For a busy girl (who LOVES to eat) or anyone for that matter, finding time to make something quick and having it actually be good for you never seems to work out. I’ve never been one of those health freaks, nor even a health-conscious person. Thanks to growing up in an Italian family, I rarely know what the hell is even in what I eat. Unfortunately, my Nana made me only appreciate flavorful food, whether it clogs your arteries or not.
Little did I know, my favorite meal in the world happens to contain many stress relieving ingredients and it’s pretty good for you!!!
BROCCOLI AND SHRIMP ALFREDO!
8 oz. fettuccine noodles (carbs in your meal helps the release of insulin)
1-2 cups of shrimp (shrimp contains tryptophan and selenium to help you stay cool, and the cholesterol in shrimp is actually good for you!)
1 bunch of broccoli, cut up (broccoli contains potassium and helps strengthen your immune system)
In your Alfredo sauce, add:
1 cup of milk (helps you to relax, but also makes you sleep more soundly)
1 cup basil and spinach (both help to relax your muscles, blood vessels and nerves)
Also add some garlic, parsley and pepper for taste ... I have no clue if you’ll get any nutritional value out of these ingredients, but us Italians add these to everything!
You’re welcome in advance ;)
