Protein is suppose to be good when you're slimming down, right? It's better than scarfing down bagels and cream cheese :) I was meal prepping and since Mom's got gobs of it, I've been eating my fair share of Tuna. I like to eat it but every time I do I feel like I'm one of those gym junkies who is bulking up on my whey powder shake, living at the gym, lifting weights to the extreme and setting my alarm for 2 am just so I can eat a can of tuna for protein. I don't know where I got this mental image from but it's mainly what I think about every time I crack open a can of albacore. Maybe it's wishful thinking that eating tuna will give me muscles. I like to eat it with more than just mayo. I like to incorporate a lot of crunchy bits. I pretty much clean out the veggie bin and chop it up real fine. Another healthy "trick" is I like to put half mayo and half Greek yogurt into my tuna. Tangy and healthy (even more protein for muscle growth!)
Everything Tuna Salad
2 cans of tuna packed in water
2 scallions
3 radishes
4 baby carrots
2 stalks celery
4 dill baby pickles
Capers to taste
1 heaping Tbsp. of each: Mayo and Greek Yogurt
* I prefer Duke's Mayo but use whatever you like. I brought up my own stash of mayo from NC due to the unavailability of it above the Mason Dixon Line.*
