Yep, you read that correctly-nutritious nachos courtesy of Fitness Magazine.
Every summer I look forward to getting the Summer Slim-Down Plan, which includes a total body plan complete with challenging resistance and cardio workouts and recipes . I’ll get to the resistance circuits and the cardio workouts that I tried later on , but let’s be honest here, food always comes first in my book and when I find something I like I need to share it!
When my magazine arrived last week, I dove straight in and tried out a bunch of their new recipes and let’s just say they did not disappoint. My favorite so far? The nachos, natch.
I loved this recipe so much that I made it again last night (and took a better photo), but switched out the regular potato for a sweet potato to provide a healthy punch of Vitamin A. I also topped it off with two crumbled spinach garlic turkey meatballs for the topping. Nutrition and delicious? I’ll take it! My version of the nachos is below-be sure to check out the rest of the recipes the Fitness Magazine Summer Slimdown here.

Nope, Fitness Magazine didn’t bribe me or provide any compensation for reviewing this recipe- I just love them that much! Don’t worry I’ll still keep up my blog when they hire me
