Mission Nutrition: ideas to eat healthy in the Summer

July 8, 2015 by LA Cooquette | Leave a Comment

Hello people!

Let me tell you about my latest batch of tasty videos which I shot for Mitú Network for their campaign #mituFIT.  They are part of my show Mission Nutrition, which, as you can guess is pretty self-explanatory.  Yes, I have indulged in the past with overly succulent recipes (bacon chocolate fudge, anyone?), so the challenge here was to come up with a series of recipes that would be utterly delicious and filling and still manage to be on the healthy side!

So here they go:

Cauliflower waffles:  Yes, my friends.  The trendy cauliflower rice can be transformed into many different delicious concoctions.  Including waffles.  Check out the Mission Nutrition recipe here and the extended recipe on this link.

Ovenlettes:  that is the name that I use to refer to these mini-bites of protein and morning yumminess.  Using a cupcake tray, you can easily make mini-omelettes filled with your favorite ingredients.  As you will see in the video, they are easy to store and they keep well for several days!!

Ceviche Cooquette:  I love ceviche, I love how there are endless varieties of it, and I particularly love the fact that this enables you you come up with your own ceviche recipe!  That’s exactly what I did! Mango, melon, bell pepper, mint, shrimp… these are a few of my favorite things!!  And so in they go…  In a melon serving bowl!  I dare you to find a recipe that is as healthy, fresh and colorful as this one!

Chicken Chimichurri skewers:  This is a must for BBQ season!  Why not make them with un unusual but equally scrumptious substitute for french fries?  Introducing:  Zucchini fries!!  The rich and flavorful chimichurri is a staple sauce in Argentina, where is it enjoyed and revered by millions.  And that makes perfect sense, because it tastes simply amazing!

Pineapple desserts:  Grill it, glaze it, coat it, put faux ice-cream on it…  You can do all these things to pineapple! It’s up to you to decide how you like it best.  So in this video I will teach you three ways to cook it in order to make an unusual and tasty summer treat.

And while we are on the subject of pineapples, don’t forget to watch these helpful videos on how to pick a pineapple, how to make a delicious pineapple infusion, and how to plant your own pineapple at home!
