Light & fit pasta salad

Hello Everyone!

Today I want to share with you all my light & fit pasta salad. Its full of delicious crisp veggies along with whole wheat Penne, Parmesan cheese and an organic balsamic vinaigrette. This is the perfect lunch time salad or can be paired with some baked salmon for dinner to make a heartier meal. To make this amazing salad you will need the following:


2 green bell peppers or any tricolored pepper of your choice, sliced
1 cucumber diced
2 14oz cans of garbananzo beans
1 14oz can of black olives, sliced
1 cup of raw broccolli
1/4 red onion sliced
3/4 box of whole wheat Penne 
2 cups of fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups of Simply Natural organic Italian vinaigrette (or your favorite Italian salad dressing).

*Makes about 10 servings

Wash and cut all the veggies and place in a relatively large bowl. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box and allow it to cool before incorporating with the veggies. Once the pasta has been incorporated, add the cheese and balsamic vinaigrette and mix well to make sure all the cheese and vinaigrette has been distributed evenly to all the veggies and pasta. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving. Happy eating!

Lean mean green monster juice

Hey everyone!
 Feeling a little sluggish today? Don't have a lot of energy? Wish today was already Friday?!? Well fret no more, I have the perfect solution for you! Its called my mean lean mean green monster juice, sounds yummy right? Although the color looks somewhat like green goop, I promise you it taste way better than it looks. Its also super nutritious and gives you a ton of energy especially when you need that extra pep in you step. To make this wonderful scary looking juice, you will need:

- 5 fuji apples
- 5 celery stalks
- 1 cucumber
- 1 head of kale
- half a head of romaine lettuce
- two limes
- a juicer


Wash & cut up your fruits and veggies, stick in juicer and BOOM enjoy! I would recommend letting the juice chill in the fridge so it gets nice and cool but if your like me and can't wait that long just throw in a couple ice cubes.

Deliciously wonderful :)
