One of my best secrets merely takes 15 minutes once a week. Typically I do it on the weekends while listening to favorite music or a football game blaring in the background. Intrigued?
I take 5 minutes to chop up a large batch of fresh vegetables and saute it in olive oil in a pan for 10 minutes. Use everything leftover in the refrigerator so nothing is ever wasted. Allow to cool and place in a large storage container in the refrigerator.
Then, when creating omelets for breakfast, whole-wheat wraps for lunch, or large salads for dinner, I take several big handfuls of colorful cooked vegetables to really PLUMP up and volumize my meals.
Staying on the nutritious skinny track is all about the VOLUME! My meals are huge, but it’s with low calorie, high quality extras that are filling and great tasting. Wraps are spilling over, omelets look gigantic, sandwiches and pitas are overstuffed, and my salads look like tall buildings.
More importantly, it adds an incredible extra pop of a sautéed, sweet olive oil flavor to any meal. It’s my decorative skinny icing on the nutrition cake!
Try it this week. You won’t regret those 15 fleeting minutes for the rest of the week.
