It's 2015 and most of us are welcoming the new year with resolutions to eat healthy, be fit, and lose the weight gained from the holidays.
Here are some of the healthy food I prepared for myself posted on Instagram.

For a quick breakfast, scrambled eggs, grape tomatoes, and puffed brown rice cake with hummus

For lunch, I thought a vegetarian lettuce wrap would be great. I love those duck lettuce wraps with hoisin sauce that I get from Chinese restaurants. I looked for a vegetarian version of it that uses tofu, mushroom and brown rice.

I did a simplified version of the recipe

For dinner, I have been making salads like this Moroccan chickpea and carrot salad and Southwestern black bean salad. I found that they are very filling and satisying.

For a snack or dessert, I was really craving for ice cream. Instead I blended some frozen blueberries in greek yogurt with no added sugar.

I'm hoping the rest of the year would bring more ideas for healthy meals.
