WHOLE FOODS LEAN + GREEN
The lean + green option for dinner is simple: Lean
protein (which these days doesn’t necessarily have to
be lean, just look for a quality source) + green (nonstarchy veggies. You can add in healthy fats and a hint
of dairy too.
In the deli section of Whole Foods you will find
prepared: Grilled chicken breast, grilled salmon,
lemon chicken, and sweet chili salmon. Adjacent
from the dairy, vegetarians will find: Beyond
Meat strips + nuggets, HodoSoy organics, and Wildwood sprouted tofu. In the short-cut chef
(produce) section you will find an assortment of prechopped stir-fries and sautés. I love the asparagus
and mushroom options!
Dinner “fast” Food:
Lean + Green makes it so easy when dining out! We can find protein + veggie combos just about anywhere, although this process might be a bit harder for vegetarians (head to a veg restaurant like Chaco Canyon or Thrive!)
Lean + Green snack ideas include: Go Raw Flax Crackers (pizza, sunflower or spicy), Kevita drinks (choose
varieties under 3g sugar), plain Greek yogurt, nuts + seeds (small handful), kale chips
TURKEY BURGERS WITH TOMATO RELISH
For the burgers….
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped sweet peppers
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 chives
4 sprigs parsley
2 sprigs cilantro
4 ounces ground organic turkey
fresh cracked pepper
lettuce leaves (bun)
For the Tomato Relish~
1/2 red onion cut into 1/4 in slices
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper
6 cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 tbs fresh mint
1 tbs fresh parsley
1 tbs fresh oregano
Lemon juice
In a food processor, puree the veggies to a fine consistency. Add the vegetables to the turkey in a bowl and mix
well, seasoning with the pepper. Mold into two small burgers (1 inch thick) and chill for 20 minutes. For the
relish: Brush the onions and peppers with olive oil and grill until browned. Cool and chop up. Add the onions
to the mixture, with the tomatoes, and herbs. Stir in the remaining oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and
pepper. Grill up your turkey burgers and serve in between lettuce leaves with a scoop of the tomato relish.
Want to make life easier? If you cook on the fly like I do, you can just purchase Applegate Turkey Burgers
and then create the relish. Save on prep time! :)
The Lean + Green Theory //
Have you ever heard of a “Carb Curfew”? This is a controversial subject since it doesn’t exactly have the best
backing with science (scientists don’t believe that carbs can tell time), but countless fitness and health professionals have sworn by this tactic for weight loss and maintenance. I have had great success on a personal level utilizing
the curfew, and I have found it to be the missing link between clients and dietary plateaus. Not only does the
curfew eliminate excess carbs from being converted to fat when you are at rest, but it also curbs those pesky
nighttime cravings. By getting into the Lean + Green routine, you’re more likely to avoid unhealthy and mindless
snacking.
In addition, the Lean + Green phase promotes total body rejuvenation through Glow-Worthy Proteins and
unlimited greens. It is a wonderful way to end your vibrant and active day: With nourishment that replenishes
your body and assists with muscle tissue repair and development. It’s important to note that adequate, not excessive protein consumption is the key to a lean body. That’s what makes the all three phases of The Superfood
Diet so important ~ it ushers in the nutrient balance your body needs for maximum performance and function.
We often discuss pH balance, and the importance of maintaining your acid/alkaline balance via nutrition. A quick
tutorial on pH levels: Beneath the surface your body has hundreds of processes going on at one time. Your body
relies on an internal communication system in order to make sure everything is running efficiently. That communication system is your body’s pH level. The fluids in your body should register a pH between 7.35-7.50 in order
to stay healthy, disease free and efficient. You can test your pH through urine samples, and test strips are available at most health food retailers. When your body is host to an acidic environment (brought on by stress, diet,
medications) our cells become porous and susceptible to disease. Our energy and immunity decrease, and enzyme function (metabolism) comes to a screeching halt. If you’re concerned with weight loss, you should know
this: Your metabolism is dependent on enzymes to function. When your body is acidic, consider those enzymes
to be fast asleep, which means...so is your metabolism!
Since this phase focuses on weight loss, it is therefore important to put an emphasis on how important those
dark green veggies truly are! The Lean + Green phase must balance the acidic nature of meat with alkalineforming green vegetables. The ‘green’ is the main event, and the ‘lean’ (meat) becomes the side dish. Balance your
grass-fed steak with dark green veggies. Out for sushi? Fill up on nori & seaweed salad! You can also bring in balance through alkaline-forming seasoning, such as apple cider vinegar, and real sea salt. Sea salt contains over 80
trace minerals and can quickly restore alkalinity to the body. Add sea salt at the end of your cooking process so
that it remains in it’s raw state.
Athletes who train early in the morning on a fasted state, please feel free to add carbs in as you see fit!
Westlake Whole Foods has a great setup, but can be a bit hectic if the checkout area is congested. Up front
you’ll find your Umchu Bars right at the checkout, along with other fresh juices, Kombucha, and salads to go. We
