Ryan and I are excited to be starting the transition portion of our program this week. This means we will be gradually increasing our calorie intake, and infusing some different types of foods such as fruit, dairy, and whole grains back into our diet. This process is what separates Take Shape for Life from any other weight loss plan out there :) You get to a healthy weight, and your given the skills and knowledge to maintain your optimal health!
We're only a week away from Easter and we've got an "egg-celent" egg and broccoli lean and green recipe for everybody. With all of the tempting treats that tend to show up this time of year, we use the stop-challenge-choose method to steer clear of foods we don't want going in our bodies. If you are unfamiliar with this method, ask me about it! I'd be happy to share it with you.
Broccoli Bake
6 cups of broccoli
4 cups of egg beaters
8 oz of low fat mozzarella cheese (3-6 g of fat per ounce)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor (or blender) add broccoli, egg beaters and cheese. Puree. Spray 2 quart casserole dish with non-stick spray. Pour in mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
This recipe makes 4 servings. Each serving is 3 green servings and 1 lean serving.

Ryan and I attended a good friend of ours' 30th birthday party this weekend, and it was a great reminder to us that for some reason being healthy is so often viewed as a product of youth, and its a given that it will rapidly decline as we get older. That couldn't be further from the truth!!! No matter what your age is, you attain optimal health. Make today the day you choose to get healthy! Get in touch with us, and we will help you do what it takes to get you there!!!
Happy Easter!
Ryan and Ashley
