Answer 2

In the spice isle with all fo the gravy mixes and such there are McCormicks bags that come with a bag and a seasoning mix. Just put like 2 lbs of chicken in the bag with some mixed veggies. Shake it up tie the bag poke a few wholes in it and bake it for about an hour. It is very tasty and has lots of vitamins and protein with very little cholesterol and fat

Answer 3

If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and don't mind having carbs in the form of fruits, try a breakfast smoothie.

I usually try to include the following in every one: fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fruit juice, soy/rice/almond/coconut milk, wheat germ, nutritional yeast, flax seed oil. You could leave out the last four if you prefer. I also use frozen fruits/veggies if I'm out of fresh.

Here is an example of one I made for myself this morning:

Fruit: 1 peach, 1 banana, about 1/3 can pineapple chunks, 6 frozen strawberries

Vegetables: about 10 peeled baby carrots, a handful of rainbow slaw (like coleslaw but with cauliflower, carrots, cabbage and broccoli). Please note, if you add enough fruit and juice, you won't be able to taste the veggies.

Fruit Juice: about 3 tablespoons orange juice, 3 tablespoons "Green Goodness Juice" and 3 tablespoons pomegranate blueberry juice.

Milk: About 1/4 cup soy milk. (I don't consume dairy, You could substitute regular milk, but then you get unnecessary cholesterol added. You can also leave milk out entirely.)

Other: 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons wheat germ, 1 tablespoon flax seed oil

Blend all this stuff up. Then add a generous helping of ice cubes and blend again. Add more ice cubes if it's too thin. This makes enough for 2-4 people, so if you only drink it yourself you'll have enough for more than one day. If you add enough ice cubes you can eat it with a spoon.

No cholesterol, very low fat (especially if you leave the milk and flax oil out), no refined sugars, and totally packed with great nutrients. It's really great for energy if you work out, too. The key is to be creative and make combinations you like.

Good luck!
