I combined my love of Middle Eastern Spices with the traditional pot roast recipe to come up with something mildly spiced but very flavorful. I've also substituted white potatoes for sweet potatoes for a little different flavor (and to be more South Beach Diet friendly- sweet potatoes are phase 2 only and are considered a "starch" because of the amount of natural sugar in them)

This South Beach Phase Two smoothie is a great way to start the day or a great boost of protein after training. It tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! (without the bread, obviously)

I love to make this on a cold night. It's warm and satisfying and disgustingly easy to make. Too substantial to be called a "soup" but not quite a stew.If spice isn't your thing, use sweet Italian sausage. But make sure whichever sausage you buy, it's packed with flavor. It's the main seasoning in the recipe.

This Middle Eastern Shrimp Recipe is South Beach Diet Friendly for All Phases. It includes chick peas, spinach, shrimp and tomatoes with commonly found Middle Eastern Spices to create a flavorful stew.

This recipe for Spicy Green Beans and Shrimp was a great way to use up all those green beans we have been overloaded with from our farm share! I also figured out how to do this in one pan.. mostly.
