{prepping a volumetrics recipe- lots of veggies!} |
We've been trying to eat healthier here at home, and have been using a lot of recipes from Dr. Barbara Roll's "The Volumetrics Eating Plan". It focuses on food with low energy density - or low calories per gram. Lots and lots of vegetables and whole grains!
So far we've loved the Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, Chicken and Avocado Pita Pockets, and Bulgur & Vegetable Stuffed Peppers. Husband requested the Buffalo Chicken Wraps for Father's Day. He loved them, but as I'm not such a fan of hot sauce and blue cheese dressing so not a hit for me!
Have you ever tried Volumetrics recipes? And I wish I could say our kids loved these meals, but they for the most part don't.

ReplyDeleteThis photo looks so amazing - I love veges but for the most part with olive oil on them and roasted. My husband is total health nut but so have forwarded this to him....
ReplyDeleteI went on a 3 week clense a few months ago and have never felt better! My hubby wants healthier eating around here too! We do not do a ton of sugar or white bread but pizza gets me every time! I love cheese! I am off to check out the 'Volumetrics eating plan' now. Happy Wednesday... -Ann
ReplyDelete(btw- did you ever get the pics. of my house?)
Ann- I did get the pics of your house! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI adore pizza, too - we made the "Aristotle Pizza" from the Volumetrics Eating Plan and it was really good! Of course, we made a second traditional pizza for the kids that night!
