in a small saucepan on low heat add berries, stevia and cinnamon. cook on low heat stirring occasionally for 5-8 min.

Dinner:

Sheet Pan Dinner… That’s right, protein and sides made entirely on one baking pan!

First, preheat that oven to 375 degrees!

Get your base going

Chop 1/2 cup onions and 2-3 garlic gloves.

Next, choose your veggies! 

For Matt we chose sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and asparagus but, the possibilities are endless!

Pick your protein!

Choose from the below.

  • 6 oz chicken breast
  • 6 oz salmon
  • 6 oz white fish
  • 6 oz shrimp
  • 1/2 cup beans (chick pea, pinto, black, kidney)

Toss all together with… 2 tbsp olive oil & pinch of salt. 

Bake for 20-40 minutes, depending on the protein you choose.
