I posted my binders the other day but also sent this video to Nutrionist to share with them why I contact them all the time to help convert recipes. I just received this email which made my day. One of my goals as a coach is to help people lose weight and get healthy for a lifetime but I never want this awesome program to become ”eat the food lose the weight “. Finding good recipes that are compliant to help people not get bored or frustrated is very important; I believe to.  ... And a great healthy meal to share with the whole family. That’s why you may see me post recipes or comment on posts. Keep up the great work your doing on your health journey and keep looking for a new recipe from me around the corner.  My name is Lindsey and I am a Dietetic Technician with Nutrition Support with OPTAVIA®. I hope you are doing well! Thank you for sending in your video; we love hearing your positive feedback! I’m so glad to see you have put together such an arsenal of recipes! You are absolute

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Casserole Ingredients: 4 lb spaghetti squash - you will only need 4 cups 8 oz part skim ricotta 8 oz reduced fat mozzarella cheese, divided 2 tbsp egg beaters 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese 2 cups Italian diced tomatoes with less than 5 g of carbs per 1/2 cup, divided 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 2 tsp olive oil 6 oz Jennie O Italian seasoned ground turkey, cooked or make your own seasoned meat Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick squash with fork or metal skewer and roast in oven for an hour or until it seems soft when you press on it. (Microwave it for a MUCH faster meal, I did!

Use a fork or spoon to scoop out the rest of the squash and set aside in a bowl. Me

Got the flu or just hot during the coming summer weather. Stay on track on the program by eating your meals as a Popsicle. I made these today with the ready made shakes. It made 2 big Popsicles. Eat them both for a total of 1 meal. Wow got to like that!!! You can use other flavor shakes to just add cold water and mix with the Optavia protein powder shake. Remember all Popsicles makers are different in sizes; always just use all the shake.
