Balanced Bites Spices – Easy Recipe

SIMPLE MEALS RULE! Taylor of @shethrivesblog has this formula down to a science – protein, veg, fat, seasoning – boom!

SIMPLE MEALS RULE // @shethrivesblog has this formula down to a science – protein, veg, fat, seasoning – boom! 🥗 . #Repost @shethrivesblog ・・・ Steal my lunch! I slow cooked chicken breast in water and then shredded it with forks (I do this on the regular to have prepped go-to protein). 🍗 I put one breast in a bowl and added a spoonful of @primalkitchenfoods mayo, about 1/3c Greek yogurt, a squeeze of mustard, the juice of half a lemon, about a quarter of an apple (diced), half an onion (diced), a dash of finely chopped fresh cilantro, @dianesanfilippo's Mega Med spice blend, and all the s&p. I piled it onto whatever greenery I had in the fridge, hit it with a little balsamic and bam💥! . A super protein dense, super easy, extra yummy lunch that took about 3 minutes to throw together. It might not be the most “instagrammable” bowl of grub, but this is pretty much how I eat on the regular.💁🏼

Highlights from Instagram

FIGS IN A PIG // Prosciutto wrapped figs with a balsamic reaction. Super simple and a great way to eat fresh figs (besides just straight up!). . See how I did it in my IG stories LIVE video posts for the next 24 hours. 🙌🏻 . #cookwithdiane #figs #prosciuttodiparma

ARTS & CRAFTS YOU GET TO EAT // BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA 🍕 // That's how I feel about cooking. It's probably my favorite thing to do. I turn on a podcast, open the fridge, and get to work. . There is no real recipe for these yet, but I PROMISE to share one soon. PINKY PROMISE. . I made the BBQ sauce with @balancedbites #BBspices COFFEE BBQ blend and the crusts are @sietefoods coconut cassava (I also used the almond flour for Scott) tortillas. More in my story. . Do me a favor, will you? Comment below with a brand or product you discovered through me and if I hear from, let's say, 100 of you or more, I'll blog this recipe THIS WEEK. Deal? Go! (Also, gold star for you if you name one no one else has yet!) . #pizza #almostpaleo #bbqchickenpizza #pizzafriday #homemade #bbq #bbspices #evilgenius #getinmahbelly

CHORIZO // If you can find a clean option like this (mine is from my local farmers market and has no funky stuff in it!), use that. Otherwise, I've got a CHORIZO spice blend in #PracticalPaleo 1st & 2nd edition. Ideally it's made with pork but use any ground protein you like. . I topped some @sietefoods coconut cassava tortillas (warmed in a skillet) with chorizo, avocado, red onion, green onion, cilantro, goat cheese, and @Tabasco green hot sauce. . I also added some broccoli sprouts after this pic because I meant to but forgot… and also a whole pile of roasted Brussels sprouts! . #tacomonday #thisishowwereallyeat #lunch #tacos #chorizo #yum
