Marisa asked me to add this to my blog even though I don't have any pictures. Last night, I needed to get about 3 reds, 3 greens, a yellow, a blue, orange and a few tsps. So I had to come up with some very creative dinner.
Here's what I did. I researched some recipes about Greek yogurt cream sauces, then made my own (basically because I didn't have the ingredients, but I might try others later, they look delicious.) Look up Tomato Creamy Sauce with Greek Yogurt. YUM.
I put 6 oz of Greek yogurt in a bowl and added 3 shakes of basil, parsley, oregano, and garlic with 5 squirts of lime juice. I sauteed mushrooms, sweet peppers, and mushrooms up in EVOO while my orzo pasta was cooking. The diet says to do whole wheat, however I don't have any in my house at the minute, so I just used regular orzo pasta.
I drained the pasta and put it on top of my Greek yogurt mix, then added the veggies and put 1/4 cups of Parmesan cheese and 6 oz of shredded chicken on top of that. I had SO much food. I definitely couldn't finish it all, but I tried. I got to about 5 bites left, and had to stop. I still had to workout and burping Greek yogurt isn't that fun.
I still didn't get in my container goal, which I actually am lowering today. I hopped on the scale this morning and am already down 2 lbs! I am definitely feeling a difference, now if my legs would start working again after Monday's total body cardio fix. I have a lower fix today, it's going to be a struggle but I need to push through!
This nutrition plan is definitely helping with my creative recipes! Being aware of how much and of what you have to eat is a challenge, but definitely worth it! I believe this will become a new lifestyle after the 21 days. :)
