by admin on September 16, 2009

You might be thinking that abs diet recipes are “skimpy,” “tasteless,” or “BORING!” They’re really not. It really depends on what ingredients you use when you cook your dishes.

Think about it…who wouldn’t be bored of broccoli if they’re ALL you use? Step out of your comfort zone and experiment a little. A little variety can actually add excitement to any diet, and a low fat, high protein one is just the thing to get six pack abs.

Take a load of these 2 fast and easy abs diet recipes that are sure to help you get in shape AND tickle your cravings:

1. Tofu and Mushroom Slaw

Soy products, such as tofu, have high protein content. Including tofu in your diet not only provides you with an alternative to your usual protein sources (e.g. chicken, pork, beef), but it is also great for building lean muscle. This Asian-inspired dish will surely satisfy your appetite:

INGREDIENTS:

6 oz. firm tofu, drained and diced

1 cup shiitake mushroom, sliced

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ clove garlic, minced

2 cups Napa cabbage, lightly shredded

1 cup bok choy, lightly shredded

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

PREPARATION:

1. Mix soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl. Pour diced tofu in gently and set aside to marinade for about 10 minutes.

2. Place your shredded greens in a serving bowl.

3. Drain the tofu and set aside the marinade. In a skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil and sesame oil, then add in your mushrooms, stirring occasionally. After a couple of minutes, add the tofu and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

4. Right before serving, add the marinade into the pan and stir until it slightly warms up. Pour the heated mixture over your salad and toss gently.

Who knew that lentils are also loaded with protein? Take note that green lentils cook faster, so if you’re in a hurry yet still crave for a tasty meal at home, this one’s a keeper. The best part about cooking is that you can add on to the ingredients as you go along.

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

6 oz. chicken breast, diced

½ cup lentils

1 carrot, peeled and diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 medium can low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup spinach

your choice of herbs, chopped
