Big shout out for Yoghurt- fat free natural stuff or my personal favourite. Skyr!
Why I like it: Volume and versatility. So far this week I have used yoghurt to marinade chicken, to replace mayo in a coleslaw, in oats, in a protein shake and as a yoghurt.
I always have a pot of plain and coconut Skyr in the fridge - a quick snack of a few spoonfuls of skyr is basically guilt free and pretty satiating.
Marinade chicken breast - chicken breast its a favourite but can be a bit dull. whack it in some yoghurt with a few different spices - salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, chilli etc bit of lemon juice and parsley/coriander. Leave for a few hours and grill.
Coleslaw - finely slice half an onion, half a cucumber (deseeded) and half a small cabbage + a couple of grated carrots. finely slice a green chilli and some parsley/coriander. Mix in salt, pepper, dijon mustard, lemon juice or cider vinegar (gut health!) a little sugar and a few tablespoons of yoghurt and combine.
^ decent meal or combine with brown rice, sweet potato, broccoli or a mixed bag of salad.
Also another meal I made Saturday:
Konjak noodle prawn pad thai - quick and cheaty but who cares. I followed this recipe. I used cooked frozen prawns. Added an extra egg. Used a ready made pad thai paste but added more lime and fish sauce. Then used Konjak noodles rather than ordinary - wash in a sieve plenty before using but taste great and low cal. I added a some peanut butter as I didn't want to buy a bag of nuts and then obviously eat the rest of them at some point. You could forgo the prawns and use tofu. or add more veg.
Both those recipes are quick, easy, healthy, relatively cheap and low cal so hopefully good for this thread too :)
