Oh hello darlings! (England Accent) Yay! Today is one of my favorite blog posts because it’s about food. I am a huge foodie and I absolutely love trying new recipes. I enjoy coming up with new recipes as well and the most important thing is they have to be quick. Eating healthy is actually so good and not boring. People always ask me if I hate what I eat. NOPE, because I make my meals taste good with lots of nutrients to fuel my body! So today I am sharing my favorite go-to lunches I’ve been enjoying lately because, why not? HERE WE GO…
First salad is a Kale Salmon salad.
Ingredients:
For the Salmon:
- 1/4 cup of honey (raw and organic)
- 3 tbs liquid aminos (you can find it HERE)
Marinate the salmon for at least 3-4 hours. I actually marinated it overnight and Surge and I grilled it. It is delicious!
For the dressing:
- 1 lemon
- drizzle some olive oil
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp tahini sauce (you can find it HERE)
For the Salad:
- Kale
- cucumber
- green onions
Directions:
- Start by grilling your salmon. If you don’t have a grill, you can bake it at 350 for about 20 min or you can also fry it on a pan with some Avocado Oil.
Once the salmon is cooking, make your dressing and set it aside.
Cut up the greens and add the dressing on top. Mix it well. Once the salmon is cooked to your liking, place it on top of your salad and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Second salad is a Tuna salad.
Ingredients:
For the Tuna:
- 1 can of Tuna (I get mine a Costco)
- chipotle paleo mayo (you can find it HERE)
- green onions
- vegan cheese (I use this one HERE)
For the salad:
- lettuce
- cucumber
- tomatoes
- green onions
Directions:
Mix the tuna ingredients together. Once that’s all mixed set it aside. Cut up the veggies and toss everything into a bowl and mix it all together.
Third salad is a cauliflower salad that is so tasty and so flavorful.
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
- Mrs. dash
- salt
- pepper
For the cauliflower:
- 1 head of cauliflower, or you can get it already cut up at Trader Joe’s
- 1 lime
- 1 tbs avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- handful of cilantro
- salt and pepper to taste
For the avocado cream:
- 1-2 avocados
- 1 lime
- a couple of Jalapeños
- 2 tbs of oil
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tbs of water
Directions:
Cut up the chicken, season it and start cooking on a pan. Mixing it every couple of minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, turn the oven on to 350 and start making your cauliflower rice. Once the oven is preheated, put your cauliflower on a pan and bake it for about 25 minutes.
While the cauliflower is in the oven and the chicken is cooking, blend all of your avocado ingredients to make it creamy. Set it aside or in the fridge.
After everything is ready and cooked, cut up your greens and toss everything into a bowl and mix.
Fourth is my all time favorite, I call it the Paleo Poke bowl.
Ingredients:
For the protein:
- smoked salmon (I get mine at Costco)
For the salad:
- greens
- cucumber
- green onions
- baby tomatoes
- quinoa
- 1/2 avocado
For the dressing:
- Liquid Amions
- Sriracha
Directions:
Start the stove for your quinoa. Once that’s cooking, cut up all the veggies and toss everything into a bowl.
Once the qinuoa is cooked, toss it into the salad bowl and add the smoked salmon. Drizzle the dressing on top and mix. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Last but not least, my favorite Tuna Crisp Bread.
Ingredients:
For the toppings:
- you will need the CrispBread (I get these at Trader Joe’s and they look like this HERE)
- can of tuna
- chipotle mayo
- green onions
- lettuce
Directions:
Mix the tuna together. Once that’s all mixed, take a CrispBread and add lettuce on top. Then add the tuna over the lettuce and it’s ready to devour.
Well, that’s all folks! I hope these simple and easy recipes help you stay healthy and energized! Let me know if you have any questions and I will keep recipes like this coming. All of these ingredients are found mostly at Trader Joes, Costco and Sprouts. Pretty much any healthy grocery stores.
