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.

    Good luck.
