Healthy Pancakes

Posted: Jan 25, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •

 

I love Pancakes, but must limit them. 

Great Recipe:

  1. Whole grain or Buckwheat pancake mix.
  2. Add an extra Organic egg or two for protein or a scoop of our NanoPro Protein powder.
  3. Use water or Raw milk.  Water has less calories.
  4. Add fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries while cooking.
  5. And ALWAYS Pure Maple Syrup.  The other junk is all corn syrup and sugar.

The berries make them very moist and this cuts back on the amount of syrup you need.  This was our breakfast before school today.  So, it can be done quick and healthy.  

Have fun.  Dr. T

 

Easy Egg Breakfast...for Champions!

Posted: Jan 22, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •

 

I love eggs.  Very Healthy, High in Protein, Low in calories, and All Around Great Food.

Try this:

  • 1 Whole egg and 2-3 Egg Whites (for low calorie)
  • 1 Tbsp of Bruschetta
  • 1 Tbsp Salsa
  • Dash of Hot Pepper
  • Dash of Sea Salt
  • Can add Onion, Green/yellow/red Pepper, Cilantro or Spinach

Cook slow and Enjoy.  This is one of my favorite Breakfast meals.  No Carbs but the veggies.  

If you are having a slow start to your morning, get tired mid-morning, or need to transition from cereals and a high carb breakfast, start with eggs.

God bless and remember what you put in (food) gives you energy or takes away your energy.  This GIVES Energy!  Dr. T

Easy Egg Salad

Posted: Jan 17, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •

 

You may laugh at the simplicity of this post, but this is the summer-y salad that I often forget about.  It’s SO simple and most of you probably have your own egg salad recipe.  But, for those of you who don’t, here is the easiest sandwich you could possibly whip up this summer.  As always, there are many variations, including deviled-egg salad.  I’ll post a few options below.  Maybe you can try it a new way!  Enjoy it on greens as a cool salad or on a piece of toasted Ezekiel (or any gluten & wheat free) bread.

 

What you’ll need:
(makes 2-3 sandwiches)

  • 4 hard-boiled organic, free-range eggs
  • 1 TBS (or less) Vegenaise
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • sea salt/pepper to taste

OPTIONAL: 
1 TBS celery, finely chopped
1 TBS sweet relish
1 tsp paprika
dash of stevia

How it’s done:

  1. Mash hard-boiled eggs in a bowl.
  2. Add all ingredients and stir together. 

Eggs are a great source of protein and omega-3.  With Diabetes, Obesity, Heart disease, and all other chronic health conditions skyrocketing, we need to do all we can to Prevent and Reverse this.  Have a wonderful, egg-delicious Day!  Dr. T

  • 1/2-3/4 cucumber, peeled and sliced
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Quick Power Drink Smoothie

Posted: Jan 1, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •

 

This is a quick power drink that will keep you going for hours, help you lose weight, and will make you feel refreshed.

I just made this for my lunch and it is very healthy and pretty darn tasty too.  For a Healthy green shake that is.

In Blender:

2 cups fresh broccoli  

1 cup cold water (or as much as necessary)

1 cup  frozen pineapple, blueberries or mango

1 banana

1-2 scoops protein powder

Flavored stevia for sweetness

It makes quite a big drink.  It may take time to drink or split it up and drink the other half in a couple hours for your afternoon boost.

It may not taste like Ben and Jerry's but it is pretty good.  Most green shakes are too expensive, taste very bad, or if they do taste good -- they usually aren't very healthy.

Try it and add whatever tasty ingredients you like.  Raw almonds, flax seeds, NanOmega powder, or a green apple. 

Enjoy!  Dr. T
