3 Light Dinners for Heavy Days

  Source of the article: http://bit.ly/1GO1qBS After a long workday, you may come home so tired that making dinner feels impossible, or perhaps your breakfast and lunch were very light, leaving you ravenous by dinner time. No matter the case, remember that at night our body burns very few calories, and metabolism slows down, so we don't need very light meals. Nutritionist Sonia Ruenes offers us three easy recipes to turn our dinners into a delicious and healthy option: 1) Nopal Huarache: • Roast two nopales. • Spread refried or black beans (not refried) over them. • Add 100 g, a large handful or a cup of shredded chicken or crumbled fresh cheese. • Add three thin slices of avocado. • Add vegetables to taste, such as lettuce, onion, and tomato. 2) Tuna Lettuce Tacos: • Chop tomato and onion. • Use a can of tuna in water and mix with the vegetables. • Add lemon, vinegar, and a teaspoon of olive oil to the mixture. • Place the mixture on romaine lettuce leaves like tortillas. • It is recommended to accompany with a bit of cooked or steamed white rice. 3) Eggplant Pizzas: • Boil an eggplant in saltwater. • Cut the eggplant into slices. • Grill the slices for a few minutes on a grill with a little vegetable oil. • Place Oaxaca cheese slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves on top of the slices. This can be done while the eggplant continues to grill or afterward in the microwave for less than a minute. If you develop the good habit of having light dinners, your body will thank you. Your sleep will be restorative, you will produce hormones that delay aging, and you will have enough energy to recover from a tiring day, as well as enough energy to face a new day.
