South Beach Diet Phase 1 Recipes
Phase 1 Mayonnaise
We can’t have mayonnaise during phase 1 and this is something that I have really missed. However, we can create our own mayonnaise that we can use in other South Beach Phase One meals. This is a great alternative if you don’t even like mayonnaise.
Ingredients:
2 cups light olive oil
2 eggs
2 small lemons
salt & water
Separate the yolk from the rest of the egg. With just the egg yolk in a bowl, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon while whisking the yolk. This can be done by hand or you can use a food processor. Slowly add the olive oil as you are whisk or pour it through the lid if you are processing. You can add a little water if it starts to look to heavy or if it is getting too thick. Add the water a little bit at a time until it is the thickness of mayo. You can store your homemade mayonnaise in the fridge, in fact it should be chilled before you use it. It will taste much better.
Vegetable Quiche Cups
This is a great South Beach diet phase 1 snack.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped spinach
4 eggs
2/3 cup green pepper chopped
2/3 cup onion chopped
2 slices 2% milk cheese
In a saucepan with water, cook the spinach just until it is heated up. Use a muffin pan with cupcake cups in it. Combine the eggs, peppers, onion, spinach and 1 slice of the cheese. Pour equal portions into each cup. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown. It is much easier to make a whole bunch at a time and then refrigerate them in baggies. You can take portions to work and eat them for breakfast or an afternoon snack. These are so delicious that I strongly urge you to try making these!
Smoky Roasted Vegetables
This oven roasted vegetable recipe is very good with the smoky flavoring. This is a good lunch or dinner meal.
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini
2 medium summer squash
2 medium red and yellow bell pepper
2 lbs fresh asparagus
1 red onion
4 tbsp olive oil
Smoke flavoring
Salt & pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Chop the vegetables into bite sized pieces. Put all the vegetables in a roasting pan. Toss in the oil, smoke flavoring, salt and pepper. Roast for about 30 minutes or until the veggies are brown.
