Watch your amount of sodium intake

It’s very important to watch what you consume as frozen foods can leave you pretty dehydrated and for some, it can increase their heart rate and blood pressure. So it is not against any rules to have frozen foods, but just keep in mind the aforementioned.

Always ensure you have the proper amount of water in your daily regimen, whether it’s just 8 glasses for simply sitting on your ass at work or if you’re out and about all day long and especially and obviously if you’re playing sports or sweating profusely. Water is the key. At least 12-18 cups.

Today’s meal was pretty quick. I was done cooking and heating the food so I was ready to go in less than 10 minutes and that’s with nuking all 3 items.

The recipe calls for frozen meatballs, quinoa, and sweet potato. Love me some sweet potato.

1 serving size of meatballs was plenty for this meal and for lunch. This is not to fill you up for the entire remainder of the day.
The particular party meatballs from the package stated 6 meatballs per serving and I believe, don’t quote me on this, because I don’t have the package information any longer,  was 14 or 21 grams of protein per serving. That is excellent and it definitely was enough for this particular meal.
The quinoa serves as a great protein and whole grain and that would be your superb carb for that meal. I know what you are thinking, ” oh man, quinoa, I hate quinoa, it’s so dry. Although, I guarantee that this box of quinoa from Trader Joe’s, that is frozen, that you just stick in the microwave, is the easiest most satisfying quinoa that you ever will eat. Now to help it go down, I add just a hint of butter and a tad bit of ground pepper or any season for that matter because to me, and I don’t know many people to do it, it does take a lot to eat plain quinoa. Maybe you can build up to it, but I don’t know about me right now. I’ll try next time. Ha!

The last item on this recipe is sweet potato. Its also known to be a carb or starch, but is really great for you to really boost the flavor of your meals. A little secret that I’ll share with you is I added cinnamon to the sweet potatoes. No added sugar needed as cinnamon creates a bust full of flavor. Then I added the sweet potato to the quinoa to mix it up quite a bit and boom, a beautiful, tasty meal with quinoa to satisfy your taste buds and your meal planning.

The only thing that I highly advise of is to again watch the amount of sodium and keep track of it with the remaining meals that you eat per day. I’ll end this as usual with a BAM, Boom and Voila!
