Meal #1: 6am Eggwhites and 2 slices of lean ham on a slice of Ezekiel bread.
Meal #2: 9am Cottage cheese, egg white, and oatmeal pancakes
Meal #3: 12pm Arugula, chick peas, 1/4 avacado, chicken breast, in an Ezekiel wrap drizzeled with balsamic and olive oil
Meal #4: 3pm Muscle Milk Light (I don't use these often, but when I am busy or have a meeting, they are great caloric composition for a high-protein snack and super fast)
Meal #5: 6pm Roasted Red Pepper Quinoa, chicken breast with roasted red pepper sauce, asparagus, arugula salad with a very light drizzle of balsamic and olive oil.
This was my dinner. And it was delicious!
The quinoa, roasted red peppers, and pepper sauce was made on Sunday. Everything else was easy. The chicken I buy canned from Costco. It is all natural and packed in water and a great option for high protein on the go. Very tasty too, I might add.
To make the quinoa, I just followed the instructions on the package. I roasted 4 red peppers and I used one in the quinoa along with some garlic and a drizzle of EVOO. To make the roasted red pepper sauce, I first purchased one of these:

This blender was very pricey and I am not suggesting you need one of these. However, it is pretty fricken awesome. Stay tuned in coming days for a recipe made in this guy for Spianch Ice Cream. Sounds gross, right? Wrong. It is delicious! My 11 and 1 year old LOVE it.
Anyway...I threw a few whole roasted, seeded red peppers in this baby, a couple tbs of 0% fage, and you have a tangy and creamy red pepper sauce. I made a ton of this and served it over wheat pasta on Sunday night. The family LOVED it.
So, while I wish I was at home, eating a healthy dinner with the family, I can at least still be eating a healthy dinner.
