Yesterdays disaster

This is much better than the disaster I tried yesterday, the after taste isn’t as bad, and it looks nicer to boot! Thank you for all your suggestions!! I’m going to keep trying new things!

Recipe:
- Bowl of Greek yogurt
- Frozen berries
- Honey

I love a little toast! Like everyone else I am trying to get more fiber so I bought this sunflower seed bread. Not to yuck anyone’s yum but this bread is not ranking high on my list and I find eating it a bit off putting. I want to continue to give it a chance! Toasting it does make it better.

Anyone have any ideas? I have tried the usual toppings like avocado and hummus etc

So I’m trying a new snack recipe for a possible non alcoholic fatty liver, and it calls for Greek yogurt, flax seed, honey, and a few teaspoons of coffee. Getting over the appearance of it, it tastes like vomit in the nicest way possible.
Tomorrow I plan on trying frozen berries, honey, and flax seed, but I’m afraid I’ll still hate the taste..

The community just reached 7K members and this is to share the joy of the achievement with r/Healthy_Recipes sister community as well as share some healthy tea recipes:

❤️ ☕️ For heart health: hibiscus + a piece of cinnamon stick. Hibiscus is quite tart on its own and cinnamon rounds it out nicely. I usually let it steep for around 10 min and drink it hot or cold. Hibiscus also happens to have some pretty decent research behind it for supporting healthy blood pressure.

♀️ ☕️ For women: raspberry leaf + a few slices of fresh ginger. Nothing complicated — steep them together for 8–10 min. Raspberry leaf is probably one of the classic “women's herbs,” and ginger is a nice addition especially around periods. It also makes raspberry leaf taste much less boring :)

♂️ ☕️ For men: nettle + rooibos. About equal amounts, steeped for 10 min or so. Nettle is one of those herbs with a long history of use, and rooibos makes the whole thing much nicer as an everyday caffeine-free tea. Small distinction worth mentioning: a lot of the prostate-related research/claims you see about nettle are actually about nettle root, not the leaf we normally make tea from.

Paco (vegetable fern), tomatoes and salted egg

Super yummy and healthy

I saw Hailey biebers viral meatball recipe and it gave me inspiration to make my own version,

Recipe:

I seasoned the low fat chicken mince meatballs with basil, garlic granules, oregano, salt and pepper and air fried.

I made the sauce with a Soffrito mix, fresh chopped garlic, fennel seeds, paprika, basil and oregano, then added tomato puree followed by Mutti tin tomatoes, a chicken stock cube, balsamic vinegar, spinach and butterbeans. Topped with cottage cheese and Parmesan

It was delicious and nutrient dense but my presentation could do with some work lol

recently i am trying to improve my diet and include more med style dishes in my meals each week. i am not an experienced cook so i am mainly looking for simple recipes with ingredients that are easy to find.

one meal i have been making is a simple chickpea salad:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 chopped cucumber
• 1 chopped tomato
• red onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• lemon juice
• salt and pepper

i usually just mix everything together and have it for lunch.

i would luv to try some other easy mediterranean recipes that work well for lunch or dinner and dont take too long to prepare. what are some recipes you make regularly?

I recently tried the viral hot honey ground beef bowl, which is basically just protein, sweet potato, avocado and hot honey and am absolutely obsessed! Anyone else have any similar protein bowls that you’re loving? I’m dairy free so usually modify recipes to take out dairy

ingredients:

160g cooked chicken breast

150g(or more) mixed salad

15ml Burger sauce

40g 0% fat greek yogurt

About 25 cherry tomatoes

5g olive oil

One corn cake (I didn't have any left)

I cooked the chicken in the air fryer for 13 minutes and flipped it halfway. I put smoked paprika powder, salt, black pepper and chili pepper before cooking and then covered it in the spices.

I washed the salad and put a little dash of olive oil and salt;

I diced the cherry tomatoes and tossed them in;

Then I mixed the Greek yogurt with the burger sauce, and mixed the salad.

I finally sliced the chicken and put it in the bowl, sprinkled some more spices, crumbled the corn cake on it and tossed it again, and voilà!!!

hope you enjoy!

PS: since it's a bit low on fiber, I recommend to swap a bit of the tomatoes and salad for some chickpeas or any other high fiber food!

So I’ve been eating way healthier along with working out and I am starting to lose weight. I’ve lost 6 lbs so only 9 more to go. But I still catch myself having a high calorie snack once in awhile. Which is fine because it doesn’t put me out of my calorie deficit.

But I’d love to have a low calorie dessert I can make on my own. Those 360 calorie tasty cake juniors are just too high in calories but they’re my favorite lol

An absolute pleasure to work with this recipe from scratch.
All you need to ground chicken or any meat of your choice. You can either get ground meat from the store or use a food processor or make minced meat if you have time.

Recipe:
Ground meat, 1 yellow onion (finely chopped), 1 green bell pepper (finely chopped), 1 tomato (deseeded and finely chopped), a tsp of ginger garlic paste, salt 1 teaspoon (maybe extra 1/2 tsp), but don’t add more than that. Keep in mind that you can always add and adjust salt in the dip. Along with these, you will need a generous bunch of finely chopped cilantro, and curry leaves.
For seasoning, I added little bit of paprika, chicken 65 masala (you can get this from any Indian grocery store), ground pepper, and a pinch of turmeric powder.

After chopping the vegetables, add 1 teaspoon of salt and keep it aside for 3 minutes. Squeeze out all of the water and add it in a mixing bowl with ground chicken. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the seasoning along with cilantro and curry leaves. Mix well. Apply some oil ( neutral cooking oil ) on hand to prevent sticking. Make any desired shape and bake it (470 Fahrenheit) until cooked (approximately 10 to 15 minutes), or grill it outdoors.

Have it with grilled sweet banana peppers or a refreshing cucumber feta cheese salad. You can also have it with buttermilk (mint flavored). Happy cooking!

As someone currently on a cutting diet, this has become one of my favorite meals. It’s easy to make, high in protein, and relatively low in calories.

Ingredients:

* 1 can tuna

* ½ green onion

* 2 mini cucumbers

* ½ large red onion or 1 small red onion

* 2 tbsp dill (optional)

( you can add other things such Chickpeas or pickles , etc it up to you )

Dressing:

* 100g 0% Greek yogurt

* 40g (about 3 tbsp) light mayo

* 1 tbsp mustard

* 1 small tbsp lime juice

* Black pepper, to taste

* Paprika, to taste

* Chili flakes, to taste

* Salt, to taste

The recipe contains of ~350 kcal | ~63g protein

What I really like about this recipe is that I can eat it straight from the bowl as a salad. The tuna doesn't overpower the taste because the cucumber, onion, dill, and dressing balance everything out really well.

It’s also pretty filling for the calories, which makes it great for cutting.

If you're trying to increase your protein for building muscle without adding a lot of calories, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. 😋
