Delicious Morning Pick-Me-Up

Nutrition: 335 calories, 10 grams of protein, 58 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat
Ingredients:

• 1 low-sugar, low-fat vanilla yogurt
• 1 banana
• 1 tbsp chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Stir the walnuts into the vanilla yogurt.
2. Serve as a fruit dip for the banana.

This is an extremely simple snack, but will still give you protein, carbs, fiber and healthy essential fatty acids.

Power Lunch

Ingredients:
1 cup spinach
4 oz grilled chicken breast, sliced
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp low-fat Caesar salad mixed with 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
Spinach already comes in individual leaves, so you don’t have to worry about ripping it apart in the morning when you're pressed for time.

Grill some chicken over the weekend and freeze it to increase the simplicity of preparing a lunchtime salad.

Add chicken to the spinach before going to work. In a separate container, mix the low-fat Caesar salad dressing with olive oil.


Mid-Afternoon Chips And Salsa

Ingredients:
1 whole-grain soft tortilla
1 tbsp olive oil
1⁄2 tsp sea salt
1 can tuna
1⁄4 cup salsa

Directions:

The night before you plan to have a snack, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-to-high heat and tear up a soft tortilla into smaller bite-sized pieces.

Place them in the oil and let them sit for a couple of minutes. Remove them from the oil and place on a napkin to allow the oil to drain.

Sprinkle a small amount of sea salt for flavor. Mix the salsa and tuna together and place in a container for the next day.

Serve the tortilla chips with the tuna and salsa dip at work.

If you don't like tuna, use beef, chicken, tofu shrimp or any other protein you want to use.

Dine Smart Fish Dinner
 

Ingredients:
4 oz tilapia fish

2 slices lemon 

1⁄2 tbsp olive oil 

2 cups broccoli 

1⁄2 cup sliced carrots 

1 cup zucchini
1⁄4 cup chicken broth

Directions:
Brush olive oil on tilapia fish and place in a casserole dish. Top with slices of lemon and other spices you desire.

Place in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees about 45 minutes or until fish flakes.

Ten minutes before the fish comes out of the oven, place the chicken broth in a saucepan over medium to high heat.

Add in broccoli, carrots, zucchini and cook until desired tenderness. Sprinkle any additional spices you enjoy and serve with fish right out of the oven.

Try other fish if you don't want tilapia.
