Angel Hair Coleslaw


With the Ideal Protein protocol it is important to be prepared.  When I ask "what made you successful this week?" The answer I get 99% of the time is I prepped food and was read.  In other words be prepared.

This recipe is one you can prepare ahead of time.  It keeps great in the refrigerator and offers a crisp and cool option to get your veggies in.


Recipe
Ingredients
one bag angel hair cabbage (found at Walmart Grocery or Winco Grocery) or one head of green cabbage sliced thin
1/4 cup Walden Farms Zesty Mayo
3 packets of Stevia
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Whisk Walden Farms Zesty mayo, Stevia, white vinegar, paprika, salt, pepper.
Toss sliced cabbage with the dressing.

Zoodles aka Zucchini Pasta

Do you zoodle aka zucchini pasta? I do at least once a week. A great healthy alternative to pasta. Also an awesome way to get your two cups of vegetables in at a meal. 

To prepare put zucchini through a spiral slicer. Can pretty much find these anywhere now. Mine is from Amazon. To cook sauté in 1 tsp of olive oil with some garlic or boil in water for about 2 minutes. Don't over cook the zucchini will end up mushy.  Zucchini noodles should be a little al dentate.



Recipe:
Start with 1 tsp of olive oil on a pan with a clove of diced garlic. 
Add 1 lb. ground turkey, season with salt and pepper and brown. 
Remove turkey from pan when browned. 
To same pan add quartered mushrooms and 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes. 
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. onion powder and 1/4 tsp. oregano over mushrooms and tomatoes cook until tender. 
Add meat back to pan and mix. 
Top to cooked zoodles (see how to cook above)
