Week 58 On Nutrisystem! Here Are Some Yummy Recipes! #NSNation

Week 58 on Nutrisystem! With all this extreme heat, it's been hard to get motivated to work out but I've been doing it regardless! Thankfully when I don't feel like doing a full work out, I can fall back on Nutrisystem's My Daily 3, which are workouts to get you active for at least 30 minutes each day. You could do it all at once or spread them out over shorter sessions (10 or 15 minutes at a time). I love that I get to choose from a variety workouts and when I am super lazy, I can do 3 10 minute workouts and it doesn't seem that bad! 

 

Be realistic—gradually increase the amount and intensity of activity to avoid injury or burnout

Plan ahead—schedule it in your calendar as a firm reminder

Find a buddy—it'll make fitness more fun and you more accountable

Enjoy yourself—find activities that appeal to you; exercise can and should be enjoyable

Mix it up—try new activities to keep it fresh and motivating

Break it up—get 10 minutes of activity in whenever you can

 

So, I came across a lunch meal that had from a little while ago that had fallen behind a bunch of stuff in my cabinet and forgot how much I loved it! The Cheese Tortellini is amazing! Really! And you would think that because the portion looks small, that it wouldn't fill you up, but it does! 

 

An awesome meal that I actually found on the Nutrisystem community recipe board was the Chicken and Brown Rice Stir-Fry! The recipe is super easy and fills you up and is yummy! 

Ingredients

1 Nutrisystem® Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup onion, sliced
1/2 cup red and yellow sweet peppers, sliced
1 cup baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
Cooking Spray

Directions

1. Spray pan lightly with cooking spray. Saute onions, peppers and mushrooms until tender. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

2. Add cooked brown rice and soy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

3. Heat Nutrisystem® Grilled Chicken Breast and slice into bite-sized pieces.

4. Place rice and vegetables on a plate and top with chicken.

Note: The brown rice replaces the roll that is normally served with this entree.

You can see how easy it is to make and I'm sure you are drooling! I know I am and will probably have this for dinner! Sometimes, the meals that I make for my self are better then the ones I make for my family. But I found that a lot of the recipes on the Nutrisystem recipe center can actually be used for the whole family! Easy and keeps me on track!

 

Of course, I am always looking for new ideas for the proteins shakes and I found one that probably has to be the best ever! I also found this one on the recipe center! It's called Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake! The recipe goes as followed: 

Ingredients

1 Nutrisystem® Smooth Vanilla Protein Shake
3/4 cup butternut squash
Cinnamon and nutmeg, to taste

Directions

1. Boil the butternut squash till tender, then puree in a blender. Freeze in ice cube trays.

2. Make the Smooth Vanilla Protein Shake as directed, using the frozen butternut squash in place of ice cubes.

3. Add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Enjoy!

I love this recipe because I am a HUGE fan of pumpkin pie. I am not, however, a fan of butternut squash so I didn't think I would like it, but I do! I love it! It is super yummy! Definitely a must-try! 

 

If you are looking to change up your meals, definitely check out the recipe center. You would be surprised at how many amazing recipes you will find. And most of them (the ones that I have tried) are delicious!
