Quick Easy Recipes - At Home Edition

We all have those days where you just don't have time to make a healthy looking lunch. We get up and we are just on the go, go, and go! As a result, we buy processed (yet delicious) foods that are in close proximity. Not only is that counteracting all the hardwork you have done to workout, it is also very expensive. For that reason, I created this list of ideas for SIMPLE, QUICK, AND DELICIOUS RECIPES.

These are good when you have a few minutes at home. It'll provide you with energy, nutrients, and a satisfied tummy.

Parfait

This is really simple! It is a really great way to incorporate calcium and fruits into your diet. It also a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth. Grab your favourite yogurt, some granola, and fruit.

Take those great ingredients and LAYER THEM. 

FIRST LAYER: Yogurt 

I generally use Activia's vanilla yogurt.

SECOND LAYER: Granola 

I really like Quaker's Simply Granola Cereal. I've also just used Honey Nut Cheerios, which is really tasty as well. 

THIRD LAYER: Fruit

I personally prefer berries in my parfait. Sometimes berries are not in season and are VERY expensive, so I buy frozen berries and defrost them under some warm water.

Feel free to layer as much as you would like. Three fits my needs just fine. It also such a pretty snack to eat! So colourful!

Stick a spoon in there and get crunching!

Spinach & Eggs

I personally do not care for the taste of spinach. Many say it does not taste like anything and I like to call those people liars. Anyway, eggs are a great way to mask the taste of spinach while still getting the great benefits of spinach. This is a good source of protein and iron!

I use Incredible!'s omelet recipe because it is simple and perfect! Click here to access that.
