If you want quick and healthy meals to cut down on food costs and eat healthy, check out these two delicious recipes. They are perfect for those on the go and you will feel good about eating.

Savory Tahini Sauce Recipe

If you have never tried tahini I strongly recommend that you do especially if you are a fan of sesame seeds. It is such a great dip for snacks that you can whip up in no time! Not only does it serve as a great dip for snacks, it is also a popular topping for meat and vegetables in the Middle Eastern Cuisine. It is a wonderful addition to your recipe collection while improving your health and weight.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients:

1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tamari or 1 tablespoon of liquid aminos
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
pinch of cayenne (to your taste)

Directions:

1. In a bowl briskly whisk together the tahini and water until combined. It will look separated at first: just keep whisking!
2. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until combined.
3. Adjust flavors to your taste. Add additional water if you want it thinner.
4. Serve over grains and greens.
Note: Tahini sauce keeps refrigerated for up to one week.

Avocado Dip Recipe Full of Nutrition 

In the Southwestern cuisine, guacamole is used as a cocktail dip, or one of the toppings and/or fillings of enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, or burritos. It is also wonderful as a cold sauce for grilled meats or fish. There are so many versions of this wonderful dip for snacks, so just experiment!

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Yield: 1 cup

1 large peeled and pitted avocado
2/3 cup plain yogurt, goat yogurt or soy yogurt

Ellie Savoy is a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach and the author of the #1 international best selling book “Stop Dieting Start Living: 5 Foundations for Your Health to Permanently Lose Weight Without Dieting Starvation or Suffering in Silence”. She is also the founder of the Stop Dieting Start Living Weight Loss System. Her commonsense and step by step approach has literally transformed the way people look at their body, health and life. She spent over two decades under a great deal of stress. She lost sight of the importance of her health time and time again; gaining weight and yo-yo dieting to take care of it, skipping meals during the day, eating too late at night, and letting work dictate how all of her time was spent. Many people need a trigger for change in life and the first trigger for her was her mother’s passing in 2008. Then just 21 months later her father passed away. Not only was this a ton of grief to process, but it started her on a deeper exploration of what is really important in this life. The saying “you can’t take it with you when you die” really hit home. She had been living with so much stress striving for more and more losing sight of herself and her health. The final trigger was in 2011 when she was diagnosed with two uterine fibroids. The four options she was given were actually not options for her! Three involved surgery and the other one was to do nothing. This scared her into understanding what she needed to do to naturally heal her body and permanently end the yo-yo dieting dilemma. This was when she really embraced making healthy permanent lifestyle changes. Since then she has been enjoying living a diet free and healthy life, without aches and pains, medications and a bunch of rules! She hasn’t looked back since. Ellie’s approach is not just for yo-yo dieters or those wanting to lose weight – it’s for everyone who is concerned about what their future looks like and wants to take control of their health. She has helped women with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid imbalance, irritable bowel syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and a host of other symptoms. Ellie helps you to show up in your own life, stop making excuses, shift your mindset, have a plan and connect with the passion in your belly to live your best life. It’s a lot of fun!
