Recipe of the Week

I want to let everyone know I added a “Resources” where you can see all the books and educational material I read to keep up on things in the fitness industry. Unfortunately I have probably forgot a lot of what I have read, but still continue to learn as much as I can. True learning can only take place when you use the information constantly and there is inherent value in it. I plan to add links and small descriptions of each, as each source contains valuable information.

As far as today’s post goes, I wanted to share a recipe I came up with the other day. Now I don’t want to take all the credit, but I have never seen anything like it before. Takes about 5-10 min prep and is very easy to make, affordable, quick, nutritious, and filling, not to mention delicious!

Stuffed Peppers with Tuna Salad

• 2 Red/Yellow Pepper
• 1 Can Tuna
• 2 Cup Spinach
• 1/2 Can Chick Peas
• 1/4 Cup Quinoa
• 1/4 Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1 Tbsp Balsamic Dressing

Directions:

Cut top of pepper and clean out the insides. Boil water for the quinoa, while you add  all the ingredients for the salad together. Make sure to mash up tuna, so it is not in chunks. Mix salad together and add quinoa when done. Take salad mixture and stuff the pepper with it.

You can use this for on the go nutrition because its fast and nutritious. Solves most problems for the lunch time and snack option that people have a hard time with. The creativity you can have with this dish is extensive; Add shredded carrots, beets, etc to be more nutritious, or use salmon, chicken, etc for more protein. Walnuts, pine nuts and shredded almonds work great as well to add healthy fats. Share and Enjoy!
