Shrimp And Avocado Tacos

Enjoy the taste of seafood while getting a hefty helping of protein. All you need for this is:

• 1-2 avocados, mashed with a fork
• 10 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1/4 onion, chopped finely
• 4 taco shells

Heat up your skillet on medium heat and add oil. Add in your onions and cook until they get translucent. Now add in your shrimp and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook your shrimp until they turn pink, then remove them from the heat. Spoon in your avocado into each taco shell, then place your shrimp on top of your avocado. Top with salt, pepper, and any other spices you want to add.

Grilled Chicken And Tomato Sandwiches

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover chicken! This will yield four sandwiches. So, if only two people are eating it, reduce the ingredients by half. All you need is:

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste 
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Half a tomato sliced
• 4 hamburger buns or rolls of choice

Heat up your skillet over medium-high heat with oil spread evenly. Season both sides of your chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side. While it’s cooking, slice your tomato. Then remove the chicken from heat when finished cooking inside and out. Let it cool before slicing up. Finally, add your chicken and tomatoes to your buns!

Cottage Cheese And Pineapple 

This meal is the perfect blend of sweet and savory! All you need for this one is:

• 1-2 cups pineapple chunks,
• 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat)
• 1/4 cup walnuts.

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl, and that’s it! It’s very simple but still satisfying. This meal has less than 300 calories, 27 grams of protein, and 20 grams of healthy carbs. So get your protein in, but keep your macros in check!

Breakfast Burrito Bowls

Combine your favorite breakfast ingredients with some protein-packed eggs, and you’ve got yourself a meal that will start your day off right! All you need for this is:

• 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
• 4 eggs, scrambled (whole eggs are best, but egg whites work too)
• salt & pepper to taste (about 1 tsp of each)
• 3 tbsp of water or milk
• 1/4 cup of your cheese of choice

Put oil in your skillet on medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender. Now add in your eggs and scramble them up well. Add in the water or milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until done, then scoop into a bowl. Add some cheese on top if you like. So there you have it, a quick and easy breakfast bowl!
