Hello all,
I'm fairly new here and new to this new healthy lifestyle. I am in a bit of a bind and thought I'd ask the community to share some recipes with me.
My biggest problem is balancing the sodium/potassium intake levels while maintaining an appropriate amount of protein in my diet. I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans, but I know I am NOT one. I LIKE meat. I've already started using leaner cuts, and replacing some of it with extra-lean ground turkey, but I just cannot get a handle on it.
It just seems like whenever I'm getting the sodium down, and the potassium up, I loose out on protein.
SO, if anyone has a recipe that is high in potassium, low in sodium, and has a decent amount of protein in it, I would really appreciate it if you would share it here.
Thanks.

Power Yogurt (I'm addicted)
1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
1 scoop whey protein
1 tbs flax seed oil
cinnamon to taste
fruit
I add berries but you can always add banana for extra potassium.
I love this stuff! I make it in the morning and by the time I have it for my afternoon snack the whey powder has dissolved into the yogurt and made a deliciously gooey treat!Mmmmm

Just use healthier ingredients in the recipes that you already use. And be careful of the meal portions. That's how I started out.
