Don't "diet", instead, Transform Your Life! We offer meal plans with recipes that taste GREAT! Enjoy your food, live your life, and reach your goals!
The inspiration for this recipe came from the May/June 2010 issue of Clean Eating Magazine. The flavors were good, but the nutritional profile and texture weren't what I wanted... I tweaked and tweaked until this TMT Sauce was given a round of thumbs-up. High protein, and packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, this training-friendly sauce is a meal by itself!
Pair it with Quinoa or Whole Wheat pasta, a baked potato, jasmine or brown rice... it's versatile and incredibly filling!
