Most of us get caught in this predicament: It’s late, so what’s the best thing for me eat? First things first, simple or complex, keep the carbs low. In general, try cutting out starchy and simple carbs after 6pm (fruit, rice, bread, potatoes, pasta, etc); and, make sure to stick to lean protein sources & veggies (low carbs).
Below is a dish that is high in protein, fresh, colorful, and simple. This is an amazing group of words that should describe the food you often prepare. I had some time to whip something up, but let’s be real, I’m not about to flip on the stove at almost 10:30 at night. I decided on grilled chicken over a citrus slaw.
First, I grabbed grilled chicken from the fridge. (QUICK TIP: I had grilled a batch of chicken on Sunday night so I could use during the week in various meals) Next, I took out a bag broccoli slaw from the fridge. I recently discovered this at Trader Joe’s. They sell slaw made of the stems of broccoli, so if you want to mix it up, or don’t like cabbage slaw, this works great! Now this is where you can get creative. Add whatever ingredients you want, within reason of course. I grabbed a cashew, almond, & cranberry mix and some pear. Then I mixed up a citrus vinaigrette. Again, use what you got! I used OJ, lime, orange marmalade, and olive oil. And of course salt and pepper.
Like I said before, keep it fresh, keep it simple. Be creative! Hope this spurs some ideas. Till next time!
