be great!
