Weddings, birthday parties and the 4th of July holiday. Not a good time to diet (or even eat healthy!)
After a week of gluttony I am hopping (back) on the Tone It Up slim down wagon. This time with the "Beach Babe" 5 day slim down. The Beach Babe is a Hawaiian inspired version of the regular Tone It Up nutrition plan full of tropical fruit, lean protein and coconut (oil/water/milk.) Much like the traditional 7 day slim down the 5 day encourages members to avoid grains/starches, exercise twice a day and stay hydrated. Easy to do when the recommended food and drink is so delicious. And who wouldn't want to start the day off with a dip in the pool when it's already 70 degrees outside?
I'll admit, the plan does require quite a bit of prep work (thanks to all those fresh ingredients) But here is a Beach Babe inspired recipe that may also be the easy thing you'll ever cook.
Ingredients:
2 Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 12 oz jar Pineapple Salsa (Trader Joe's)
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen Mango chunks
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place chicken breasts in baking dish, cover with salsa and top with mango chunks. Lightly drape with aluminum foil
Bake for 30 - 40 mins or until chicken is done and juices run clear.
If you don't live near a Trader Joe's (or you forget the salsa like I did) you can make your own with other ingredients from the Beach Babe 5 Day:
1 cup finely chooped fresh pineapple
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 Tbs jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 tsp cumin
