Veggies, veggies, veggies… are you getting enough in your diet?!!
I struggle with it every day. For
me, the most difficult part of eating healthy isn't giving up bread or dessert;
it’s eating my vegetables. I'm making
progress though. I'm guessing I'm not
the only one with Hashimoto’s disease that’s having trouble inviting leafy green
things to dinner. So I thought I would
share a full day of meals with you and hopefully give you some new ideas.
Scrambled
eggs and ham. Simple,
high in protein and keeps my sugar level steady. And yes, bacon too if you like it!
Lunch:
Smoothie: Blend 2
cups of greens, ¼ of a medium cucumber, 2 tablespoons of pure protein, and 2
cups of water. After that is blended,
add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 frozen banana, 2 frozen cherries, and 6
frozen strawberries (I've been perfecting this recipe for a while and I can
tell you that it’s a bit sour without the 2 cherries). This recipe makes two 16 ounce drinks or four
8 ounce drinks.
Tuna
Salad: Mix sliced celery and
pickles, one avocado. Drain a can of soy-free tuna in water; add it to the veggie mix and pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin
olive oil over it. Then add some organic
honey mustard and blend it all together.
Dinner:
Quinoa: cook quinoa in a rice cooker; substitute one
cup of water with 8 ounces of organic chicken broth. Season to taste.
Squash
and Zucchini: grill or sauté
these veggies in some extra virgin olive oil; chop up in bite-sized
pieces. Season to taste.
Chicken: organic rotisserie chicken chopped up, heated
and mixed with quinoa and veggies.
I hope this helps you add at least one thing to your meals
that you enjoy.
Eat well Hashi’s!
“The Lord’s name is a strong tower; the
righteous run to him, and are safe.”

18:10
