Power Lunch!
Mmmm…I wanted to share my favorite power lunch meal:
- 1 cup non-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup favorite berries or raisins
Mix together and spoon-feed it to your favorite loved one.
The cottage cheese is lean and provides a solid 24 grams of protein. Whey to go! *insert sympathy chuckle here* Also, the walnuts are a good source of Omega fatty acids, which are good for your heart, blood, etc. The berries provide the quick blood sugar that is needed to rev you up at this time of the day. The total calories is under 500 kCal, (140 for the cottage cheese, 200 for the walnuts, 20-100 or so for the fruit depending on its density), and it tends to fill me. Plus, with the slow burn of the walnuts and proteins from the cottage cheese, it should hold you over for a while.
Enjoy!
