"Best.
Snack. Ever.” (orginally published at workingclassfitness.blogspot.com)
Ok, we all know that eating healthy can not always be the most
enjoyable thing. Usually, good for you doesn't usually equate
to tasty. (I'll never forget being a kid, watching the cartoon
"Muppet Babies", and Baby Rowlf saying something along
the lines of, "Why is it that when food looks ugly and
tastes like dirt, grown-ups say it's good for you!?" hahaha)
Well, I have something you're going to like. It's not a complete
solution, but man, you're going to like it.
A good diet will be high in protein, with low to moderate amounts
of carbs and healthy fats. A good source of protein is non-fat
cottage cheese. One serving has roughly 13 grams of protein,
only 4 grams of carbs, and no fat. The problem is that a lot
of people don't like cottage cheese - they just don't like the
taste.
Well, this will change everything.
Go out and get a large container of non-fat cottage cheese.
Add in a package of Fiesta Ranch salad dressing mix (the powder).
Mix well.
Voila! You've got one of the best snacks you're ever gonna
find. Personally, I can it just like that with a spoon, no problem.
But you can use it all kinds of ways - toss some on some lettuce
or spinach for a good salad (add a can of water-packed tuna,
and you've got a GREAT high protein, low-calorie meal that will
fill you up and get plenty of roughage into your system). Spread
some on organic bread for a good sandwich. Or use it as a dip
for veggies or (as long as you can restrain yourself) your favorite
baked snack cracker.
And the whole thing won't cost you but a couple bucks.
Go to the store and get some now. You won't be sorry.
Train Hard, Rest Hard, Play Hard.
