I bought this book by Terry Walters called Clean Food.  It has some of the healthiest recipes and detailed information about what foods are in season.  Some of them take more time than what I have in the kitchen but the charts and suggestions for each season help with variety through out the year.

I also found this chart while on Pinterest called “Eat in Season” from a UK website: http://eatseasonably.co.uk/ We are spoiled living in the Twin Cities with varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables year round. I was reminded over Christmas a few weeks back in my home town of a busting 3500 people how grocery shopping can be more limited.  Terry’s Clean Food cook Book and chart should help the small town and big town grocery shopping by narrowing down what in season so you have some of the best possible fruits and vegetables for that time of year.

Veggie trays don’t have to be boring, these look just as a good as a bowl of M & M’s!  Ok, so maybe that’s stretching it a bit but none the less, dig in and feel good about it.

Muscle Gain Protein Bar Recipe

No Baking, 3 simple ingredients for a quick healthy snack.

Oats – 2 cups

AdvoCare Chocolate Muscle Gain – 2 cups

Almond Butter – 2 jars (1 reg & 1 Chocolate)

In mixer (power mixer recommended unless you want a serious forearm burnout) mix together Muscle Gain & Oats.

Slowly add in almond butter.

Spread into pan

Cut and Freeze.

We keep ours stored in the freezer, they soften (and become sticky) quickly.

Brad insists they taste like brownies, that might be why this tray disappeared quickly… but if your not a chocolate fan you can also make these with the Vanilla Muscle Gain and use 2 jars of regular Almond Butter, just as yummy.

Healthy Eating Recipe for Fat Loss #4

Broccolini, Portabella Mushrooms, QUALITY Deli Turkey

Broccolini – my new favorite food! + Portabella Mushrooms

Cook the Broccolini and Portabella Mushrooms in a little Olive Oil and Garlic for a few minutes.  Broccolini should still be crunchy when you are done cooking.

Serve with Deli Turkey
(the kind you have to wait 10 minutes in line for to get cut.)

HINT:  Tell them what you want and that you’ll be back for it.  that’s called “Power Grocery Shopping”…I make it look like I’m on that Game Show every time I’m in the grocery store

Crank it!
