This is a simple breakfast. Its something that I do often. I waffled over if I should post it because it is so simple. But it is delicious vegetarian, full of protein, nutrients, and vegetarian. Which my body seems to run better on anyway. =)
It took about 15 minutes all in all to make.

I hope you get a chance to try this delicious and healthy breakfast. I added a plain bagel to get some carbs in. Let me know what you think.
Today I made a quick easy lunch because I had to work in the morning, and have to work again tonight. So quick, healthy, and easy is the name of the game for today’s food.
I just got done with a two day Muay Thai seminar. I am giving my body a rest day. Normally I would do my run and weight lifting workout today.
So today’s lunch was cut up veggies (radishes, sweet peppers), boiled eggs, dates and a 1/2 cup of yogurt with Za’atar mixed in.

Over all I am feeling great. I have not had a D.O.M.s hit at all. I am a little tired. I can feel the fatigue in my muscles but not a lot of pain.
I am thinking this is great. I loved the seminar, and learned so much.
Thanks for reading, and I will be back to my regularly scheduled program soon. Keep being awesome, and keep working to be the best you that you can be.
As I have said before eat the rainbow. It is a great way to get your vitamins and nutrients in.
I thought about whether to show this, as it is not exactly “instagram pretty”. Its a cross between a hummus and a guacamole. You can add any spices you want to it to season to taste. Some of the things I have done with this is, lemon juice, onions, cayenne, garlic, and jalapenos.
Today what I made was canned garbanzo beans, avocado, tomato, pickle juice in absence of lemon, and chopped dill pickles. I stuffed that into a pita and added fresh veggies, and it was oh so good.
Tastey Guammus Recipe
Ingredients:
1 whole pita
1/2 avocado smashed
1/2 or euro 4 oz cup of garbanzo beans canned smashed
6 cherry tomatoes sliced
1 1/2 tbs or euro 30 mls of pickle juice or more to taste
8 slices of dill pickles chopped up or sweet and spicy pickles would be good too
Veggies of your choice sliced up to stuff in pita ( I did cucumber, and bell pepper, cause that is what I had)
seasoning to taste
Directions:
cut the pita in half
prepare the guammus, in a bowl smash the garbanzo beans and avocado together. I did not have lemon juice so I substituted pickle juice for the acid component.
Chop up the pickles, and tomatoes adding them to the guammus mixture.
stuff guammus into the pita, and add veggies

Just think the colors in your veggies are the sun trapped and transformed to make a nutrient dense lunch for you. =)
Thank you for reading again. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it. Let me know what you think.
I prepped only three lunches this week for myself, because I
knew I would have time to make food for myself at lunch time on Tuesday and Thursday.
I wanted to make one of my favorite meals.
It has 10.9 grams of protein in it and is so flavorful. It is made of whole foods except the soy sauce. That can be left out if you wish, and substituted with just a pinch of salt. Not only is this super tasty but is so pretty to look at.
This is quick and healthy fast food. =) You don’t need a culinary
degree to make this, just a pan, and a few minutes.
One of the rules in culinary school you learn is that you
eat with your eyes first, then your nose, and you mouth. What that means is if
the meal looks appealing to you, you will enjoy it much more. Just take a look
at those garish colored foods. They do not automatically make you think mmm I
want to tuck into that.
Anyway, here is what I made, the recipe and the stats for food:
Fried Egg on an Avocado half, and tomato cucumber salad
Recipe:
Yield: 1 serving (to scale up just multiply by the amount of people you have)
201 g heirloom cherry tomatoes sliced in half ( I used approximately 10 tomatoes
155 g cucumber, chopped into bite size pieces ( I used approximately half of an English cucumber.)
9 g of green onion chopped (I used one whole green onion, green and white parts)
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp soy sauce (alternately you can use a pinch of salt)
1/4 tsp of Olive oil (I used an EVVO that had garlic in it as well)
1/4 tsp lemon juice
Lemon Zest to taste
I large egg fried
1/2 tsp veggie oil
Directions:
Cut avocado in half, and score avocado, and sprinkle with sea salt if you wish
Cook egg, with a 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil
Cut heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion, add to a bowl.
In another bowl assemble, the balsamic vinegar, soy, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
I hope you get a chance to enjoy this recipe. I have also alternately just made the salad and had a boiled egg with it or, eaten two avocado halves with two fried eggs on it. Change it and make it yours. Enjoy and keep eating well. Let me know what you think.
Tips:
Acidulate the other half of the avocado, and put it in a ziplock bag. You can use it the next day or later for a snack and the acid will keep it from turning brown.
Score your avocado before placing egg on it. This will make it easier to eat if it is just under ripe.
This meal was only 300 calories and it did not meet my protein requirements for this meal so I added another egg. As with any recipe alter it as you need for your body.
