Say Yes to Salad

confessions of a sometimes vegetarian

I can’t go back!

Yoga

I just did a brief yoga session this morning – 20 minutes of Power Vinyasa Flow #4 from yogadownload.com.  They should pay me for promoting them so much! (I finally got an affiliate link.)

Lunch Idea

  • Tuna salad with whole wheat bread
  • Sliced green apple

Simple tuna salad recipe (makes 2 servings):

  • 1 can of tuna
  • 1/2 carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 small bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • lemon juice
  • mustard
  • salt & pepper

It was really good.  You can mix up the measurements to make it how you like it.  I like mine with lots of veggies.  Celery would have been perfect but I didn’t have any!

Snack Idea

  • “Lentil Pea Chips” (link has nutritional info) that we got at 99 Ranch (Chinese grocery store).  Bobby picked them up on our last trip and they ended up being a good find!  The brand is called “Dandy’s Brand” if you’re interested. The whole bag has just 2.75 servings total – it’s a huge bag but the chips are very light.

Dinner Idea

  • Egg white stirfry with organic ketchup: broccoli, okra, egg whites (1 cup), cabbage, salsa, onion, and a cucumber (random).  I used a bit of sesame oil too.

Dessert Idea

  • Full-fat TJ’s Greek yogurt (a little less than a cup)
  • Raisins (almost 1/2 cup?)
