USE THE DINNER SPINNER
............................................................................................................
Drawing a blank on what to make for dinner? Follow this no-fail formula: a
protein (¼ of your plate), a veggie (½ of your plate), and a grain (¼ of your
plate). Then mix and match to build a healthy, quick, delicious meal.
You can use your favourite proteins from the 21-Day Plan, plus an easy-to-
cook carb and a veggie. For example:
Cook up quinoa-crusted salmon with some wholewheat couscous and a
side of stewed cherry tomatoes.
Serve balsamic chicken over a half cauliflower “rice,” half quinoa
mixture.
Ladle spiced lentils over sautéed spinach; serve with a side of roasted
sweet potatoes.
Have the Asian tofu steak with a simple veggie stir-fry and a scoop of
millet.
Or you can configure a restaurant order into its healthiest self:
Order Chinese chicken and broccoli plus extra steamed veggies and
brown rice.
Pair wholewheat spaghetti and meatballs with a big side salad.
Have salmon-and-avocado sushi rolls made with brown rice, then add a
side of edamame.
