Preserve and treat food as you would your body, remembering that in time food will be your body. ~B.W. Richardson
I think I am a healthy eater BECAUSE I love to run and be active. Those things really go hand in hand. I don't know a lot of people who tackle a long run after greasy fries and burgers. FOOD IS FUEL. Make sure you are filling up with the good stuff.
Here is one of my FAVE fast/healthy/easy/DElicious dinners. It has tons of protein, an adequate amount of carbs and isn't too heavy! It also makes a great lunch and travels really well (so you can bring it to school or work and be FUELED up for that 530 pm run!)
The BEST GREEK Chicken Salad Pita you will EVER eat
You need:
2 cups sliced romaine lettuce
1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast
1 chopped cucumber
1/4 cup sliced red onion
1/4-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (depending how much you LOVE feta..me=a WHOLE lot!)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons hummus (of your choice)
2 whole wheat pitas cut in half
Combine lettuce, cooked chicken, cucumber, red onion, and feta in a bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well, but gently.
Spread hummus on the inside of pita. Fill pita with salad mixture. Add additional feta or olive oil to taste. ENJOY!!!
