Pearl chats: This meal sounds simple, but I love it. You can use it with any of our cracker recipes. I like to quickly nuke some Joseph’s Crackers and put forkfuls of each mound on the crackers. This lunch can be E, S, or Fuel Pull, depending upon how much fat you use or if you add fruit. See the Recipe Notes below for ideas on making this recipe into the different fuel types. Quick Tuna Medley is found on pages 306 & 307 of the original Trim Healthy Mama book.

Note
Recipe Notes
Making Quick Tuna Medley S, E, or FP:
- For S, you can add mayo to the tuna if desired, or even use tuna packed in olive oil.
- For E, use water packed tuna, leave out the mayo (or use a low-fat version) and go easy with the olive oil on the raw veggies, or don’t use it at all. For an E, a little mound of fruit added to the plate such as half a diced mango is so refreshing.
- For a Fuel Pull, leave out any full-fat mayo, oil, or fruit, but add some berries instead. I use 1% cottage cheese for this recipe which works for S, E and Fuel Pull.
