This is a little bit of a random post. A few things compiled into one. Remember that frozen yogurt made from bananas? Well I told you I would share if I came up with any good combinations. Banana and peaches is pretty spectacular. Find out how to make it using this strategy I shared.
I have also been preparing all my vegetables in advance. I cut them up after coming home from the store and they are ready to snack on or use for meals all week. I have also been adding a quarter of a cucumber, two cut up pieces of celery, and spinach into my shakes (like my protein shakes or my Crystal Light, yogurt and fruit shakes) now that we have a Vitamix. It is really helping me get more veggies into my diet and the Vitamix does such a great job at pulverizing everything into a wonderful smooth treat!
I am doing the same with chopped veggies that are used to cook with. My favorite combination right now is butternut squash, zucchini, carrots, and onion. I chop it up and roast half of it and freeze the rest for later. For roasting I toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. I then top with some cooked chicken for lunch or add chicken and quinoa for dinner. I like a little dash of cumin on it too. Sooo good.
So that is what I have been eating lately. Any good clean eating tips or tricks you want to share?
I agree, bananas and peaches are pretty spectacular together. :) I also love banana-blueberry smoothies.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking into clean eating, but am afraid my family won't be too thrilled about it. Thanks for sharing a couple of great ideas to get me going!
ReplyDeleteI always feel better when I eat like this! Good for you!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI always try to stock up on veggies like this for the week. It's always so much easier when you can just reach in the fridge and grab a baggie instead of having to prepare something in the morning!
