The Interview

The Fit Cookie: What sets your recipes apart from other “healthy” recipes we often see in magazines?
Jen: Our recipes are simple. They are easy to make and don’t require complicated ingredients, and most are one-pot meals – this makes for a faster cleanup.

The Fit Cookie: Can you give us an idea of what types of foods are in your recipes and meal plans?
Jen: The Prime Method’s recipes are nutrient-dense. All ingredients are chosen to give you the most “bang out of your buck”. Nutrient-dense foods give you the most nutrients for the fewest amount of calories.

The Fit Cookie: Are your recipes allergy-friendly? Food allergies and sensitivities are on the rise these days!
Jen: All of our recipes are gluten, soy, dairy, sugar and preservative free; and just important, DELICIOUS. Plus, our recipes come from whole food ingredients, with little to no processed foods.

The Fit Cookie: Are your meal plans and recipes filling and satisfying? I know I can’t function well when I am hungry all the time and my blood sugar dips!
Jen: Our meals and snacks are balanced to keep your blood sugars stabilized throughout your day. A well-balanced blood sugar level is crucial to your overall fitness and well-being, regulating your hormones, triggering your body to burn stored fat, and increasing your metabolism.

Brazil Nuts and Goji Berries

Recipe and photo created by Jennifer Devilliers of ThePrimeMethod.com

Jen: Now a snack cannot get any simpler then this. I love the Goji berries sweetness combined with the nutty flavor of the Brazilian nuts. Keep in mind that 2-3 Brazilian nuts are one fat serving on The Prime Method – they are so delicious that they are easy to overeat. By the way, Brazil nuts are high in selenium and Goji berries are high in antioxidants.

  1. I need to try out the egg and avocado recipe! And I love the salad smoothie idea and for some reason it has me craving gazpacho all of a sudden 🙂

  2. That chilled asparagus soup (with a chicken-less broth tweak) sounds amazing. I love chilled soups in the summertime (and since it will be about 100 degrees here today, I think I like them in the spring time too).
