If you’ve been following my blog you would know i’ve been on the South Beach diet.
I got really tired of the crustless quiches for breakfast so i decided to try something different.

I know i love egg salad so i put this together, it turned out really delicious.

Curried Egg Salad and Baby Arugula Leaves

Ingredients:

• a few dashes of curry powder
• 4 eggs (1 yolk and 4 whites for lower cholesterol option)
• handful of baby arugula leaves
• 1/2 TB honey djion mustard
• 1 TB vegenaise
• white pepper

Method:

• boil eggs, when cooked, shell the eggs and remove yolks from 3 of the eggs
• mesh eggs with all ingredients except arugula leaves while egg is still warm
• mix everything with the leaves and you’re done.

I’m such a snacker. Since i’ve been on this diet I’ve had to eat more in between meal snacks. I wanted to share with you three of my favorites that i actually keep around me at home and at work.
I am blessed to work next to Whole Foods which helps but you should be able to get these or a similar product at any grocery store.

L-R:
Extreme dark chocolate. It isn’t sugar free but it has very low sugar and carb content. It comes in small pieces individually wrapped so i get to treat myself to one a day if i have a sweet craving.

Dry roasted cashews. Ah…those are life savers..they are naturally a bit sweet and you’re allowed 14 pieces a day for Phase one. To extend the amount of time i can enjoy them I actually split them in half then just nibble on them as i work.

Oikos greek (plain) yogurt. Thanks to bro for recommending this. An absolute must for me now when i’m extra hungry. I think Phase one doesn’t allow for yogurt but i’ve been eating these since day one of the diet and it hasn’t caused any problems. This is a great snack and gets me full so i dont feel like i need more food.

Enjoy!
