Jennifer DiDonato: Hi! Welcome to Made Fit TV. I’m your host Jennifer DiDonato and this is episode number 43. MadeFitTV is everyone's source for health and fitness information and entertainment, so I’m really glad to join us because I’m sure you can learn a lot today as any other day.
I’m want to thank you all, again, for watching my live stream on my show and hoping its under out there if you are watching that I not look as sickly as I did hat day email me as like Jen you are looking great but you are looking ill, I was very pleaded so I feel better now so thanks much for watching. So speak healthy and speak eating; today, we are in the kitchen, we’re doing some recipes and I’m going to show you couple recipes that are really quick you can prepare them even before you know on the weekend bringing to work with you so its all good, so today its going to be healthy tuna salad recipe and then real quick I’m going to show you a healthy vegetable dip to that will not carry’s out in your diet and then also may be encourage you to eat those raw vegetables, so lets get started.
First we are going to start with some tuna, you can just scrub any type of tuna I forget my tuna can that’s all right because why are going to do as you can drain it and then you are just going to put some water under water few times drained out with a legs, I want to drain all their extra sodium on there so lets already did last night and we are going to turn this actually real quick into this, this is what looks like after words so I’m going to show you really nice, easy way to make this.
So we got our tuna drained. Right now I have about half a cup right here and but what I want to do now actually I’m sorry this is a full cup what you can do, as you can actually mix a full cup and but each serving is going to be half cups so right now this is going to be two servings so we are starting with one cup. So like I said we’re going to be using that fat-free cream cheese, this you can use thread less fat I’m trying to make this possible fat-free cream cheese.
Now because this is one cup that we are doing, I’m going to put in two tablespoons, this is the half tablespoon right now, as I can find my tablespoon, spoon so I’m using this one, so we are going to put in two tablespoons fat-free cream cheese. Now as I our -- there I’m also going to put in one tablespoon of mustard. As you know mustard is virtually this noting in it mustard alining to me but there no calories, there is kind of lot of sodium in it so just kindly wash your portions little bit. Alright, so we are going to put one tablespoon of the mustard in there, so see how its going to loosening out, see its consistency that you are getting without.
Now the fun part, we are going to do now is we can add some vegetables in it. Adding an vegetables you know anyway you can is just going to increase your vegetable intake the day because lets face it who has time to eat their vegetables so this way you’re making time so this is just on an English cucumber, minimal seeds this is why I picked it because we are going on any seeds you have on the cucumber you can take out.
So I would say about two ounces of cucumber in this recipe more less that all depends on how much you want to put in there, how much you love vegetables because I know you do, okay so just kindly take off the seed portion right there, I can grab it and not a huge fan celery hate onions and not huge fan of standard peppers, yeah peppers and onions.
I’m Italian my parents were like where did you come from? What Italian in this world is not like peppers and onions well. This one right here, I‘m sorry so we just going to throw that in like I said add more to I highly encourage it, okay now to give it a little bit of color since I don’t like peppers let’s throwing some carrots. I find at the grocery store, you know its like perfect there are washed, they already cut and these are perfect to put something like this because you don’t want to sit there and have to slice and cut up all of those big carrots that you got going.
So I am just taking about an ounce you don’t need too much and just chop it out, okay like a little bit color going I’m like it. See look at this, okay so already take all this took as like five minutes and you have done. Dill we are going to popping some dill right here this is gives a little bit of flavor if you like that dill flavor okay sprinkle that in right there and of course if you want to like I said the mustard already has lot of salts in it we can just put a little bit of salt to taste and a little bit of pepper, so we have it all mixing right now put a salt or pepper in like I said this is one cup this serving right here is one cup so half cup for you, half cup you to share with someone else.
One serving which is a half a cup like I said is a 145 calories only one gram of fat no carobs and 28 grams of protein guys, so this is a very hurry meal or meal replacement you can even have it with whole grain bread or just have a long put it in a little, talk everything great work put it on cool bag you could go and you can even make more then one serving over the weekends you can have a ready for you at work.
Now another awesome I like to substitute lot of things with the fat-free cream cheese. The other one is veggie dip because I’m want to eat more vegetables when you are hosting a party everyone over and everyone just going divine into it so we are going to use the fat-free cream cheese, we are going to use eight ounces you can mix it with half arrange pack so now we got go forward actually I know this sometimes can be little boring just watch me important so here we have eight ounces right here of the fat-free cream cheese and we got a half packed of the -- in there and I know its look in joltiness right now so what we’re going to do is take whisk and just kind of smash it all up.
So there you go guys, so we have the vegetable dip right here and you can just put it in bowls stick it out there it will stay creamy throughout the day. Although you want to keep it for whole day make it only nasty so I’m going to try them its great to have a cucumbers is already washed and here we go see.
