Flavorful Quick Healthy Snacks
If you follow any of my programs, you know that I’m a big fan of “eating when you’re hungry.” Don’t get me wrong, if you follow my 7 Day JumpStart or Stronger Program, I provide you menu samples for three meals a day, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to snack. It’s what you snack on that makes the difference. I started posting blogs with healthy snack ideas and they have been so popular, I decided to keep sharing them with you!
Snack #1 – Portobello Pizza
Ingredients:
4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
1 tomato, seeded and diced
2 tbsp goat cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Slightly oil the bottom of a baking sheet, or you can line it and then oil so mushroom don’t stick.
In a blender, puree the tomato until it has consistency of tomato sauce.
Place portobellos on cooking sheet with cup side facing up. Fill each mushroom with sauce then sprinkle the goat cheese on top.
Bake for 25 minutes.

2 large tomatoes
2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese
