Budget protein sundried tomato pesto pasta.

Blend cottage cheese & pesto until smooth
Cook pasta

Hello all!! It's soup season !

After black friday and Christmas shopping we could all use a nutritious, easy and *CHEAP* meal idea to warm us up...

This is honestly one of my new favorites .. and I kinda stole it from another instagramer... but put my own *canadian* twist on it.

please try this and let me know how it goes for you... its officially on my top 3 comfort foods...

Recipe 👇
✅️3 medium yellow onions
✅️margarine- about 2/3 of a cup (yeah)
✅️2-3 carrots depending on size- shredded
✅️miso paste (about 2-3 tbsp)
✅️pho (I used pc brand) broth
✅️white beans (1 can)

1. Cut onions in half and then slice. Add butter to pot, heat on medium. Saute the onions like you would to start a French onion soup.
2. Once onions have sautéed, add shredded carrots. Let simmer for 5-10 mins. Add more margarine if needed.
3. Add miso paste & about 3/4 to full carton of pho broth, along with rinsed and drained white kidney beans.
4.let simmer for 30 mins, serve with bread of choice (no need to butter the bread, enjoy the rich flavor of this comforting soup).

Optional : add cornstarch to make this thicker, more stew-like... I ended up enjoying it more as a soup, but the option is there !!

Bon Appétit!!

Hello all !! This recipe... is NOT budget friendly... however..... it is a super delicious and nutritious way to have meal prep breakfast, with high protein and fiber, that'll keep you going until lunch.

I usually wake up 430am, head to the gym/dog park, get back home, shower, and have just enough time to eat something quick and head to work. This is the breakfast I have been obsessed with for the better part of a month now, and I think it's perfected enough to share 😊

Cookie dough protein overnight oats 🍪

Recipe 👇
✅️ 1 cup quick oats (or rolled)
✅️ 1 cup milk of choice*
✅️ 1/4-1/3 cup peanut flour of choice**
✅️ 1/4 cup 0% plain greek yogurt
✅️ 1.5 tbsp chia seeds ***
✅️ 2-4 tbsps of pb ****

Optional :
✅️ 1 tbsp vanilla extract
✅️ 2 tbsp mappe syrup

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl
2. When adding the PB, try get clump in into smaller clumps and disperse between 3 containers equally.

This is the perfect protein packed breakfast for those on the go, or who just want something different from eggs and toast/cereal/hot oatmeal.

This is an overnight oat recipe... make the night before, and enjoy when you have time ! :)

*(I used fairlife for exta protein)

** I used nuts'n'more salted caramel for the flavor

*** I use milled because I like the texture better... this particular one has probiotics in it, which is great when you're tired of Activia.

**** I use nuts'n'more protein PB, for extra protein, and less sugar. They use xylitol as the sweetener ... if you end up getting this/using it.. DO NOT GIVE TO PETS- it's is as poisonous to them as giving them garlic/grapes/onions etc.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener (sugar alcohol) commonly found in gums, toothpastes and naturally in fruits, veg and plants.

Looking for something fresh, delicious, and cool for lunch this hot summer ? Look no further ! 🌡💧

This is a Mediterranean Farro Salad.

Farro is a grain (contains gluten), jam-packed full of nutrition to keep you feeling your best this summer. 💪☀️⛱️

Per 1 cup cooked, farro has 8g of protein, 52g of carbs, 7g of fibre. This can be a great addition to brown rices to mix, or even substitute to increase fibre of meals and plant based protein.

Recipe 👇 :

- 1 cup dry farro. Follow cooking instructions on package.

Vegetable mix :
-1x small package cherry tomatoes
-1x cucumber
-1x green onions/scallions
-1x small red pepper
-1x bunch of cilantro or parsley, whichever you like best.

Chop all ingredients to preference, I chose to chop my veg small.

Dressing:
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup oil of choice, I used avocado oil, you can use olive oil or canola.
- garlic (3 cloves minced, and if you don't have any, 1tsp of garlic powder, more if you like more garlic taste)
- salt and pepper to taste.
- at this point you can add crushed feta to make a lemony feta dressing, or add feta cubes into salad after. Whichever you prefer.

Wisk dressing ingredients together.

Once ready to eat/ serve, mix veg mix, farro and dressing together. Enjoy !

To store, store farro, veg mix and dressing separately until ready to serve.
