Mediterranean Snow Peas
Oct 11, 2022
Shocking stat! Only 1 out of every 10 people eat enough of this food group ...
Even though these foods help keep your heart healthy … your skin glowing … your energy high … your hormones balanced … and your tummy happy.
PLUS, they can also help boost your mood AND manage your weight, while fending off serious diseases like obesity, diabetes, and more.
Sounds pretty miraculous, am I right?
In case you haven’t guessed it yet … it’s fruits and veggies. But for whatever reason, most of us don’t get enough of them!
Every day, it’s recommended that we eat at least and if not more:
- 1.5 to 2 cups of fruits
- 2 to 3 cups of vegetables
If you’re in the 90% of people who don’t eat enough fruits and veggies, here are a few simple ways to sneak more into your diet:
- Make it a point to eat a salad for lunch
- Enjoy green smoothies
- Add greens (spinach, kale, etc.) to sauces, soups, or stews
- Automatically add a side of veggies every time you eat dinner (tip: frozen veggies make this easy and budget-friendly!)
- Add them to your casseroles (even meatloaf – spinach, peppers, pumpkin, etc.)
- Eat fruit with your breakfast
Mediterranean Snow Peas
This takes 5 minutes in a pan. You want to barely cook these as noted to keep the lightly crunchy natural sweetness of this seasonal delicacy! Wash and trim the tips and pull larger strings off the snow peas
Ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 pound fresh snow peas, trimmed
1 tablespoon water, or more as needed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in Italian seasoning and snow peas. Add water; cook and stir until peas are bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper.
Enjoy!!
I’m a wife and mum, personal trainer, fitness/pilates instructor and body transformation coach, author of Cookie Dough in the Dark, creator of Vibrant Living Membership - your ONE STOP shop for health, fitness and nutrition..... among many other things!! I’ve had many issues dealing with the scale going up and down, a muffin top that wouldn’t disappear, emotional eating binges that did not involve carrots and struggling with insecurity! Through all of this I just wanted to feel normal. I wanted to be happy like everyone else!
In my teens and 20’s I wanted the quick fixes, the magic pills, the fairy dust – whatever I could get my hands on to make me a lean, happy and sexy machine. Yup, found out it doesn’t exist. I wanted to cry!! I was so frustrated. I felt like I was going around and around until I was completely exhausted and back at the starting point. And when I talk with other women they feel that way too. So, I delved further into holistic health – the emotional, mental and physical – wrote a book, and have been in this field for many years helping 1000’s of women.
I discovered that by being smarter, not working harder, I could get the results I wanted and also for my clients. It started with some really small shifts that I will share with you over time. With this new knowledge, I felt ALIVE, VIBRANT and COMFORTABLE in my own skin. And my clients felt this way too!
My mission is to continue to help women step into the body they WANT. To feel confident & sexy, in control of their food choices and have their clothes fit just as they should while having the energy to live a VIBRANT life.
