More recipes!!

I love to eat carbs but since carbs are not a part of my diet right now I have to find a compromise. I also know many of my viewers are trying to lose weight, get fit, be healthy and all so I am loving putting up all my recipes for everyone and I think my recipes are super easy ! I try to keep all my meals super quick and easy since I'm constantly on the go. (the life of a science major) I also make sure to meal prep as much as I can for the whole week so I can grab and go but unfortunately the recipes below are not really made to prep and eat the next day due to the consistency of the noodles. YES I said noodles.
I love to eat pasta and I have found a pretty awesome solution to this! It's called spinach noodles! They are actually shirataki noodles made with spinach flavor but they are so yummy!!! I bought mine at Sprouts Farmers Market, they come in a bag full of some watery substance and trust me they look gross and creepy.



The bag says to drain and boil for one minute which I do. Once the noodles are all drained I put some tomatoe and basil Walden Farms sauce mixed in or their ever so delicious garlic and herb sauce! The texture of the noodles is a little weird but let me tell you when you can't have carbs and you want pasta THIS is the way to go!
Another way I like to make them is to sautée them until are a little crunchy and add the Walden Farms Asian dressing to them along with some broccoli or brusselsprouts.its oh so delicious! 

Sweet and Skinny

Working 12 hour night shifts can be exhausting and sometimes even get boring when the time goes by slow and the patients aren't rolling in back to back. We all get extremely hungry on the night shift and constantly eat out, but since I'm dieting and trying to be healthier I find myself either giving in to the madness and eating that one donut or sitting in misery while everyone enjoys their sweets and yummy food. I recently found a new snack that tastes AMAZING and has very few carbs and sugar in it. This snack totally gets rid of the sweet cravings and makes you feel full while watching all your co-workers drink their yummy sugary delicious Dutch Bro's Coffee. The snack??? Well it's just Peanut Butter with some Truvia brown sugar sprinkled on top! It tastes delicious and you feel like you are really eating something with real brown sugar. The best part is the brown sugar, because Truvia makes it with 75% less calories than regular brown sugar and of course it's made with Stevia in the raw so it doesn't have sugar in it! This is such a simple and fast little snack and it fits in any small plastic container to take with you wherever you want.
