    Turkey Meatloaf

    This is a great recipe for food prep that you can portion out and put in your single serve containers for the week. Serves 8 and only uses 1/2 a purple, 1 red and 1/2 a yellow.

    2 lbs. raw 93% lean ground turkey
    1 c. all-natural mild salsa
    1 c. cooked quinoa, cooled
    2 large eggs, lightly beaten
    3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 tsp. sea salt or Himalayan salt (Mineralize)
    Ground black pepper or fresh parsley optional

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Combine turkey, salsa, quinoa, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper in large bowl. Mix well. Shape into loaf and place on ungreased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until center is no longer pink. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

    What are some of your favorite meals?

    I'm really hungry at the end of the day, so I save a lot of protein and veggies for that time. I tried spreading them out more, but I found I was still hungry in the evening. It's important to listen to your body, it will guide you on what to eat and when. My favorite dinner is easy:

    8 oz. chicken breast seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, ground pepper and a little sea salt (I broil or crockpot it)
    1/2 c. brown rice
    1/2 c. red onion
    1-2 c. mushrooms

    I saute' the above and mix the chicken in and top it off with a little mozzarella cheese.

    1 blue, 1 yellow, 2 red and 2-3 green containers. The portion is huge and combats my evening munchy cravings!

    I think I have mastered the perfect Shakeology recipe, so wanted to share!

    Strawberry Shakeology
    1/4 tsp. pure orange extract
    1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
    1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
    1 purple container Wyman's triple blend frozen berries
    8 oz. water

    Blend and enjoy! It tastes a lot like a dreamsicle!

    Can not call it a recipe but love egg whites and kale scrambled with a bit hot sauce for breakfast.
