1. Chicken and pasta salad
- Chicken and pasta salad
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup of pasta (you can use any kind of pasta you like)
- 1/2 cucumber, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Salad dressing of your choice (or make your own!)
Lemon juice for seasoning
2. Salmon and avocado bowl
This one is a classic. Salmon and avocado are both great sources of protein and healthy fats, making this meal an excellent choice after a workout. Add some greens for extra nutrients, or throw in some tomatoes or cucumber for a simple twist on the original recipe. ( 1 of 4 Hearty Meals).
3. Tuna fish sandwich
A tuna fish sandwich is a great option for after the gym. Tuna fish is an excellent source of protein and Omega 3 fatty acids, which will help you feel full longer.
To make this sandwich, you’ll need:
- Bread (whole wheat or sourdough)
- A can of tuna fish (packed in water)
- Mayonnaise
4. Caramelized onion and bacon omelet
- Caramelize the onions. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil to it. Peel and slice two large yellow onions into thin strips, then add them to the pan and cook them until they’re golden brown (this should take about 20 minutes).
- Cook your bacon. Place six slices of bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes until crispy–it’s okay if they are still soft when you pull them out of the oven!
- Make your omelet batter by whisking together 4 eggs with salt and pepper; set aside for now. Once your onion mixture has caramelized, add it back into another large skillet over medium heat with another tablespoon of each butter or olive oil added as well as another pinch of salt and pepper. This will help keep things from sticking while cooking later on down below during assembly time! Then add in some chopped shallots if desired before pouring in enough egg mixture so that there’s plenty left over after folding one side over onto itself without spilling out onto either side; once done cooking thoroughly flip over onto itself again so there won’t be any raw egg left behind after finishing up preparations below…
- I don’t eat bacon so I use turkey sausage
