Mahi mahi tacos with chipotle aioli and mango salsa

Mahi mahi tacos are one of my absolute favorite dinners. What’s not to like? Crunchy cabbage, sweet mango salsa, zesty lime, blackened mahi mahi all covered with a chipotle aioli. These would rival any beach tacos you’ve had, and trust me, I’ve been to a lot of beaches.

Probably the only fun fact about me is that I lived in Maui for an internship right after my undergrad. Lucky? Yes, I know. I was and I still am. It’s been over 7 years since I left Maui and not a day goes by that I don’t think about it. Not one single day. The only thing that stands out more than the sandy beaches and golden pink and red sunsets is the food.

Maui prides itself on fresh ingredients, whether it be the fish itself, all caught by the fishermen in the morning, or the locally grown pineapple, ingredients in Maui are unmatched. My small amount of time on the island taught me to appreciate the use of fresh ingredients that pack a punch of flavor.

Whether you are at the beach or just dreaming of the beach, give this recipe a try!

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Welcome to part 2 where we evaluate a client’s meal diary!

Today’s tips include monitoring your sodium, limiting consumption of processed meats, adding in more fruits, whole grains, and veggies, and making simple swaps to provide more fiber and protein to aid with overall satiety. 

Again, these are just suggestions from a nutritionist to better manage your macros. I could 50 other things in this diary alone. Let me know if y’all want me to keep doing more of these!
