This spaghetti squash taco boat lunch fits perfectly with the Bright Line Eating plan. To make this a bright line eating recipe, I used:
- Protein: 2 ounces ground beef with 1 ounce cheese
- Veggies: 200 grams of spaghetti squash
- Fat: Add avocado for the fat!
Other diets this recipe works for:
- If you are following a Body For Life plan, it has a serving of protein (the ground beef) plus a serving of carbs (the spaghetti squash)
- Macro counters will love this spaghetti squash taco. 20 grams protein, 22 grams carbs, and 7 grams fat.
- Using the smart points weight watchers calculator, the whole meal would be 4 points.
- And of course this works great if you are on bikini prep! It balances protein and carbs perfectly.
To make the spaghetti squash first, I cut the squash in half and scooped out the seeds. Then, I wrapped the ends in foil and baked at 350 for about 1 hour.
After the squash was cooked and soft, I filled the inside with cooked ground beef and tomatoes. I didn’t shred the flesh yet. Then, I sprinkled a little cheese and taco seasoning on top and put it back in the oven to melt the cheese. Just for a few minutes.
Then, once the cheese was melted, I took it out and stirred it all up! SO YUMMY! Definitely give this spaghetti squash taco boat a try!
