Food has always been tough for me. I never learned proper nutrition, especially for a woman with PCOS (which affects insulin), and I’m equally as lazy as I am busy. For me to eat healthily, I need meals that are high in protein, easy to crank out, and easy to clean up.
this is an evolving list that I’ll continue to add to
breakfast:
yogurt + chia seeds - leave in the fridge for 15min, add nuts, honey, cinnamon, etc. on top
bread, nut butter, banana, flax seeds (fiber), hemp seeds (protein), coconut shreds (healthy fats), cinnamon (blood sugar), honey
steel/rolled oats - microwave, add blueberries, walnuts, honey, cinnamon
lunch:
Brussel Sprout Salad - shredded or finely sliced brussels, heat olive oil on med/low heat, add chopped onion garlic (2-3min), add brussels, half lemon juice, 1 tsp of minced lemon zest (3min), add poppy seeds last 30 seconds. Finish with hemp hearts for more protein.
Kale - massage kale with olive oil, add avocado, future beans, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, cranberries. Dressing - olive oil (1/4), half lemon juice, medjool date syrup (tablespoon), dijon mustard (or tahini) (tablespoon), s&p
snack:
Cucumber Spears - ziplock with amino soy sauce, everything seasoning, sesame oil and add in long-cut cucumbers.
Turkey Roll Ups - w nondairy cream cheese, cucumbers, turkey.
Sautéed spinach -
