(Recipe of the Week) This Easy Shrimp Ceviche is a delicious, fresh and healthy appetizer.

Easy Shrimp Ceviche

(via: https://bit.ly/4ec4MHw)

Ingredients
▢1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, either frozen or cooked.
▢½ red onion, diced
▢1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
▢1 cucumber, diced
▢4 limes, juiced
▢1 lemon, juiced
▢1 orange, juiced
▢½ avocado, peeled, pit removed, diced
▢1 tomato, seeded and diced
▢¼ cup chopped cilantro
▢salt, to taste

Instructions
Thaw your shrimp (if using frozen) under cold running water. Remove the tails. If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a colander and run some cold water over them and toss to cool. If you are using pre-cooked shrimp, there is no need to cook them any further after thawing.

Chop up the shrimp into ½ inch pieces. Add it to a bowl along with the diced red onion, jalapeno, cucumber, and citrus juices. Stir well, then cover and place into the refrigerator for 1 hour (minimum - you can leave it there longer if needed). 30 minutes before you are ready to serve the ceviche, add in the avocado, tomato, cilantro, and salt to taste. Toss to combine and place it back into the fridge for 30 minutes (minimum).

The flavors will meld the longer it sits. I would recommend eating this ceviche within 1-2 days for freshest flavor and best results. Enjoy with some paleo chips, tostadas, tostones, or homemade plantain chips!

(NEW EPISODE) https://bit.ly/4tw8z7r Did you know that the average adult over 40 is losing up to 10% of their muscle mass every decade? This accelerates in our 60's, and, if left unaddressed, brings about a host of concerns such as:

- weakened bones
- increased systemic inflammation
- increased joint pain and aches
- higher risk of chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease
- a fat gain of 10-15 lbs per decade on average.

This process has a name: Sarcopenia.

These unwanted "side-effects" of aging, though, can be stopped and even reversed.

The secret to combating it and what we can call the elusive "foutnain of youth"?

"I have been a client at The Exercise Coach for over 4 years, and it has truly changed the way I think about strength, fitness, and aging well. As someone with a busy professional schedule, I appreciate how efficient the workouts are—short, focused, and incredible effective.

What has made the biggest difference for me is how thoughtful the coaches are tailor every workout with my chronic neck and back issues in mind (stemming from a car accident years ago). Their knowledge, attention to form, and constant monitoring have allowed me to safely build strength and confidence without aggravating old injuries. I feel supported every step of the way.

I am stronger today than I was years ago and I notice in my every day life – better posture, improved balance, and more overall energy. The technology-driven approach, combined with personal coaching and accountability, delivers real, measurable results in a safe and encouraging environment.

After four years, this isn’t just a workout – it’s a long-term commitment to my health that has truly paid off. I highly recommend The Exercise Coach to anyone looking for smart, effective, and sustainable fitness—especially if you are working around past injuries!"

(Recipe of the Week) These easy air fryer chicken tacos are bold, tender, and ready in under 30 minutes—topped with a fresh mango avocado salsa that takes them over the top.

Easy Chicken Tacos with Mango Avocado Salsa

(via: https://bit.ly/4vwZrAQ)

Ingredients

For the Chicken Tacos
▢1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
▢1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
▢2 tablespoons paleo mayonnaise
▢1½ tablespoons chili powder
▢1 teaspoon ground cumin
▢½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢½ teaspoon dried oregano
▢¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper (optional)
▢8 grain free tortillas corn tortillas or butter lettuce leaves

For the Mango Avocado Salsa
▢1 cup diced ripe mango Use yellow skin mangos like Ataulfo, Honey, Champagne, and Manila.
▢½ cup diced Hass avocado
▢¼ cup finely diced red onion sweet white onion will also work
▢2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
▢1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
▢⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper (optional)
▢¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt and more to taste
▢1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions
Grab the chicken thighs and sprinkle diamond crystal kosher salt all over the surface.
Then, toss the salted chicken thighs in the mayonnaise until there is a uniform thin coating of mayonnaise on the chicken. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning blend on the top of the chicken until it is uniformly coated. Toss well and make sure the seasoning gets in all the nooks and crannies.
Heat an air fryer to 400°F and when it’s hot, arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the basket.
Air fry for about 10 to 13 minutes or until the top is browned and the thickest part of the chicken thigh is 175°F (it’s safe to eat at 165°F, but will taste best at 175° to 195°F).
While the chicken is cooking, make the mango avocado salsa. In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, extra virgin olive oil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable. If you're keeping things grain-free, butter lettuce leaves work great as wraps.
Dice up the cooked chicken, pile it into warm tortillas or lettuce wraps, and top with a spoonful of mango avocado salsa. Add extra lime or hot sauce if you like. Enjoy immediately!

Note: Use grain-free tortillas such or lettuce leaves as recipe calls for to make this dish approved for the 30-Day Metabolic Comeback Challenge. Find all recipes of the week on our Pinterest boards: https://bit.ly/3VhrcuT
