 If you read my last post, then you know I am in the midst of spring cleaning and that includes my body. I just recently put together a week's worth of recipes for one of my clients and it definitely inspired me to switch up my routine in the kitchen and try some new things. This week's recipe while simple and quick (you know that's my theme), is very colorful and versatile because you can choose whatever ingredients you want to include. The ingredients I have included will give you a filling meal that is fresh and full of protein. I love to get creative with my food when it comes to flavor and also presentation. I believe beautiful food makes the experience better. Even when you are making a quick meal like this rainbow wrap, you will have a treat for your eyes and belly. Rainbow Wrap Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: Enjoy Now! Ingredients:
Instructions: Gather your ingredients. Chop your veggies and be sure to precook your quinoa if you are including it in your wrap. Take your wrap and spread some hummus or dressing on it. Layer your veggies, beans and protein in the wrap. Be careful not to add too much so you can fold your wrap. Once folded, cut your wrap in half and enjoy! Notes: Preparing your wrap- chop your veggies up small so you can have even flavor in every bite. Feel free to have a cup of dressing or additional hummus on the side. Substitutions- you make prefer a wrap that is a bit healthier. Spinach, tomato, cauliflower or whole wheat wrap. You may also want to use collards in place of a traditional wrap. Additional ingredients- Adding avocado will give your wrap creaminess and healthy fat. Sprinkle some flax, hemp and chia seeds or walnuts in your wrap for extra nutrients and added crunch. Again, whatever you want to add is up to you. If you can fit it in your wrap, go for it! Recommendation for postpartum moms: cook all of your ingredients (veggies) before making your wrap so it will be easily digestible. Enjoy! For Your Information This recipe is:

 Spring has sprung and that means for me that means eating lighter. Like so many people, you may be adjusting your diet to get "summer ready", but I know that looks different for everyone. I have been focusing on eating more fruits and veggies as well as increasing my water intake and workouts. This week's recipe is one of my favorites and it's actually one my "go-to" recipes when I need something filling and healthy. I first found this recipe when I began training for my first 5k in 2014. As usual, it quick, easy to prepare and family-friendly. Apple stacks are fun to make and eat because of the endless topping possibilities. You can make a simple snack or turn your stacks into an elaborate treat! Did you know?
Apple Stacks Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: Enjoy Now! Ingredients:
Instructions: Wash and dry your apples. Cut apples into circular slices, removing the core and seeds. Once you have your slices cut, spread the desired amount of peanut butter or nut butter onto each slice. Now it's time to add your toppings. Honey and granola are popular toppings, but you can also add raisins, chocolate chips and nuts. I like to finish with a light dusting of cinnamon on each slice. Once your apple slices are topped, you can stack them. Four or five slices make a great stack (anything more may topple over). Notes: Preparing to eat your apple stacks- after slicing your apples, you may want to coat them with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning. You may choose to leave the tops of your apple stacks plain (pictured) or covered with nut butter and toppings. If you are serving children, you may want to make sandwiched or small stacks with three apple slices. Substitutions- any nut butter will work for this recipe, but my favorite is Earth Balance Creamy Peanut Butter and Coconut Oil Spread. It really takes this recipe up a notch! Additional ingredients- try a variety of sweeteners and toppings with your oats. Peanuts or peanut butter chips, coconut shavings and nuts could also be added to your stacks. Honey is the favorite among the choice of sweeteners, but you can also use brown sugar, coconut sugar or agave syrup. Enjoy! For Your Information This recipe is:
