A Recipe for Success
I went to a training seminar recently and the speaker was talking about getting the best results, if your goal is fat loss. He gave us his version of what to do, in order of importance:
Proper nutrition See No. 1 Strength training Interval training Steady state cardioI agree with him. Also, as you can see, what you are eating will make an enormous difference in getting the results you want.
Last week I gave some suggestions for getting started with proper nutrition. I promised this week I would give you some of my favorite healthy recipes. The first is for homemade granola. I love this recipe because there is so much you can do with granola. It can be breakfast, a snack, lunch or a post-workout meal. This recipe is for the granola “base.” You decide what you want to add to it, if anything. Get creative!
Granola
Mix:
4 cups slow-cooking oats ½ cup ground flax seedOn the stove, combine the following ingredients and heat on medium until smooth:
2/3 cup natural peanut butter ½-2/3 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon Dash of ground clovesMix this with your dry ingredients. Spread evenly in a 9-by-13 or larger baking dish. Put in a 300-degree oven for 30 minutes. MAKE SURE YOU STIR EVERY 10 MINUTES so that the granola cooks evenly. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. I usually wait about 30-45 minutes before putting it in an airtight container. You can add nuts, raisins, cranberries, coconut, dried fruit or anything else you like.
This next recipe is incredibly simple. I have served it for lunch or dinner and it is a favorite with my husband, who is usually not a huge fan of salads!
Spinach Salad with Raspberry Chipotle Chicken
Place two chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour half of a 15-ounce bottle of raspberry chipotle sauce on top and bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. After removing chicken from the oven, slice and put it over a bed of spinach. Top with a few slices of avocado and sprinkle with slivered almonds. The extra sauce in the baking dish makes a great dressing.
Finally, this last recipe makes a great salad that can be a side dish or a main course. Don’t be scared of the number of ingredients, it’s really quite simple.
