I lost 20 lbs and auditioned for Sports Illustrated – my go-to healthy girl dinner is 50g of protein & so easy to make
A SWIMSUIT model has shared the recipe she swore by during her weight loss journey.
After losing 20 pounds, she demonstrated how to make her favorite high-protein dinner.
In her video, TikTok user Alex Abel (@miss_alexabel) showed her followers how to make “the easiest, most delicious protein-filled dinner for fall.”
Alex, who recently auditioned for Sports Illustrated, explained: “If you are looking for the easiest weekday dinner you have to try my protein stuffed bell peppers.”
She revealed: “The secret is to cook your rice in beef bone broth, and let that cook for 20 minutes.”
For her next step, Alex prepared the vegetables for her healthy dinner.
“While that’s cooking, slice up a yellow onion and three garlic cloves, throw that in a pan with some olive oil, and let that simmer until they’re translucent,” she told viewers.
Next, she added one pound of lean organic ground beef, six ounces of tomato paste, and one cup of water to the pan.
Alex added: “Season how you like, I did oregano, salt, pepper, and basil.”
She then covered the pan and let the contents simmer for 20 minutes.
“Once that’s done, scoop a cup of your beautiful protein-filled rice into the mixture and stir it up,” she said.
Then stuff the hollowed-out bell pepper to the top with the mixture and top with cheese.
“Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes,” Alex advised.
When the cheese is golden brown, remove from the oven and garnish with cilantro.
Alex recommended serving the dish with your favorite side salad.
She concluded: “Voila, 50 grams of protein in 50 minutes, it’s so easy and so delicious and you’ll have leftovers for the whole week, which is amazing.
“I ate these three days in a row and I never got over them.”
