Reboot Keto Tuna Melt: Project 2019 Evolv Health Total Reboot

March 24, 2019 by Valerie Lugonja 2 Comments

Reboot Keto Tuna Melt: Even Vanja Likes It!

Keto Tuna Melt

Keto Tuna Melt? Is that the same as a Tuna Melt? Not exactly. A traditional tuna melt is on bread or toast and usually with a slice of Kraft Cheese. 

Keto Tuna Melt

A Keto Tuna Melt is made with the best ingredients you can lay your hands on. After all, food fuels your body and you are certainly not going to scrimp when it comes to that, are you? That means, no Kraft slices. It also means homemade mayonnaise and wild GMO-free tuna (0.32 parts per million of mercury. “Canned white, or albacore tuna: Children under six can eat up to one 3-ounce portion a month; children from 6–12, two 4.5-ounce portions a month. Adults, including pregnant women, can safely eat this kind of tuna up to three times a month (women, 6-ounce portions; men, 8-ounce portions.”)

Keto Tuna Melt

Look at that lush delicious bite. This is a very fast, tasty, nutritious and stick-to-your-ribs meal that you can make with ingredients usually in your fridge and home pantry.  This entire recipe is only one serving, or two if you have a very small appetite.

Use your imagination! Ragan finds celery seed make this dish for her. I love it with green peppers as that’s how mom used to make it, but I am keeping it simple, today!

Reboot Keto Tuna Melt: Making the Casserole

Whole white tuna is key: best flavour, best texture and most healthy. Chunk it up.

Add the crisp, flavourful bits minced to your palate preference.

Combine well.

Combined well. Hard so far?

Reboot Keto Tuna Melt: Baking the Tuna Melt

Top with remaining cheese and bake in a 350ºF oven for 20 minutes, until heated through and cheese a little brown around the edge of the casserole dish.

Simple.

Aromatic! Mmmmm! Moist? Yes, sirree. Delicious? You bet. Talk about home food and comfort and indulgence on a budget. 

Keto Tuna Melt

This little casserole ticks all the boxes. It is 583 calories per serving (or 292 calories for half serving) with 40 grams fat, 31 grams protein and 5 grams carbohydrates. Perfect for that fat burning eating program my family is currently on. Now, don’t get me wrong. We also eat our veggies! Just 50% fat, 25% protein and 25% carbohydrates. I haven’t had a tuna melt in a billion years and I completely enjoyed it! 

PROJECT 2019: JOIN US! EVOLV HEALTH TOTAL REBOOT PROGRAM

This recipe is part of Project 2019 as this is “the” year! I am refocusing my eating to reboot my gut health and promote an active, healthy lifestyle with Saturday Morning Evolv Total Reboot Support Sessions for anyone who wants to join me.

We’ve met every Saturday since January 1. Feedback has been very positive and no one has quit after month one, or month two, and most are now in month three! Me? Last week in month 9 and down just over 70 pounds, though weight loss is an optional silver lining to this integrated health program. I have found that anything I undertake in life that really makes a difference takes determination, perseverance, consistency and a truckload of passion. A group of supportive like-minded people play an equal role in that magic mix toward success.

 Introducing Project 2019

I found myself on this path through sheer desperation, but it is the passion of feeling new and alive again that is driving me forward every day, one day at a time.

      My AMAZING daughter sure DID INSPIRE ME! And I still have to buy some celery seeds to add into the mix as the celery flavour is so important to me in this recipe – and hey, MIKEY LOVES IT! Whoops! I mean, Vanja!
