Zesty Shrimp Fajita

Zesty Shrimp Fajita

I was feeling in the mood for Mexican food and for shrimp. However, I wanted to make a health conscious choice that would be guilt free. I used some simple swaps for healthier ingredients in this fajita. Instead of traditional fajita tortillas, I used Flatout light original wrap, which is very high in fiber, good source of protein and only 7 net grams of carbs and 90 calories. Instead of sour cream, I dolloped plain non-fat greek yogurt on, and you can't taste the difference. Give this a try, I'm sure you'll love it. 




Ingredients:

Shrimp
seasoning mix (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
1 flatout flatbread
1/4 cup mixed peppers
2 tbsp avocado
dallop of nonfat plain greek yogurt 
squeeze of lime juice to taste
jalapeno pepper hot sauce (or your favorite) to taste

Enjoy!

Till next time. 
Health. Beauty. You.

Yogurt Heaven

This greek yogurt breakfast is nutritious and delicious. It's chocked full of protein and has some healthy fats from the pecans. I like to get the plain greek yogurt and put your own vanilla and sweetener because the flavored yogurts have sugar levels off the chart. I enjoyed this with a fantastic cup of peppermint tea. You can sweeten it with honey or stevia if you'd like. Hydration is important, as many times humans mistake thirst for hunger. This breakfast will give you adequate hydration, protein, healthy fat, probiotics, and antioxidants. Why not kick start your day right? Ingredients below:

                                      




Ingredients:
3/4 cup 0% nonfat plain organic greek yogurt
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
stevia to taste (I used 2/3 packet)
1 tbsp Raw pecans
1-2 tbsp blueberries

Till next time,

Health. Beauty. You.
