*** The delicious "cut-friendly" recipe thread ***

This has most probably already been done before but it cures my sweet tooth when cutting;

Cottage Cheese Mousse - 300 cals, 5.4 Fat, 33.8 Pro, 30 Carb

200g Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 x Cup Skim/Light Milk
Flavoured Protein Powder OR Jam/Cocoa/Honey/Peppermint/Sweetener
1 Tbsp Gelatin (Add 100ml Boiling water and stir until warmish/cool)
Vanilla Essence

Blend it all together and add prepared gelatin.

Fridge for roughly 30mins until it's set and you have roughly 1/2 Litre Mousse

I go different flavours every night

Choc - Strawberry
Choc - Peppermint
Vanilla - Raspberry
Choc - Almond

Does anyone happen to have this thread collected in an excel file or anything?? It is amazing!

Great recipe. I make this all the time. I actually made this yesterday of coourse i have my own take on it plus and minus a few ingredients. If you use hot salsa instead of diced tomatoes it will really make the chili. also make sure you cook the turkey and onions before you add everything else or it will get extra watery from the onions.

Okay this isn't exactly groundbreaking but I didn't see anything like it listed in here and I've been making these things for weeks! They're awesome when you need a change of pace from chicken, chicken, and more chicken (like I did).

[b]Quick Tuna Burgers[/b]
-1 can of tuna, drained (I use in water)
-2 Tbsp oats
-1 egg white
-garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and dried parsley to taste

Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over medium heat. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and then split into two patties. Cook the burgers on the pan for about 3-4 minutes per side (or however long you'd like)

I personally like to top mine with low fat cheddar cheese and ketchup! Sometimes I eat them on toast, sometimes I don't - they're delicious either way!

yea i make this aLL THE TIME too great before bedtime or just when i wake up for some slow burning protein. Can we keep these recipies flowing?

I saw a cool method of cooking. This guy took a slow cooker but a few skinless boneless pieces of chicken in there some hot sauce and spices. He let it cook for 5-8 hours low and slow and got pulled buffalo chicken that looked amazing.

500g 0% plain Greek yogurt. 320 calories
Granola/oats 50 calories
Vanilla pudding powder 1 tsp 30 calories
Stevia/splenda
Bit of vanilla
Cinnamon

About 400 calories - very filling and tasty

Casein Protein mousse

For a filling night time dessert I have:
25grams Casein Protein
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
100ml Water
Blend the above together with a hand whisk

Top with:
Ground Cinnamon
Chopped Walnuts

Great way of having Casein instead of just the usual before bedtime shake and really filling.

"Diet Friendly French Toast"
Ingredients:
Healthy Life Whole Wheat 35 cal Bread
1/2 cup egg substitute/whites
1/4 tsp cinnamon (for garnish-- optional)
1 tsp skim milk
fat free cooking spray
fresh fruit or topping of your choice (i generally eat it with arctic freeze vanilla maple flavor+fruit. or a drizzle of SF maple syrup)


Combine egg and milk in a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk until thoroughly combined
preheat a skillet pan (or whatever you normally cook pancakes on, you may have a cooking stove top.), set it on a medium heat flame/setting
take a slice of bread, gently lay it in the egg mixture until down side is coated. Then, flip it to coat the other side
spray your HOT pan
put the slice of bread covered in egg on the oiled pan, wait about 30-45 seconds and flip. continue to flip until it cooks to the level of your preference
repeat with another slice of bread.
when complete, garnish with selected toppings and enjoy!

**I generally use this and with the 1/2 cup egg white can get 3 pieces of french toast. If you are cutting and want a low calorie desert, I highly recommend this french toast with a sugar free topping (arctic freeze is a brand of ice cream that is 150 cal in one pint and 13 g of whey protein. I love it, but it is somewhat hard to find at times. I put about 1/4 cup on the side of my plate with some fruit on the toast and as i eat i mix it all together and it is delicious)

So much win...I have the ingredients for the cottage cheese recipe but no whey...And we actually have a slow cooker in my house. I must try using it soon with some meat.

[B][U]Protein Chocolate Pudding[/U][/B]
*A stand mixer is greatly recommended for this recipe

2 boxes of Instant, Sugar-free pudding (It is VITAL that the pudding you get is INSTANT and not the dumb Cook and Serve type pudding. Be sure to check the pudding box, meticulously as packaging might look exactly the same except for a small label that says "Cook and Serve")
4 cups/2 pints/1 quart of cold skim milk
2 cups of Greek yogurt, I used 2%
4 scoops of protein powder, I used EAS 100% Whey Protein (23g protein/scoop)

- In a stand mixer place the 4 scoops of protein powder. Then quickly add 1 quart of cold skim milk and turn on the mixer to a medium setting. I find that the quicker you add the milk and turn on the mixer the less chance there is of clumping.
- After fully mixed, add the 2 boxes of pudding and continue to mix for about 2 minutes.
- Add the 2 cups of greek yogurt and continue to mix on medium and escalate to high. Mix for about 2 more minutes.
- After fully mixed and it feels thick enough, use a rubber spatula and push the pudding through a fine mesh strainer. This will remove any clumps that may have occured.

Produces about 1500g of pudding (remember I used 2% greek yogurt)
Nutrition for all 1500g = 19g fat (10g saturated), 142g carbs (70g sugar, 5g fiber), 174g protein = 1500 calories
Nutrition for 1/6th portion at 250g each = [B]3.2g fat[/B](1.67g saturated), [B]23.7gcarbs[/B](11.7g sugar, 0.83g fiber), [B]29g protein[/B] = [B]250 calories[/B]

I like to be very thorough :)
I consider this a double batch, because if you're gonna make some pudding why not make enough to last a while right? More food and less work makes Jack a happy boy.
I made two of these, one with chocolate pudding and chocolate protein and another with vanilla pudding and vanilla protein and both are amazing.

I cannot freaking wait to try to use this pudding to maybe make a banana split with whipped cream, toasted walnuts, and peanut butter sauce drizzle. OMFG BRB while I gorge.

Protein pumpkin pie! THIS IS DELICIOUS!!!
- 1 can of organic pumpkin.
- 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
- 6 packets of truvia
- 2 tbsp. of cinamon
- 2 egg whites
Mix together, I seperated the mix into 4 little quiche trays I have. Then I baked them at 375 for 15 min.
Each one is 110 calories, 1g fat, 10 g carb, 4 g fiber, and 15 g. protein!
Happy eating!

If you want to add fat you could use two whole eggs, or instead of the eggs melt down 1.5 tbsp of coconut oil.

"Hot Tuna"
Whole wheat bun + tuna + light mayo + black pepper + chili powder + jalapenos + pickles + hot sauce

Protein green smoothie

- 1 banana (better frozen)
- 2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 scoop of vanilla whey (or soy) protein powder
- 1 tsp bee pollen
- ½ cup125ml crushed ice

Combine all the ingredients in a blender, making sure that the spinach sits at the bottom (this will facilitate the blending process). Blend until smooth and creamy.

The best broccoli of your life :


Take about 2 bunches and cut into florets (but relatively big ones.)

Put the broccoli on a sheet with aluminum wrapper. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. (around 4 Tbs olive oil, 1 1/2 tsps kosher salt, 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper) and add some garlic cloves in there as well

Roast in the oven 20 to 25 minutes @ 425 degrees, then take it out, add a slight more pinch of olive oil, some lemon, and just small amounts of thinly grated parmessan cheese over it.


tastes pretty good with any type of meat. the oven fresh and warm/roasted texture and taste of the broccoli makes it more enjoyable to have, with the chicken, steak or the fish.

Is this enjoyable or just barely?

Protein Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Adjust to fit your tastes/hunger level:

Threads like this are great for new faces like myself.

Fantastic recipes, thanks

Anyone mind giving me a few pointers on zero/low cal seasoning? Tabasco and sriracha are a given, splenda/stevia for sugary stuff. Anything to marinade your meat with? (no homo)

I really do put that **** on everything. The wing sauce is different from the normal red hot, tastes like restaurant wings. So good. Mix some of that with some garlic, pepper, crushed red peppers, maybe cumin if you like buffalo. Marinade your chicken in that. For meat I normally just go with soy sauce, garlic, onion(powder)s, pepper.

Veggie Homemade Pizza

(I'm a vegetarian hence the lack of meat, but you could obviously add some!)

Base: 1 cup flour (400C + 16P) +2 tsp yeast (70 cal + 9P)+ 1 tsp Sugar (15 c) + 1 tbs olive oil (120 c)

Mix everything except the oil together with enough water to make it into a dough. Knead until it is smooth and elasticy. Then leave it for 20 mins. After the 20 mins is up, roll it out into a pizza base and place on a pizza oven tray.

Sauce: 3 tbsp tomato puree (42 c + 2 P) + 150g Cottage Cheese (112 + 16P)

Mix together and spread across the base of the pizza.

Topping: 150g mozzarella (382c 27p) + ½ cup mushrooms (7c) + tomato (14c)+ half cup pepper (46c)

Chop and place the toppings on the pizza then place in a super hot oven (240C) for 15-20 mins.

Per serving (half the pizza): 604 calories + 35g protein and super duper delish!
