Broccoli Dip & Tilapia Filed under ( appetizer, Healthy, Seafood, Vegetables )

It has been a busy Wednesday over here! I started my day out with 1.8 miles on the treadmill and then I took Body Pump. I had the usual work, a doctors appointment, and then I ran tons of errands (WFs for fruits/veggies, bank, pet supply store, FedEx, dry cleaners, pharmacy).

When I got home, I prepped a part of dinner. I saw this recipe for Fiesta Broccoli Dip on KERF and knew I wanted to try something similar! I love guacamole but Josh is not an avocado fan, so I made two versions

Josh’s Mix

Blend:
1 cup steamed broccoli
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ tablespoon hot sauce
A few snippets of fresh cilantro

Mix in (once blended):
½ cup corn
1 tablespoons pinto beans

My Mix

Blend:
1/8 of a slimcado
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ tablespoon hot sauce
1 cup steamed broccoli
1 tablespoon salsa
A few snippets of fresh cilantro

Mix in (once blended):
2 tablespoons on pinto beans

Once the broccoli dips were prepped, I headed out to take Body Combat. According to the Les Mills website, Body Combat is a “fiercely energetic program is inspired by martial arts and draws from a wide array of disciplines such as Karate, boxing, Taekwondo, Tai Chi and Muay Thai.” I wasn’t really in the mood for a workout (since I had already hit up pump in the am), but we were having a demo of Body Combat at our gym (we currently do not have any Combat classes) and my new friend Gina was doing the demo so I had to show my support!! The class was awesome and I was totally exhausted and ready for din din when I got home.

I ate my broccoli mix with tons of veggies and a few tortilla chips(not shown). I also ate a ginormous bowl of fruit and a little tortilla crusted tilapia (see recipe below).

Josh had his mix with tortilla chips, a side of banana (that’s for you Ricky ;)), and tortilla crusted Tilapia. For the tilapia, I followed Lauren’s recipe from the awesome blog Say What You Need To Say.

Tortilla Chip Crusted Tilapia

Ingredients:
Tilapia fillets
Egg whites (2 egg whites or 1/3 cup egg whites in a box)
1 tsp chili powder
Salt & pepper
½ tsp cumin
Tortilla chips crumbled (colorful chips would look much prettier but I only had plain)

Directions:
Mix egg whites, chili powder, desired quantities of salt & pepper & cumin. Dunk tilapia fillets in egg whites and the coat with tortilla chips. Bake the fish in a 400* oven for 15 min.

Phew! I feel just about ready for bed ;)
