Day 5- Mediterranean Bell Peppers - Blog

 

Mediterranean Mini Bell Peppers
2 Mini Bell Peppers
4 Tbsp Hummus
4 Tsp Tabouli

Cut bell peppers in half long ways.  Spoon 1 Tbsp Hummus in each half, then top with 1 Tsp of Tabouli.  We made these for our dear friends and they turned out to be a hit, which means these make a great personal snack or a party appetizer – just multiply the amounts to fit the guest lists!  Enjoy!

30 Days of Snacks: Day 4 Frozen Chocolate Banana

Day 4 - Chocolate Banana - Blog

Frozen Chocolate Bananas

1 Medium Banana 
1/3 Dark Chocolate bar of choice {33 g}

Cut banana in quarters, put a toothpick or skewer stick in them, put in a ziploc baggie and freeze overnight.  Melt dark chocolate with a splash of coconut oil or olive oil and microwave until melted {or melt on a double boiler}.  dip frozen bananas in the chocolate. We used a dark chocolate with cranberries and oranges so there was an crunchier texture – use whatever DARK chocolate you like so you get the health benefits of dark chocolate {not Milk Chocolate}.

This was a really fun family affair and I encourage you all to get the kids involved.  They will be much more inclined to try something they helped make and they have a lot of fun doing it!  Now you tell me this kiddo isn’t super excited about our creation!  Even my dear friend, Molly, who isn’t a dark chocolate fan, enjoyed it!  This is one you’ll want to share since it’s a higher calorie snack.

Zucchini Pizza Bites
1 Zucchini
1/4 C Pizza Sauce

Top each boat with 1 piece of Deli Turkey {we used peppercorn turkey}.  Finish it off with a splash of crushed pepper to taste.  This was yummy and even my son got into it AND loved it!  You can keep the skin on if you like it or remove it – we ended up removing part of the skin.

What’s for dinner? Rosemary-Balsamic Chicken

January 8, 2013 by Chandra Filed Under: Eat Clean, Recipes, Uncategorized Leave a Comment

Today’s “What’s for Dinner?” is Rosemary-Balsamic Chicken, Cherry-Spinach-Arugula Salad & Sweet Potato Chips.

We used the left over Rosemary-Balsamic Marinade from the peaches earlier this week and marinaded the chicken all day.  We threw another Spinach-Arugula salad together with 1 1/2 cups of salad mix, 1/2 a tomato, 1/4 cucumber and 1/4 cup of dried cherries, then seasoned with a splash of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon.

I attempted to make some sweet potato chips, but they need some work.  I’ll have to try these again and post a recipe when I get it perfected! 🙂

Enjoy!

TESTIMONIALS

What an absolutely fun and educational class!  My daughter loved getting to control her veggie selections but also have the opportunity to try things she hadn’t before.  This class is an amazing perspective for kids to learn how to make healthy food choices.  She loved it so much that she made it at home and was so proud to pick the ingredients.  Thank you Chandra for making food fun!  My daughter can’t wait for the next class!

My 5 year old son loved the Healthy Hands cooking class and has told all of our family about how he got to cook “purple carrots.” He’s also telling them about all of the other veggies he tried and was so proud of his cooking skills he’s offered to cook for his grandparents the next time they are in town!  I loved that he was willing to try several new vegetables and would definitely recommend Chef Chandra to any mom who wants her family to start eating healthy!

Vitalizer, vita-strip is my go-to for daily health. I’m a busy, working mom and it’s so nice to know my supplements will come right to my doorstep. Some days are so hectic that I don’t have time to cook a healthy meal or exercise, but I know I’ve done something great for my body by taking Vitalizer. I even took it as a prenatal vitamin (along with some extra B complex) knowing it was safe and healthy for my baby and myself.
Molly - Austin, TX
I have been eating pretty healthy for a while now, but typically get derailed by the end of the week due to being overwhelmed and under prepared.  I was lucky enough to be chosen to test pilot the Unjunk Your Diet program for the last 3 weeks and I love it!  I found that it was easy to follow, the meal organization tips helped me stay on track ALL week, the recipes are really delicious and simple to make, and as a side benefit I’ve lost 4 lbs!!!  I thought I felt good before, but my energy is through the roof these day….woohoo!!!
