Tuna Salad Surprise Have you ever noticed that some mornings the cat has a healthier breakfast than you do? Tuna’s not just for lunch anymore. In fact, when we have our big, healthy employee breakfast at Beachbody, a big bowl of this tuna recipe is usually the star of the buffet. Tuna is really high in protein and a great source of vitamin D and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. You could mix it up by substituting canned salmon once in a while. This recipe replaces fattening mayonnaise with healthy veggies and lemon juice for a refreshing, high-energy breakfast (although we might suggest an after-breakfast mint).

5 oz. canned tuna in water (if in oil, skip olive oil)    
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. lemon juice (or to taste)
1 tomato, diced
1/4 cup green onions, diced
 2 Tbsp. parsley and/or cilantro (or more to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
Raw jalapeño (if desired)

Preparation time: 10 minutes Nutritional information (per serving): Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Chop in some raw jalapeño for extra zip!
