Food Ideas!

I thought I would contribute to the blog by sharing some awesome food ideas that I have been using:
1) Spaghetti Squash-
These are great! They come in all different sizes and are oval shaped and yellow. I just cut them in quarters and roast them in a pyrex with water for about 50 minutes. Then, flake out the insides once they have cooled down. It looks just like spaghetti! With some healthy sauce (whatever you like with some protein and veggies) and a sprinkle of parmasean cheese it really tastes great. 1 cup of squash is less than 50 calories.
2) Kale-
It is a really intimidating looking vegetable. However, you clean and cut it just like lettuce. I have been adding it to stir frys or even just sauteing it with some olive oil and garlic. It gets really small, but it has tons of vitamins and fibre so really fills you up. 1 cup is less than 50 calories.
3) Smoothies-
I love smoothies. Especially for a good post-workout snack between meals.
1 small banana
1 cup frozen fruit (whatever you like)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 cup soy milk (or whatever milk you like)
Blend all together.

Hope this gives people some ideas. Both the squash and kale are in season right now so you can find them at the farmer's market. Would love to hear from others about their food discoveries!
