Tip for making quick, tasty lunches? Have a few ingredients handy like miso paste & soup in cartons, walnuts, all have good shelf life. Scallions is a must, they garnish, add a punch to everything plus give chicken breast & yellow miso soup some color! Don’t be afraid to use leftover cooked vegetables to salad. I had spicy brown bean eggplant, broccoli & roast sweet potatoes which I added to spring mix, tomatoes, walnuts & scallions. I’m in love with a ‘vase whisk’ I bought recently which is perfect for my home made salad dressing. I’ll tell you more about this in another post. Drinking soup from my black & red lacquered bowl with lid makes it taste so much better!

Breakfast Fuels Energy
If you cook enough steel cut oats for the week, breakfast is so QUICK! Don’t get Quick Oats, it has no texture & taste like baby food! If you’re going to provide fuel for your body, give it GOOD FUEL. Common analogy is you can’t run a car without fuel!
Here are a few easy-to-make Breakfast ideas to start your day full of energy & get your creative juices flowing…
Steel cut oats, 1 scoop of Jarrow whey protein powder (23g) mixed in with Almond Breeze unsweetened milk, dollop of Cabot Greek lowfat yoghurt and topped with fresh fruit of your choice. My fav combo is strawberries & bananas. Then a hit of granola & walnuts. For a treat today, I had incredibly good pecans with sweet cranberries, black pepper & orange zest! Find treats to add but NOT Sugar laden cause you’ll spike & then crash!
