Budget-friendly and healthy: Zucchini boats and protein shake

HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Wellness Coach Jessica Molina demonstrates making zucchini boats and a protein-packed coffee shake on a morning show.

The zucchini boats feature ground turkey, taco seasoning, cheese, and yellow carrots, baked for 10-15 minutes at 350°F.

The dish is budget-friendly and versatile, using simple ingredients that can be repurposed in other recipes.

The coffee shake contains approximately 40-60 grams of protein, made with chilled coffee, frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, and milk, blended to serve the studio audience.

Molina emphasized the importance of seasoning to taste and the visual appeal of colorful ingredients.
