Posted in Austin Texas Neighborhoods, Healthy Living, Leander Texas Neighborhoods, Recipes, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 13, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Eggs

Each egg has 6 grams of protein but just 72 calories. No wonder researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, found that eating eggs for breakfast (as part of a low-cal diet) helps you slim down. Try this classic Egg Sandwich to fulfill all your breakfast needs.

What came first: the chicken or the egg? Well it doesn’t matter because the important thing is chickens lay eggs and this delicate food is packed full of protein you need before and after working out! They are also low in carbs and calories and are perfect if you’re trying to shed some extra pounds. With 6 grams of protein in each egg, feel free to eat as many of these as you want. They are also delicious in a number of ways: fried, scrambled, over easy, and my personal favorite: hard boiled. Stock up on this superfood today and watch your body transform right before your eyes.

Not all snacking was created equally. A bag of chips after a workout probably isn’t a good idea say like snacking on peanut butter and apples after a workout. Protein and carbohydrates are essential after a workout to replenish your body and build those muscles. Here are some high powered protein snacks to enjoy after a workout or just in general. The great thing about these snacks is that they will also keep you full and satisfied until your next meal.

Tuna Salad on Crackers

Tuna Salad on Crackers

Fruit Dip and Apples

High Protein Fruit Dip with Sliced Apples

Hard Boiled Eggs and Avocado

Hard-boiled Egg and Avocado Bowl

Hummus Dip and Vegetables

Black Bean Hummus Dip and Sliced Vegetables

Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

Before you go for that bag of chips, try one of these snacks instead. I guarantee it’ll keep you feeling full and feeling great!

Superfood Wednesday: Oats!

Posted in Austin Texas Neighborhoods, Healthy Living, Kyle Texas Neighborhoods, Leander Texas Neighborhoods, Recipes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on March 23, 2016| Leave a Comment »

First off, what exactly is a superfood? While this isn’t a real term in general superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don’t.

You should try to incorporate these foods into your daily diet everyday. Today I’m going to talk about one of my personal favorite breakfast staples: Oats!

Why they’re super: Full of fiber, oats are a rich source of magnesium, potassium, and phytonutrients. They contain a special type of fiber that helps to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease. Magnesium works to regulate blood-sugar levels, and research suggests that eating whole-grain oats may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Oats can be utilized in many different ways and are good at any meal. So the next time you’re at the store, consider picking up this wonderful ingredient!
