Recipes Featuring Isagenix
1.) Enchiladas Verdes con Isagenix Greens!
Lighter than the traditional green enchiladas typically served at restaurants throughout Mexico and the US, this light yet delicious version of enchiladas verdes features poached chicken breasts, fluffy white corn tortillas, and just the right amount of queso fresco to make it incredibly satisfying without weighing you down.
Ingredients:
• Two boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• One onion, chopped
• Four grams kosher salt
• 18 medium white corn tortillas
• 600 grams salsa verde (homemade or jarred)
• 40 grams Isagenix Greens
• 200 grams crumbled queso fresco
• Sour cream (optional)
• Cilantro to garnish
Directions:
- Start by preheating the oven to 200C. Add the chicken breasts and half of an onion into a stock pot. Then, add a pinch of salt, cover the breasts with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
- When cooked, removed the chicken from the pot and let cool until it’s cool enough for you to comfortably shred it. After shredding the chicken, finely chop the rest of the onion and mix it into the shredded chicken along with a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Now, here comes the fun part. Place six of the corn tortillas on a plate and microwave them for 30 seconds or so to make them pliable and easy to work with. Then, it’s time to get your roll on by rolling each enchilada one by one.
- To do so, simply dip each tortilla in salsa verde (green salsa) and scoop two large spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into a tortilla. Then, roll it tightly and place it in a glass casserole dish. Simply repeat the process, making a single layer until you’ve used up the remaining chicken and tortillas.
- Lastly, whisk the Isagenix Greens into the salsa verde for a healthy kick and pour the sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle on some queso fresco, cover, and bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes.
- After removing them from the oven, you can even add dollops of sour cream and sprinkle on some more queso fresco. Not bad for only 210 calories per serving!

A little pasta goes a long way and can give you the taste you crave and the boost you need. This baked penne dish does just that and goes great with any Isagenix program. With cheesy penne pasta, delicious marinara sauce, balsamic vinaigrette, roasted red bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, and almost every other vegetable under the sun, it’s one of the best baked pasta dishes this side of Tuscany.
Ingredients:
For the Pasta:
• 350 grams Gluten-Free Penne
• 120 grams part-skim ricotta
• 50 grams chopped fresh parsley
• 50 grams grated Romano
• 240 grams shredded part-skim mozzarella
• One standard size jar of your favorite marinara sauce

• Six cloves peeled and smashed garlic
• 15mL balsamic vinegar
• 15mL extra-virgin olive oil
• Three grams kosher salt
• Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
• Four grams dried oregano
• Four grams dried basil
Directions:
- Begin by preheating the oven to 230C. Coat a large baking sheet with the olive oil cooking spray. Then, toss the zucchini, red bell peppers, asparagus, fennel, garlic, and red onion in the olive oil, balsamic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Place the tossed veggies onto the baking sheet and roast them in the oven on the lower rack for approximately 20 minutes, stirring halfway. When done, they will be tender and golden brown.

- Then, in a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, parsley, and half of the mozzarella and Romano cheese. When nicely mixed, coat a deep 32cm x 22cm baking dish with olive oil spray and put half of the roasted vegetables into it. Then, place half of the pasta and cover it with two large ladles of sauce. On top of the sauce, spoon the ricotta mixture in an even layer and cover it with the rest of the pasta, vegetables, and sauce.
- Simply finish it with the rest of the mozzarella and Romano cheese, cover the baking dish with foil, and place it in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted in a layer of gooey goodness. With so much flavour and so few calories, you’ll be making this dish at least once a week!
