Here is my recipe: (it is pretty basic, but I am diabetic and I eat for that and also try to keep it healthy and high in potassium, I have run low on potassium where the dr. has given me a prescription in the past)

Cajun cod fish with veggie, cottage cheese and mango (and all cooked and ready in less than 10 minutes) (minus cutting up mango, I do mine ahead of time and pre baggie them in 3oz bags so it is grab and go)

4 oz cod fish (I buy vacume sealed fillets, that way they stay nice and fresh)
1/2 C. Fat free Cottage cheese sprinkled with black pepper
1C or 156g frozen broccoli florettes w/ seasoning and cheese
3oz (or a cup) of fresh mango
8oz low sodium V8 juice

Total figures are as follows
Calories = 386
Carbs =36
Fat = 11
Protein= 41
cholesterol=70
Potassium= 1,261 (you should get 4,700 daily)
Sodium=657 (this is a very low sodium for a main meal)
Sugar= 23
Fiber=15

Cod fish (4oz) (I am a very lazy, busy cook, I don't have much time to cook meals and this is a realy quick meal to make)

Place cod on plate and put in microwave for 2 min. (do not add seasoning to fish yet), when done, drain off the water/fluid, then sprinkly approx 2 tbls of pure 100% lemon juice over fillet, sprinke black pepper and cajun seasoning over fish flillet. Nuke another 2 minutes. To tell if fish is done, flake a bit with a fork, it should flake apart, if it isn't, nuke for another minute. (don't over cook or fish will get tough).

As fish is cooking on another plate, I put the frozen broccoli, place that in microwave when fish is done or while you are putting seasoning/lemon on fish. Nuke for approx 3 minutes. Then put fish back in microwave and pull out the broccoli. Sprinkly with Mrs dash salt free chipotle seasoning and sprinkle with serving size (per package) of shredded cheese. Now fish should be done and switch with broccoli again. Nuke broccoli 1-2 more minutes. Untill cheese is melted.

Place fish, broccoli and 1/2cup cottage cheese on plate (I sprinkle my cottage cheese with pepper and I only use fat free cottage cheese). Then add your 3oz (or cup) of mango to your meal with an 8oz glass of V8 and your set for a very healthy vitamin packed lunch or dinner. and it only took approx less than 10 minutes from freezer to table. (minus cutting up the mango. I do my mango up in advance and put in zip lock baggies at 3oz weights, so I can just grab and go)

If anyone wants the total break down per food item. I have an open food diary and will make this for my lunch today. 11-18-13

You get your meat (protein), 4-1/2 servings of veggies (V8 counts as 2 servings and 2 for broccoli), you get one dairy, and 2 servings of 1/2c of fruit

This is one of my favorite recipes to do. I make it for a lot of events i'm invited to because its very easy and people don't realize its healthy

Mixed fruit bars

two simple ingredients, a box of angel food cake and a bag of frozen fruit (defrosted)

Betty Crocker - Angel Food Cake Mix, 1 container 1,680 total calories
Great Value - No Sugar Added Berry Medley With Strawberries,Blackberries,Blueberries & Red Raspberries, 1 container (3 cups ea.) 210 total calories


Preheat oven to 400
Mix cake mix and bag of fruit together in a large bowl (do not add the water as described on cake box).
Place in an ungreased 9x13 cake pan (or similar size)
bake ~30 minutes or until top of cake is a golden brown
Allow to cool slightly and cut into "bars"

You can reduce the serving size even more by making smaller bars, but this assumes one tray making 24 bars

Total: cals:1,890 carbs:435 fat:2 protein:27 sodium:3,720 sugar:306
Per Serving: cals: 79 carbs: 18 fat: 0 protein: 1 sodium:155 sugar:13

its got a bit of carbs and sugar, but its low cal, low sodium, and fat free! You can use any type of fruit you like, the moisture from the fruit reacts with the cake mix to create a light, fluffy, and very yummy cake bar
