BREAKFAST
PARMESAN & POWER GREENS EGG CUPS
INGREDIENTS
for 12 (serving size = 63 g)
​
-
10 Large Eggs
-
250 G Diced Onion
-
90 G Washed And Chopped Kale
-
90 G Baby Spinach
-
1/2 Tsp Salt
-
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
-
1/2 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
-
100 G (1/2 Cup) Full-Fat, Unsweetened Coconut Milk (The Macros For This Recipe Were Calculated Using Trader Joe’s Brand)
-
80 G Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese
-
Nonstick Spray
​
-
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a nonstick muffin tin with nonstick spray or line a muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
-
Spray a large frying pan with nonstick spray and place it over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let the onions sweat for 3–5 minutes, until they turn translucent. Add the kale and spinach. Don’t worry if your veggies are overflowing—the spinach and kale will wilt. Simply cover the pan with a large metal bowl and let the veggies cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until the kale and spinach cook down. Remove the veggies from the pan and spread them over a baking sheet to let them cool while you prepare the eggs.
-
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are incorporated. Add the coconut milk, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
-
Ladle 45–50 grams of egg mixture into each muffin cup, no more than 2/3 of the way full. (See closing paragraph.) Now, weigh your kale & spinach mixture and divide the veggies’ weight by the total number of egg cups you’ve filled. Gently spoon equal amounts (between 25–30 grams) of the greens into each egg-filled cup, taking care not to fill the cups all the way to the brim.
-
Bake the egg cups until set, about 15–20 minutes. Let the egg cups rest for a few minutes before removing them from the tins. They will deflate a bit as they rest and pull away from the edges of the pan, making them easier to remove.
​
Muffin tins are (annoyingly) not standardized. Each brand holds a slightly different volume and shape, so you may end up with more or fewer egg cups depending on the size of your muffin tin. In order to prevent overflow, err on the side of caution and reduce the amount of filling you use for each egg cup. If you end up with more or less than 12 egg cups per batch, simply adjust your macros to fit with your total yield.​

LUNCH / DINNER
Sweet Potato Salad with Cherries & Pistachios (Gluten Free)
INGREDIENTS
for 5 (serving size = 185 g)
​
-
720 G Sweet Potatoes, Cut Into 1” Chunks
-
35 G Olive Oil
-
13 G Garlic (3-4 Cloves)
-
190 G Pitted Cherries (210 G With Pits)
-
57 G (1 Small) Shallot, Very Thinly Sliced
-
1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
-
100 G Arugula
-
28 G Feta Cheese
-
28 G Salted & Shelled Pistachios, Chopped
-
Salt & Pepper
-
7 Grams Olive Oil (Dressing)
-
3 G Dijon Mustard (Dressing)
-
The Juice Of ½ An Orange, Or 2 Tbs Orange Juice (Dressing)
​
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Wash and cut the sweet potatoes (no need to peel) and arrange them on a baking sheet.
-
Using any kind of small blender (like a Nutribullet), food processor, or hand blender, add the 35 g of olive oil along with the garlic and blitz until combined.* Pour the garlic oil all over the sweet potatoes but DO NOT RINSE the container you used to make the garlic oil. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper to the sweet potatoes and toss until they’re evenly coated. Roast for 45 minutes, flipping once, or until they’re browned on the outside and soft on the inside.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the salad. Weigh and pit the cherries and add them to a medium sized bowl along with the thinly sliced shallots. Sprinkle in a bit of salt and add the apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and let the mixture marinate.
-
Next, make the dressing. Add an additional 7 grams of olive oil to the unrinsed container with leftover garlic oil along with the mustard and orange juice. Blitz the mixture one more time. Set the dressing aside.
-
When the potatoes are finished cooking, add them to a large bowl along with the marinated cherries & shallots, arugula, chopped pistachios, and feta. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine. Add salt & pepper to taste and serve.
-
If you don’t have a blender or food processor of any kind, either omit the garlic and skip this step, or think ahead and let the garlic marinate in the oil overnight. Simply chopping the garlic and adding it to the sweet potatoes when roasting is likely to burn the garlic, but marinating the garlic in oil will give you the desired garlic-y taste.

Creamy Lentils with Boursin Cheese and Veggies
INGREDIENTS
for 4 (serving size = 100 g)
​
-
140g Pre-Cooked Lentils
-
275g Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
-
7g Olive Oil
-
15g Balsamic Vinegar
-
20g Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
-
Splash Of Red Wine Vinegar
-
40g Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese*
-
¼ C Parsley, Chopped
-
Salt & Pepper
​
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until bursting and shriveled, about 20-25 minutes. Set a timer to make sure you don’t overcook the tomatoes, otherwise the balsamic vinegar will burn!
-
Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a bowl along with a splash of red wine vinegar and a little salt. Let the onions soften while the tomatoes roast.
-
Meanwhile, cook the lentils according to package directions.
-
When the lentils are cooked (or warmed in the microwave, if using pre-cooked lentils) and the tomatoes are roasted, combine them in a large bowl along with the Boursin cheese. Add the pickled onions, chopped parsley, and salt & pepper to taste. Serve warm. Can’t find any Boursin cheese? Try herbed, soft goat cheese or cream cheese. Just don’t forget to adjust your macros!

​
196 CAL
-
Thinly slice the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick, bite-sized chunks. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, stir all the remaining ingredients together until well combined. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate up to 24 hours.*
-
Cook the chicken over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan, occasionally flipping the chicken until it’s cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
-
Remove cooked chicken from the heat and cook down any remaining sauce until it’s thickened. Then, pour the thickened sauce over the cooked chicken.
-
Now enjoy your chicken gyro any way you’d like!
-
I prefer to serve the chicken in a wrap with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and tzatziki sauce!
* The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful and tender it becomes, but even a 15- to 20-minute marinade makes a huge difference.
