Our Favorite Healthy On-The-Go Recipes

Food is the fuel that gives you the essential energy to take on your day and your workouts! Some of our favorite snack recommendations are natural almonds, hard boiled eggs, fruit (apples and almond butter is a fave), cottage cheese (jazzed up with some healthy goodies, berries, etc.) and clean, all natural bars (e.g., Lara Bars, health food stores have some delicious varieties).
Bottom line: Try to keep foods natural, wholesome and full of nutrition that will fuel your body to the next meal.

ANNA'S STUFFED BELL PEPPERS 

4 red bell peppers cut in half and de-seeded

– 1 lb extra lean ground turkey

– 1 cup of cooked brown rice

– 1 shredded zucchini

– Grated broccoli

– Minced garlic

– Diced mushrooms

– 1 can of tomato sauce

– Optional: Cheese (feta or sharp cheddar cheese)

Cook the turkey and season it with whatever you like (I use salt-free seasonings), adding in the minced garlic. Once turkey meat is cooked add veggies and cook a little longer on medium heat. After the turkey cooks for a couple minutes, add a can of tomato sauce and cooked brown rice (I cook mine in the rice cooker), then mix all together. Add a heaping spoon full of mixture into bell peppers and top with cheese or your liking. Cook at 400 degrees for 20 mins or until the cheese is melted and browned. Enjoy!
