Getting back on the routine after Thanksgiving has been rough on ALL of us — especially going back to that workout class on Monday, then running to work right after. 🥵
Put together this simple magnesium boosting snack plate, with MINIMAL cooking, to help with my muscle cramps, keep me focused at work, and get my sleep back on track 🏃🏻♀️👩🏻💻🛌
For the cucumber & edamame salad, and the tomato sumac onion salads, combine all ingredients into their own bowls, mix well, and set to the side
To steam the potato (1 small) quickly, poke it all over with a fork, wrap in a wet paper towel, then microwave for 2-3 mins
For the sardine toast, slather both sides of the baguette (½) with cream cheese (1 Tbsp), top with a bit more sliced red onion (1 handful) (wash onion slices to help make it less spicy), then sardines (1 can) and dill (sprig) on top
Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, then serve arranged on a plate together!
