Egg And Turkey Stuffed Avocado

Ingredients
Directions
  1. Set oven to 405 degrees F. Slice avocados in half and scoop out part of the insides to make a larger hole. Either save or immediately eat the part of the removed avocado.
  2. Crack eggs in a bowl.
  3. Use folded/crumbled aluminum foil or a ramekin to prop up the avocado halves on a baking sheet.
  4. Use a spoon to place 1 egg yolk in each of the avocado halves. Then pour the egg white evenly between the halves. Season if desired with pepper, cumin, and a small pinch of sea salt.
  5. Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes. Again, remember to use foil or ramekins to prop up avocados while they bake.

  8. Place the mushroom cap face up. Add lettuce, cabbage, tomato, chicken burger patty, goat cheese (crumble or spread), avocado, and carrots.

Post-Workout Shrimp Pizza

Ingredients
  • serving size of cooked Shrimp or choice of protein (I used 6 oz of cooked shrimp)
  • 1 small multigrain pizza crust (or pita bread if you don't have pizza crust)
  • 3/4 Heirloom Tomato or Roma Tomato cut thinly
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat Feta Cheese
  • Fresh cilantro and lime (always keep these on hand)
  • 2 roasted green chilies (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sauteed Red Onions (optional)
Directions
  1. Set oven to 405 degrees F.
  2. Sautee or grill your onions (or other veggies) in a pan using Kelapo Coconut Oil spray.
  3. Slice tomatoes, chilies, and any other veggies. Place them evenly on top of your pizza crust or pita bread. Add your grilled onions.
  4. Then, add your choice of cooked protein. Cut it into pieces and scatter evenly over the pizza dough.
  5. Sprinkle feta cheese on top. You can add cilantro as well, but I like the taste of fresh cilantro so I save that until the end.
  6. Bake on the oven rack, NOT a baking sheet, for 15 minutes. This will ensure the pizza crust is not soggy, but firm and crispy. Remove from the oven and add any extra topping.
  7. Devour! No really, get after it. You earned it!
