Lean Protein Recipes

It’s a new year and a new you. It’s all possible. I am very optimistic that you will be able to lose that weight this year. It’s going to take some changes on your part but it can be done. If you keep in some small changes and stick to some yummy lean protein recipes you’ll be on your way. How do I know? I’m working on it myself and I want you to get some success. I’ve been slugging it out for years and I don’t want you to go through all the failure and frustration I’ve been through. So let me help you.

First of all, change the way you eat. Eating 5-6 smaller meals a day has been found to increase metabolism and give you energy all day long. Change to lean meats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. You’ll feel great and you’ll start to lose all that weight.

Here are some recipes for the new year.:

Chicken, Walnut and Mango Salad
Cook chicken and toss with salad greens, mango slices, walnuts. Squeeze lime (lemon or orange) juice on top and season with pepper to taste.

Salsa Wrap
Mix fresh salsa (make sure it is not high in sugar or fat-the best choice is home made!) with your choice of lean meat (tuna, chicken, lean beef, turkey, pork) and wrap up in a whole wheat wrap, or even better, make it a lettuce wrap! You can use regular tomato salsa or switch it up and use a mango or other fruit salsa.

Coleslaw With Dried Cranberries And Apples
Chop red and green cabbage, then mix with balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, low fat plain yogurt and pepper to taste.

Stir in dried cranberries and sliced apple.

Veggie Patty with Mushroom
Use a low fat veggie patty (like Amy’s or California Brand) or make your own. Cook burger patty and a full portobello mushroom, then stack and serve.

Spicy Peanuts
For a on the go snack, sprinkle cayenne pepper on top of one ounce of dry-roasted peanuts and enjoy

Grilled Chicken and Spinach Salad
Grilled Chicken and spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, feta, and olive oil or a vinaigrette.

Chicken Stuffed Pepper
Cook chicken, then let cool. Cut top of bell pepper off and stuff with chicken and low fat cottage cheese, then top with salsa and serve.

Tuna Salad
Mix tuna with low fat Italian salad dressing, mix in chopped celery and chives and enjoy.

Pesto Pea Soup
Simmer chopped onion, sliced carrot, sliced celery, and 1 3/4 cups of low sodium chicken broth and 2 cups of water in a covered pot for 6 minutes, then add a 10oz bag of frozen peas and cook for 3 minutes. Stir of 1 tbsp of pesto and puree soup in blender until smooth. Season with lemon juice, and serve

Fish of Pork with Fresh Salsa
Choose your favorite fish/pork or chicken , cook (bake or steam) and then top with fresh tomato, mango, strawberry etc salsa. Place meat with salsa on a bed of spinach or other salad greens and serve.
