so easy, a caveman could do it

just wanted to share some of my favorite, quick, easy, and healthy meals.
healthy doesn't mean lack of taste. it's all about finding foods you like and putting them together in a way you enjoy.
after that, eating healthy just becomes a habit.

a.b.

breakfast
a. cottage cheese with strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, green grapes, and blueberries (fruit can be substituted depending on what kind you prefer)
b. whole wheat toast, avocado mash sprinkled with black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, goat cheese, topped with a sunny side up egg and tomato (gotta have that venti iced coffee, of course)

c.d.

lunch
c. protein caprese salad; tomatoes, diced fresh basil & avocado, quinoa (that's where the protein comes from), drizzled with balsamic vinegar 
d. fresh spinach, strawberries, crumbled goat cheese, clementines, a lime wedge, black pepper, drizzled with any type of dressing you like (I use ginger or balsamic vinegar)

e.f.

dinner
e. homemade pesto; two cups fresh basil, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil then mixed together in a food processor (easy to make and can be used on anything from pasta to sandwiches) [most often, pine nuts are added in pesto, but it's about personal preference]
f. protein bowl; quinoa, spinach, lemon-pepper grilled chicken (substitute with fish if you prefer), lemon-garlic sautéed broccoli, diced tomatoes, topped with sliced avocado, drizzled with any dressing you prefer
