Menu Monday - High Protein Chocolate PB Snack Bars

Since I'm currently in week 2 of the 21 Day Fix, I figured that this week's Menu Monday should be something that you can eat on the FIX.

Ingredients:

• 4 scoops Chocolate Shakeology
• 2 cups quick oats
• 1/3 cup chopped raw peanuts
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter

Method:

• Combine ShakeO, oats, peanuts & raisins in a large mixing bowl & mix well.
• Add in almond milk & PB; mix well.
• Press mixture into 8x8 baking pan; cover & regrigerate for at least 3 hours
• Cut into 24 bars

One of these bars is equal to 1 "Yellow" on the program. Enjoy!!!

Menu Monday - Zucchini & Potato Bake

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchini, quartered and cut into large pieces
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped (if you're not a pepper fan, you can omit this and/or substitute another vegetable)
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• paprika to taste
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste

Method:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
• In a medium baking pan, toss together the zucchini, potatoes, red bell pepper, garlic, bread crumbs, and olive oil. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly brown.

ENJOY!!!

Menu Monday - Spicy Shrimp, Broccoli & Quinoa

Now, if you know me, you know that I am pretty much a disaster in the kitchen, but there are a few staples that I love to make & that are super easy (because I just can't do complicated).

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup dry quinoa
• 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli
• 1 serving of fresh or frozen shrimp (you can also substitute by using chicken, steak, tempeh, tofu, etc.
• Old Bay Seasoning (optional)

METHOD:

• Prepare quinoa as directed on box. If you're making this spicy and using Old Bay, you'll want to add the seasoning directly to the water and stir well as your quinoa is cooking. 
• Steam broccoli
• In a pan, cook your shrimp (or other meat) and sprinkle a little Old Bay on top of that too for an extra kick.

Once everything is done, mix together in a bowl & you have a super easy & healthy lunch!
