Healthy Meals Ready in Under 30 minutes

Eating healthy and eating fast doesn’t always go together. But with a bit of foresight and some simple kitchen prep, it’s easy to whip up a delicious and nutritious meal. I usually come out of my dancing class around 10pm, too late to have dinner but still nice to have a Strawberry Yogurt Parfait or an Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, delicious and ready in 5 - 10 minutes.



 BREAKFASTBreakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day, fueling our bodies for work, play and productivity. Be careful about skipping breakfast - as this can put a damper on your day and lead to unhealthy weight gain.

1. Poached Eggs with roasted Tomatoes.
Why: Eggs are chock full of protein, which our bodies need to build new cells and maintain tissues.  
Meal is ready in: 25 minutes
Improvise: Don’t be constrained to adding roasted tomatoes - sauté some spinach and garlic to give your poached eggs a kick.







2. Strawberry Yogurt Parfait
Why: Yogurt contains probiotics – a good bacteria that can help with digestion  in addition to calcium which strengthens bones.
Meal is ready in: 10 minutes
Improvise: There are tons of variations on the yogurt parfait, and the tasty concoction can contain whatever you like. Make sure to keep it on the healthy side with fat-free yogurt, low-in-sugar toppings and healthy grains or nuts. Be sure to try the blueberry quinoa parfait or a mango avocado breakfast.

 

 

3. Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Why: This heart-healthy classic is known to lower cholesterol and even boost your immune system.
Meal is ready in: 5-15 minutes
Improvise: Oatmeal can be prepared in a stove top. To maximize the health benefits, cook oats in water instead of milk.

Combine the water, apple juice, and apples in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and stir in the rolled oats and cinnamon. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, about 3 minutes. Spoon into serving bowls, and pour milk over the servings.


 


Bon Appétit!

  8. Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?

    I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm
    a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for
    a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
    I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Cheers!
