Post Workout Salads & Philly!

November 25, 2013 by

Happy Monday! I’m currently people watching in the Philadelphia International Airport waiting to board my flight to California! Airports and traveling are something that I’m used to, so flying doesn’t bother me. However, the sweet lady sitting next to me has so much perfume on that it’s hard to breathe, so if that is my biggest issue at the moment, I guess I’m good!

Crunchy Baked Coconut Chicken, Zesty Yogurt Sauce, & Roasted Mixed Veggies

October 8, 2013 by

I loveee coconut. Whether its on chicken, shrimp, candy, anything- I love it! Pairing coconut with baked chicken is an easy way to add a little sweetness, while getting the crunchy feeling of fried chicken… without actually being fried. :) First, pound out 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut off any extra fat. For the “breading” you need: *2 ½ cups unsweetened coconut flakes *3 packages of Truvia *1 cup unsweetened almond milk *2 egg whites* In a bowl, mix the almond milk and egg whites. On a plate, add 1/3 of the coconut flakes, and 1 package of Truvia. (For each breast, add more coconut and another pack of sweetener.) Dip each breast in the egg mixture, then coat in the coconut, after placing on a baking sheet. Repeat for the following chicken…
