Health knowledge made personal

After work, I either teach HIIT & spinning classes or take Cooper for a walk, so I'm ravenous (may be a bit exaggerated) by dinner time. This time of year, Coach's schedule is chaotic with practice and soon-to-be traveling, so often I'm on my own. Fast and easy, please.  Cook veggies (broccoli & slaw, snap peas, carrots) on medium heat in minimal olive oil. Bring 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add 1-2 TBS of the teriyaki sauce to the veggies + quinoa mixture. Then, top with chia seeds . C'mon, you know I'm obsessed with these mini nuggets of health. 20 minutes or less, dinner is served. And, lunch the next day. The chia seeds add a bit of crunch to the meal and lots of benefits. Did you see the latest edition of Runner's World ?  Chia is the richest plant based source of omega 3's, protein, dietary fiber and antioxidants ( source ). It helps to keep your blood sugar levels even and lowers cholesterol. More recipes for using chia in your diet found HERE . Or, you can just add it to your cereal if you don't feeling like baking. Now, let's all be food voyeurs along with Peas & Crayons for WIAW. You can link your eats up too! *Be sure to visit tomorrow. I'm going to discuss the process of becoming a certified trainer. What was the last book you read? --I just finished A story of a set of twins who began life orphaned by an Indian nun and Brittish surgeon. Scandalous, huh? Such a riveting story, highly recommend it! I'm onto now. |
