Cinch! Meals

The foundation of Cinch! is a five-piece puzzle. Each meal is constructed from five pieces:

1. Produce
2. A whole grain
3. Lean protien
4. Plant-based fat
5. Slimming and Satiating Seasonings


Breakfast Ideas:

Zesty Cranberry Walnut Parfait

1/4 cup dried cranberries sweetened with fruit juice
1/4 cup whole oats
3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 TBSP chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp of orange zest

Stir the zest into the yogurt and layer food in a dish

Raspberry Brazil Nut Pita

1 cup raspberries
1/2 whole grain pita
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese
2 TBSP chopped brazil nuts
Pinch of nutmeg
mix nutmeg, berries and nuts into cottage cheese and fill pita with mixture.

Berry Almond French Toast

1 cup raspberries
1 slice whole-grain bread
3 egg whites
2 TBSP silvered Almonds
Dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves

Soak bread in eggs. Spray pan with pam, but bread in pan and pour remaining egg over the top. Cook until golden brown, place on plate and sprinkle spices on and top with berries and almonds.

These are some of the breakfast meals. I will post some more soon along with snack and dinner meals.

As you can see they sound yummy and are easy to make for yourself and your family. Plus your family won't even realize how good they are eating.
