Costco has a delicious and nutritious salad, called Sweet Kale with 7 superfoods. I omit the poppyseed dressing and the nuts/craisins for a very nutritious, low calorie salad. Add chicken or the protein of your choice for a yummy lunch.
This is a childhood dish I grew up on - my German mother learned it from my Polish Grandmother. I've updated it with a bit more spice (cilantro) and peppers.
Texas Sheet Cake gets a little healthier by substituting 1/2 the butter in the cake with "Purple Puree" and 1/2 the sugar with Splenda, and Fat Free Yogurt for the Sour Cream
Make that Brownie from mix just a bit lighter by using egg whites and unsweetened applesauce
Bite into muffins that will make you think of Cherry Pie, for less than 100 calories each!
Looking for a refreshing smoothie for summer? Look no further ... this smoothie provides a nice protein punch and is a great way to utilize that watermelon sitting in your fridge!
Beans are used to replace 1/2 the fat in this recipe that can be used as a base for chocolate, butterscotch, date, or raisin oatmeal cookies
A hearty potato soup recipe with mustard greens is great on a cold day. This healthy soup recipe packs an additional nutrient-punch with the healthy greens.
Potatoes are good against inflammation and for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.
They also taste fantastic in soup, and add real weight to the meal in order to fill you up on a cold winter evening.
Mustard greens are super greens with tons of antioxidants and cancer-fighting chemicals. Their calcium content protects bone health.
Replenish your protein with an after workout smoothie made with delicious cherries and vanilla.
My husband likes it hot ... so I adapted an old chili recipe by adding HOT green chiles, more chili powder, and increased the fiber of this dish by adding 2 more cans of beans. This is a very flavoful dish, great with a salad (or on top of one), and can be served with cheese and onions. A dollop of fat free sour cream will tame it (a bit).
These protein smoothies are great after a hike to replenish your protein while you cool down.
Easy high fiber quick soup dinner made from canned black beans based upon a dish we were served in Puerto Rico. Can be made vegetarian by omitting the ham.
You won't miss the fat or all the sugar in this modified zucchini bread. High in fiber, as well as flavor, this gets rave reviews. If you want to reduce the fat further, omit the nuts.
Imagine light fluffy muffins that taste like carrot cake, but without all the fat and sugar. At just under 113 calories a muffin, this makes a perfect accompniament to a green smoothie for breakfast! :)
