Whole30 & Paleo Spicy Creamy Sweet Potato Bowl





This fast lunch or dinner option is a perfect post workout meal!!! This spicy number is my go to after my Orange Theory Fitness workout. It features my favorite Primal Kitchen Foods chipotle lime mayo, and some amazing paleo chicken sausage found at Costco !

I love how easy it is to tweak this recipe to fit your lifestyle & goals. Add or subtract the major components to adjust macros for your personal journey! Less carbs? Use a smaller sweet potato. More protein? Add more sausage! Does higher fat keep you full? Sweet! Add more mayo!




Ingredients
  • 1-2 handfuls of spring mix or Arugula 
  • 1/2 medium sweet potato 
  • 1 Compliant Chicken sausage (I found this wonderful Sabatino's paleo organic basil and cracked black pepper chicken sausage at Costco) 
  • 1Tbsp Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo (bought from thrive market - but can also be found on amazon) 
  • 4-6 Tbsp compliant salsa (like this Yai's Thai Thai Salsa)

Instructions:
  1. Bake or microwave your sweet potato (I love this microwave potato pouch - follow directions on pouch), when cool enough to handle slice in half and use other half for a 2nd portion or another plate. 
  2. In separate bowl mix salsa and mayo together and set aside. 
  3. Chop or slice chicken sausage then microwave or sauté. 
  4. Time to assemble! 
  5. Place your choice of greens into bowl 
  6. Place sweet potato over greens and score with a knife (or remove from skin if you prefer) 
  7. Add sausage 
  8. Top with creamy salsa 
  9. Enjoy!!!

Hearty Palmini Chicken "Noodle" Soup Whole30 & Paleo

Image
We are back with what may be the last soup of the season considering it seems to be warming up (at least here in sunny southern California!) This hearty soup will leave you with a full belly and provide your body with a TON of nutrients! Considering even the noodles are made from a whole vegetable source this soup tops the charts in my book for wins! The star of the show of course is the can of palmini that give this soup its name! There is zucchini co starting in a quartered and sliced role rather than a noodle role that suites it quite well. The carrot chips give this soup a delicious bit while still being tender and delicious. I diced up rotisserie chicken, but feel free to prep yours however you like (if you like bigger chunks try shredding!).   Ingredients: Chosen foods avocado oil spray 1 small onion diced 1 cup celery, sliced thin (about 2 stalks) 1/2 package carrot chips (or 2 carrots sliced) 1 can Palmini 4 cloves minced garlic cloves 64 ounces (2 cartons) low-s

Fried Chicken + waffles = classic (but not healthy) Chicken Tenders + mashed potatoes = classic (but not healthy) Chicken tenders made with paleo pancake/waffle mx + garlic rosemary cauliflower mash = super delicious  & pretty darn healthy! And the best part... this is almost too easy.

Butternut Squash Zig Zag Chili Whole30 & Paleo

Image
All of the ingredients for this simple, fun recipe are from Trader Joe’s! This chili comes together super quick and makes a lot of leftovers. It’s another variation on my “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Chili” recipe featured on my instagram! Basically I add whatever veggies I have that hold up well in a chili or stew that are about to go bad to the dish. So feel free to add ingredients you have that need to be used up! Growing up we ate chili over rice. These days I eat it over cauliflower rice, over a baked sweet potato or by itself and love to top it with avocado slices. It's totally up to you! Get creative and customize to your liking!   Ingredients: 1 can diced chili style tomatoes (@traderjoes fire roasted with green chili’s is perfect) 1 can tomatoes sauce 1lb ground turkey (ground beef or chicken work too) 1 onion (diced) 1 package of butternut squash zig zags 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper Cauliflower Rice (fresh or frozen) Add (or don’
