Venison, Spinach and Avocado Power Wrap – Fitness, Good Fats and Fuel

Venison wrap avocado spinach

Venison Wrap with Spinach, Avocado – “Protein Power Wrap”

Some days, the secret to fueling your workout is clean eating fast! This venison wrap with spinach and avocado, my “Protein Power Wrap” is perfect for that. I like to have proteins and good fillers like Quinoa or wild rice precooked and ready in my refrigerator.  This allows me to eat strong, eat healthy even when I am in a rush.  The biggest risk to your healthy lifestyle and fueling your workouts properly is your busy schedule.  The secret to success in maintaining your fitness and health is to be prepared.  If you are on a strict paleo diet or just a well balanced healthy eater, “no time to cook” will be your downfall.

So this is one of my favorite go to fitness fuel meals when I am in a rush!

Ingredients

6-8 ounces of Grilled Venison Steak

1/2 an Avocado

1/2 cup of Organic Spinach

diced onion

1 Whole Wheat Tortilla

(Like i said….Simple and quick)

 

The key to quick is to have things precooked.  If the venison is pre-grilled, it can be quickly reheated on the grill or in a stove-top pan. If you are making this from scratch, you will want to tenderize the venison steak with a punch or a small knife.  season or marinate the meat to your taste. I am a big fan of keeping it simple, olive oil, sea salt, fresh garlic and black pepper but feel free to add whatever pleases your taste buds.

While the venison is cooking or warming, cube your avocado, dice the onion and warm the tortilla on the grill or pan.

Once the venison is ready, place everything in the tortilla and wrap and ENJOY!

Grilled Wahoo Fish Tacos – Cheat Day Treat

Grilled Wahoo Fish Tacos – Cheat Day Treat

Even on cheat day, you still need to keep your fitness and dietary goals in mind.  Grilled wahoo fish tacos are a great way to make sure you get the protein you need to fuel your fitness goals and get the satisfaction of misbehaving you want!

The secret to great fish tacos is fresh, fresh, fresh!  Fresh fish, most dense white fish will work, mahi is a great choice and abundant, for this treat we chose wahoo.  Wahoo is a little less common in most supermarkets that mahi but it is a great choice if you can get it.  Fresh, guacamole, sour cream and salsa are a must!  Finally, chop up all of you favorite garnish veggies, peppers, cilantro, onion and cabbage.

This meal is definitely not on the Paleo diet, but it is full of nutrients, proteins and healthy fats.

Ingredients:

2 torillas

6 oz Fresh Wahoo or Mahi

2 tbsp Guacamole

2 tbsp sour cream

1/4 cup shredded cabbage

1/8 cup shredded cheddar

1/8 cup fresh salsa

fresh cilantro, chopped jalapenos

 

grilled wahoo  Start by seasoning your wahoo to taste, I love a good blackened fish taco.  Slap your fillets on the grill and take the time to chop up your fresh veggies.

chopped veggies Set your veggies aside and head over to the grill to check your wahoo fillets.

Take your fillets off, be sure not to overcook! Nothing ruins a great fish taco like a dried out piece of fish.  As you remove your fish fillets, warm your tortillas on the cooling grill.

Chop your fillets up, pull your tortillas off the grill and BUILD YOUR MASTERPIECE!

IMG_1365

Avocado & Spinach Scrambler with Goat Cheese

There is nothing I like better than starting the day with a muscle fuel protein rich meal that does leave me feeling guilty and bloated.

This quick, nutritious, power breakfast is one of my go to recharges after a big workout.  This is a good Paleo breakfast option but everyone will love it. In addition, it will provide 611 Calories, 49g of healthy fats, 31g of protein and only 17g of carbs helping you replenish your spent fuel and give you the protein and fats to help you build for your next battle with the barbell!

Ingredients:

2 Organic Cage Free Eggs

1 Whole Avocado

2 cups fresh organic baby spinach

1/4 cup chopped onions

1/4 cup goat cheese

(Optional: 2 whole wheat tortilla shells)

1 Tbsp oil of choice, I use organic coconut oil

 

Heat the oil in a small skillet, add onions.  Cook onions to your taste, I like them slightly browned but not caramelized.

Mix in 2 eggs, and mix gently.  I don’t fully scramble the eggs, i just mixed them until the yokes and whites are partially blended.  Cook until the eggs are firm.

While the eggs and onions are cooking, cube the whole avocado.  Add the avocado, mix gently, after 2 minutes add the spinach.

Remove from the heat before the spinach is fully wilted.

Serve avocado spinach scrambler in a shallow bowl, add goat cheese to the top of the scrambler and enjoy.

(As an optional carb heavy non-paleo treat you can add a couple of whole wheat tortillas for a delicious, nutritious artisan breakfast wrap.)

Beef and Broccoli Paleo Stir Fry – Beef Paleo

paleo-beef-and-broccoli-stir-fry

Although I do my best to stick to a Paleo based diet, I am not a big beef eater.  I have nothing against beef, it is just not my Paleo protein of choice.  But, I found this beef and broccoli paleo stir fry recipe on “DietingRevisited.com” and I just had to try it!  I love stir fry, it is so easy and quick…not to mention delicious.  When done right, stir fried beef and broccoli should be a staple paleo menu item for everyone. Garlic and onions to give it the savory flavor I love and just a little cayenne pepper for that extra kick.

Start with the Marinade:

Ingredients:

Quarter cup lemon juice
Half cup olive or coconut oil (I prefer coconut)
Quarter cup crushed garlic
Quarter cup chopped sweet onion
Half tsp powdered ginger
Eighth tsp cayenne pepper
(optional: )Dash cinnamon

Directions:

Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan. Stir in spices and lemon juice. Make sure it is thoroughly heated and then pour into a Pyrex baking dish. Mix in your beef and refrigerate 6-8 hours.

Stir Fry:

Ingredients:

1 to 1 1/2 lbs. grass-fed pastured beef (Organic sirloin preferred)
1 head fresh organic broccoli, cut small
3 tbsp minced ginger and garlic
1-2 Organic parsnips, peeled, sliced thin
1 cup sliced sweet or chopped organic green onion
8 oz. Organic baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
Cilantro, a few sprigs, cut fine
1/2 cup olive or coconut oil

(for extra credit, grow all the veggies in your own garden)

How to Prepare:

Cut meat into strips. Heat the oil and brown the meat. Add all other ingredients and cook on high, stirring constantly until tender. Serve over coconut flour noodles or the old reliable “cauliflower rice”.

Trust me on this, anything left over is great as a snack the next day…even cold!
