Description

This vibrant collection of recipes transforms classic Mexican dishes into high-protein, low-calorie meals that help you easily lose weight without sacrificing on flavor. Health coach and food blogger Jaimee Raquel Partida includes macro counts for each recipe in the book, and shows you how to track them for your goals, so you can usher in a healthier diet and lifestyle without stress. And with each dish being quick to cook, easy to prep and simple to portion out for the week ahead, getting started and seeing results has never been easier. Jaimee's recipes are inspired by the foods of her childhood, and are bursting with authentic, delicious flavors. Prep proteins you'll love with Pollo y Nopales en Salsa Roja (Chicken and Nopales in Red Sauce), Pozole Verde (Green Pozole) and Camarones a la Diabla (Spicy Mexican Shrimp). Enjoy lighter street food staples like Tacos de Birria (Birria Tacos), Tostadas de Tinga (Chicken Tinga Tostadas) and Esquite (Corn Salad). Satisfy your sweet tooth the natural way with Protein Fresas Con Crema (Strawberries and Cream) and Horchata de Avena (Oatmeal Horchata). You'll be amazed by Jaimee's nifty hacks for turning traditional foods into modern, nutrient-dense ingredients, like swapping nopales (cactus) as a side instead of rice.
