HEALTHY RECIPES ROUND UP 2025

What I gathered from last week’s POST on what I eat in a day, you all seem to be very inspired with healthy ideas and recipes so I’m here for you! Last year, I created a healthy recipes Round Up Post with things I have been creating and eating and I’m here to do that again in 2025. And they are EASY!!! February might be half over but I’m still going strong with trying to eat well! Of course, I fall off the wagon, last week I made Valentine monster cookies, and let’s just say I had more than one, lol! 

 

Trying is all any of us can do and let me just say, do what works for you, what sounds good to you and what feels best inside your body! Everybody has thoughts on what we should and shouldn’t eat, but it’s nobody’s business but yours. I’m just here to give you some ideas and what works for me. 

 

I’m hungry, Let’s Eat


Protein Bowls

This one is my favorite because it’s so customizable. My top two favorites are pumpkin and lemon, but I have made Key lime, peanut butter, vanilla and eggnog protein bowls. It’s so funny. I don’t like cottage cheese by itself, but in these protein bowls, it’s a huge winner. I also put it in eggs, and I cannot get enough of this high protein, low fat yumminess. I have found that not all cottage cheese brands are alike, and my favorite quickly has become the Good Culture brand, specifically theLow-ft classic!

 

I’m going to share how I made the pumpkin protein bowl, and substitute with lemon but really this is a whatever flavor you can come up with and works for you.




Calories: 170 & 30gr protein

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Last year I made the pancakes, and may I add, very easy pancakes with a banana, this time I tried with sweet potato, and I think I like these even better. Plus, they pack a lot more fiber. I love that you can eat them all and still be low in calories.


Calories: 240 & 20 gr protein

Salmon Sushi Bowls

I love sushi, but I’ve never tried to make it and it’s rare we go out for it. This gives me some sushi flavors while getting a healthy serving of salmon! I don’t eat a lot of rice and never white rice, so sometimes I do substitute with cauliflower rice in this recipe, but I must say it’s better with rice. I like to slice an avocado with this as well, but I did not have any, but I had some little cups of smashed avocado, which worked just fine. I just grabbed a little bit with each bite. Even you don't like Sushi, you may like this since the salmon is cooked.



Calories: 415 & 30gr protein

Protein Dole Whip

I’ve never had the pineapple dole whip from Disney World, but I sure have heard a lot about it! In my mind, my recipe tastes exactly like it does when drinking it with Mickey and Minnie, lol! I love having this as an afternoon snack. I bet it’s really going to be refreshing in the summer!



Calories: 170 & 13 gr protein


I have tried MANY protein powders but I still some back to the 

taste of this one! Love it. Get some HERE. And my Favorite Collagen Powder HERE. My top 2 Protein Powder is the FlavCity Vanilla Cream.


Easy Snack Ideas

I love to snack, but I try not to do it too often but when I do, I opt for something healthy. Two of my savory favorites are either Quest chips with the guilt free guacamole from Trader Joe’s or Parm crisps with hummus. If I want something sweet and I told you this before, I go for the Barebells bars. These are my two favorite flavors. 

I also want to add, I try not to eat too many things that are ultra processed like I know the quest chips are, but I feel like the protein outweighs that if I’m only doing it every now and then. Everything in moderation.

Let me know if you like post like this and if you want me to keep the healthy recipes coming! Have a great day, sweethearts!


AND PS...Need your prayers this week. Having a medical procedure done Wednesday....giving it to God but I'm still nervous. I'll probably share more soon. Probably be reading a lot as no workouts and taking it easy for two weeks..boo to that but it could be worse. Always a bright side to everything!

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY

I know these posts may be silly to some, a “I don’t really care what you eat,” lol. I, however, love them. Not only do posts like this offer food inspiration, new recipes and snack ideas, I feel like they can keep myself and you readers accountable. It might make you look at “hey what am I putting in my body” on a daily basis? Or maybe just a “YUM!” Ha ha! 

I will also give you the calorie and protein breakdown. I’m trying very hard to be in a little bit of a calorie deficit so I can get off the 5-7 pounds I gained over the holidays. I’m getting close.

Soon, I will be compiling another one of my healthy recipes round up posts and include some of these that I created. Like the one I did HERE.

 

Breakfast

I am now obsessed with the protein bowls I’m creating. And with making a batch ahead of time, I have 3-4 bowls ready for the week. I had Mr. Nine so intrigued that I created a peanut butter flavor for him, and he is in love! I always have at least a cup of berries total a day and in the a.m. I do have a cup of coffee with Stevia and 1 tsp. Chobani Coffee Creamer. 

Total Breakfast Calories 282 and 26g protein


I will add that I do still loosely intermittent fast. I normally only eat between the hours of 10:30-6:30. There may be done days I grab breakfast earlier, but I stick to it in most days. I also don’t intermittent fast on vacations or special occasions. 

 

Lunch

How I have been loving making my own Turkey sausage. Recipe

2 eggs, 2 small turkey sausage patties, a mini avocado and some strawberries and I’m good to go. I LOVE breakfast foods at all times of the day.

Total Lunch Calories 465 & 42g protein 


Or should I say teatime, lol. I have a cup of tea every afternoon and I always need a little something sweet with it. This is usually when I have my one date a day with a little bit of almond butter. You may recall my Post on How I Lowered My Cholesterol with dates. Sometimes, I will throw in some fruit and this time of year, I am loving the sumo oranges, but I just have a half. And I also just have a half of a Barebell Protein Bar

They are my all-time favorite protein bars.

Total Snack Calories 290 & 12g protein 


 Dinner

This Asian Chicken Salad is a flavorful delight that hits the spot. I used the ground chicken, slaw and dressing to make Asian Chicken tacos for Mr. Nine and I had the salad. So yummy. The ground chicken I use for this is a Recipe I’ve shared on the blog before way back my first year of blogging. 

Total Dinner Calories 350 & 30g protein 

My Target Calories is 1350-1450 and 

118 grams of protein. 

 

The way you calculate how much protein your body needs is: 

Your Weight divided by 2.2 x's 2=

If you're not as active, do it time s 1.2-1.8

 

I’d say I did pretty good this day with a 

Total of 1387 Calories and 112 grams of protein. 


What do you eat in a day?
