Does anyone have some good healthy recipes?

Such as smoothies,and just things for someone on a diet :) links or explaining as long as it is the right thing thanks xxDoes anyone have some good healthy recipes?
The key to losing weight is restricting calories enough so you burn more than you consume, and eating enough that you don't feel hungry or unsatisfied. The best way to do this is to make sure your diet includes plenty of lean protein. Protein helps you feel fuller, longer, so you eat less overall.





Try eggs for breakfast. Scramble up one whole egg with one or two egg whites. Use non-stick cooking spray rather than butter. You can make it an omelette by adding veggies like spinach, mushrooms or peppers. A piece of fruit and a low fat yogurt make a complete meal, and all for about 250 calories.





Lunch try bringing your own salads to work or school. Load them up with grilled chicken, reduced sodium ham, or shrimp. Always make sure you use a ';light'; dressing.





For dinner, your plate should be broken into 4 spaces. 50% of the plate should be vegetables, 25% starch, and 25% lean protein. I'll give you a couple of good dinner recipes that are yummy and low cal. The first would taste great with some brown rice and green beans.





***Apricot Glazed Pork Medallions***





1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds


Salt


Ground black pepper


2 teaspoons sesame oil


1 1/4 cups apricot preserves


1/4 cup tamari sauce


1 tablespoon chopped pickled ginger (or use fresh minced)





Directions


Season both sides of pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear 2 minutes per side. Add apricot preserves, tamari sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce reduces.





***Buffalo Chicken Salad***





2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves


2 tablespoons cayenne pepper hot sauce (or other hot sauce), plus more to taste


2 teaspoons olive oil


2 hearts Romaine, cut into 1-inch strips (about 8 cups)


4 celery stalks, thinly sliced


2 carrots, coarsely grated


2 scallions, green part only, sliced


1/2 cup Blue Cheese Dressing, recipe follows


Directions


Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet or hammer so the chicken is an even thickness of about 3/4-inch, then cut the chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce and the oil, add chicken and toss until the chicken is well coated. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and broil until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning once.





In a large bowl combine the Romaine, celery, shredded carrots and scallions. Toss with the dressing. Divide the greens between 4 plates, top with the chicken. Serve with extra hot sauce.





Blue Cheese Dressing:


2 tablespoons mayonnaise


1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk


1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt


1 tablespoon white vinegar


1/2 teaspoon sugar


1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese


Salt and freshly ground pepper





Fold a full sheet of paper towel into quarters and put it into a small bowl. Spoon the yogurt onto the paper towel and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to drain and thicken. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and thickened yogurt into the mayonnaise until smooth. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the blue cheese and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

This is an easy Banana Smoothie Recipe Enjoy


Ingredients:


1 banana


1 cup of whole milk


1 cup yogurt(preferabbly strawberry banana yogurt)


4 large strawberries








Blend the banana and strawberries with the milk and yogurt until a smooth cremy texture is formed. For those who would like to add a shot of protein, ginko biloba, or other item, this smoothie is perfect
celery: wash and cut... blueberrys... wash... you burn more calories to digest them than you ingest. Have a grilled chicken breast on a salad with salsa as a salad dressing instead of high fat and calorie salad dressing. Eat lots of veggies and low fat protein. Seafood, fish, chicken... Avoid carbs... If you want to eat out get salads with dressing on the side and to reduce fat even more skip the cheese.
