Snack and Pre-workout
Berries are one of the healthiest fruits. During contest prep, I reduce my fruit intake, but for 90% of the year, I enjoy it. There’s nothing like blueberries in yogurt masked as blueberry cheesecake. Divine! This is exactly the kind of treat I crave during the lull of the day. It curbs my sweet tooth and gives me a healthy dose of quick-digesting carbs and protein to help me make it to dinner. It’s also a winner when used as a pre-workout meal for those late-afternoon workout sessions.
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
• 1 cup nonfat Voskos Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• stevia or other sweetener to taste
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tbsp fat-free, sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix
Directions:
Using a blender mix everything in a small bowl and serve.
Nutrition Facts (per serving): 187 calories, 0g fat, 19g carbs, 24g protein

Feel the Burn-Hot Sauce
Looking to boost fat burning, increase metabolic rate and decrease hunger? Try this!
If you’re a regular HERS reader, you most likely know that hot peppers, like chilli peppers, can boost fat burning, increase metabolic rate and even decrease hunger. This is due to the natural chemical they contain, capsaicin. The latest study, from Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana), shows that when normal-weight subjects consumed a meal containing about ½ teaspoon of red pepper, they burned more total calories and more fat, and also had less hunger than when they ate the same meal without the added pepper.
TRY THIS: If you can handle it, try to spice up your meals by adding ½ teaspoon of red pepper. If you can’t stand the heat, look for supplements that contain the ingredient capsaicin.
Lydia's Hot Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
6-8 Jalapenos
2 Roman tomatoes
1 clove of garlic chopped up
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 can of tomato sauce
Boil your tomatoes and peppers until you can poke a fork through them. Then, pull stem off the jalapenos and dump all ingredients in a blender and blend together. DONE! It's that easy, enjoy! (depending on the peppers, it may come out hot or mild. You can always add more tomato sauce to make it milder.)
The standard green juice good for lunch (kale, cucumber, celery, green apples, lemon, ginger), other favorites are carrot/red apple, and blueberry/purple grapes. Happy juicing!
