What has omega 3s, is a good source of protein, boosts metabolism, and helps with weight loss? Well, if you couldn’t tell from the headline you better start fishing around for an answer! I’m going to give you the scoop on my go to, had a long day, need a quick bite, perfect for after the gym meal I made last night.

So here’s the backstory. I live in Nashville, and my friends and I decided to go to this amazing Barre class in the city. If you live in Nashville you know about the traffic. It doesn’t take a sick day and my mind seemed to think it would take a day when I schedule this class. Okay, so Barre class is over around 6:45- we’re feeling those tight muscles contracting even as we stand there; I’m personally thinking what’s in my fridge to eat? We leave, and we are in traffic for an entire 48 minutes. We live about 8 miles away. I was hangry but little did I know that in desperate times, I had a photographic memory and thought of what my meal was going to be once I got home sweet home. Okay, not really it’s my reintroduction week for Whole30, so I already had the groceries and meals planned but nothing was cooked just yet *lets out dramatic scream.*

I get home and literally get straight to business and when I say this meal took 20 minutes I mean prep time and cook time. I could not have been any happier. To be able to make yourself a quick, healthy, delicious meal that makes you feel good is so satisfying. Especially when it would have been so easy to just stop somewhere and grab a bite. This is really a really simple, light dish that anyone would love and anyone can make!
