We are all aware that eating healthy foods can help us really feel better inside our bodies. Increasing our daily allowance of healthy foods while decreasing the intake of unhealthy ones plays a part in a more healthy feeling. A salad helps us feel a lot better than a piece of pizza (physically in any case). Choosing healthier food choices can be difficult when it is snack time. Finding snacks that really help us feel better and enhance our stamina often involves lots of shopping and scrupulous reading of labels. Why not try one of many following healthy snacks the next time you need some extra energy?

If you’re looking for a speedy snack, you can’t go wrong with a whole grain one. Starting your day with a piece of whole grain bread toasted can give you that added boost you need to get going.

The ingredients needed to prepare "Ropa Vieja" (Shredded beef- panamanain style):
  1. You need 1/4 cup cooking wine
  2. You need 6 small tomatoes
  3. Take 3 lb beef (brisket or similar - tasty and easy to tear apart or shred)
  4. Use 1 small onion (i prefer to add 1/2 or 1tsp powdered)
  5. Use 1 can tomato paste (4oz or 113g)
  6. You need 1 each salt n pepper (to taste)
  7. You need 3 clove garlic, minced (or garlic powder)
  8. Get 1 small bell pepper (you can play with the colors, but green is whats usually used for this)
  9. Use 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions to make "Ropa Vieja" (Shredded beef- panamanain style):
  1. Cook the brisket on boiling water until soft and tender. Seasoned the water with salt, garlic and onion (if using powder), pepper. I usually leave it like 1-2 hours.
  2. Once its cooked, remove it from pan and let it cool. Separate or tear out the meat. Dice tomatoes in small cubes, and bell pepper too.
  3. On a frying pan, add ur vegetable oil and put your tomatoes and bell pepper (if u're using garlic cloves and onion instead of powder u should add them now too). I like to squeeze tomatoes with a fork to get all the juices and flavor.
  4. Add your brisket on the pan and stir with veggies. Add the tomato paste and the cooking wine. Let it boil, add the sugar and taste it in case it needs more salt or seasoning.
  5. Add enough beef broth (water left from cooking ur beef) to the sauce. Cook it until sauce is ready and thickened.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
  7. ** This is our traditional version of a very popular dish in Panama, and other countries like Colombia and Venezuela. I have tried it also with chicken and pork and tastes good too!
  8. This is great served with white rice or rice and lentils with a simple salad, but i prefer it with caramelized ripe plantains for that sweetness touch (great flavor contrasts in ur mouth)
  9. You can also do pita pockets with your leftovers (which i do all the time and will share recipe later); or serve it with corn tortillas (not the mexican style but the ones similar to "arepas" that are fried) for breakfast or as snack.
