Avocado ice cream:
Also posted about it here http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post952609633


The thought of avocados in ice cream might sound nasty to some, but trust me, it's wonderful. This ice cream has a delicious flavor, with a creamy texture. My husband and kids say it actually tastes like banana ice cream. Very simple to make, no ice cream maker needed, but if you have one, that's a plus. You can add some vanilla protein powder into the recipe if you want as well.

You will need:
3 Hass Avocados (these are California avocados, which I prefer over other varieties. I live in Florida and I am not fond of our avocados.)
1 cup of half and half
1/2 cup of heavy cream
Truvia or your sweetener of choice to taste
1/2 a lime, freshly squeezed (this will help the ice cream retain its lovely color.)

Peel and put your avocados and scrape into a blender. Add your other ingredients and give it a good 1-2 minute pulse. At this step, if you do not have an ice cream maker, you can pour into a sealable freezer safe container. Freeze for a few hours, stirring every 1 or two hours to get the correct consistency.

If you have an ice cream maker, go ahead and pour your mix into it. Slow churn for 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately if you enjoy soft serve, or freeze if you prefer your ice cream a little firmer.

Makes about 6-8 servings.

Enjoy! If you do try my recipe, please let me know how you like it!

*I completely forgot to take pictures of all the steps. I will update this later when I make it again. For now, salivate on what it looks like when it is finished.*

Ingredients:
1 cup of half and half
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1 oz of ground coffee beans
1 to 2 teaspoons of Truvia or sweetener of your choice
Strainer
*Optional: 2-3 scoops of your favorite whey protein.*

You don’t need an ice cream maker. You can just mix it and pop it into a freezer, stirring it every hour or so until it is the right texture. I have a Kitchenaid ice cream maker which makes ice cream in 20 minutes or less.

I like this ice cream because sometimes I feel a little groggy, and it gives me that boost. Plus it tastes delicious.

Grind your coffee beans in a coffee grinder or give them a quick pulse in your blender. Pour your half and half into a sealable container and add your ground coffee beans. Place inside your fridge overnight to allow the caffeine to release into the half and half. This would also be a good time to check and make sure your bowl for your ice cream maker is in the freezer. I always hate it when I am all pumped up and ready to make ice cream, and I look on the counter and realize I did not freeze my bowl.

24 hours later, grab your strainer and strain the half and half into a blender. You can discard your beans or immediately prepare more half and half for another batch of ice cream. I can usually get 2 batches out of my beans.

Add your heavy cream and your sweetener (and your protein powder if you are adding it into the recipe) and give the contents a 30-60 second pulse in your blender. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour your mix into a sealable bowl and freeze, stirring occasionally. If you have an ice cream maker, set it up and turn it on. Slowly pour your mixture into the maker and give it a slow churn for 15-20 minutes or till completely frozen.

If you are more of a soft serve type of person, you can enjoy your ice cream immediately. If you like a firmer ice cream, scoop the ice cream into a sealable bowl and place in the freezer.

Enjoy!

This ice cream can be kept for a week, and should make 4 servings.

Macro breakdown for total batch:
81.6 g of protein with protein powder (9.6 without)
83 g of fat
26.1 g of carbs (6 of these are from the Truvia, and 9 are from the protein powder)


Adjust the recipe as you see fit to make more or less.

This makes kinda a heavy pbj. I'm one of those people who can't get a decent bread to peanut butter ratio using just 2 tbsp.
3 tbsp natty pb. Crunchy or not
2 slices while wheat bread
Choice of jam ( try for reduced sugar with actual fruit in it)
- I actually lightly blend some strawberries and add agave syrup for consistency as my jam.
1/8 cup granola
A panini cooker
Banana

Directions: one slice gets peanut butter, other slice gets jam, apply thin layer of granola or oats to pb side. Slice banana and place on jam side. Panini cook for 15-20 seconds till bar lines appear on bread.
Note, must be had with full glass of chocolate milk = poor mans best post workout drink!

Nutritional values all very depending on types of jam peanut butter bread etc used.

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALLS:

Ingredients
180g peanut butter
90g agave honey
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
45g porridge oats
Makes 10-12 balls

How to make them
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and form into walnut-sized balls. Place the balls in the fridge for a couple of hours until they harden.

Why should I have them?
The porridge oats have a low glycaemic index, which means they release their energy slowly and keep your blood sugar levels steady so you won’t crave unhealthy snacks. The whey protein will fuel muscle growth, while the peanut butter is rich in monounsaturated fat, which will boost the muscle-building hormone, testosterone.

i sometimes replace the vanilla protein with chocolate and sometimes (SOMETIMES) add other ingrediants like a small spoon of creatine to mix in with the food, as it has no taste at all and is not visible to the naked eye.

these are extremley tasty and i use this ALOT , original credit goes too google recepies :P
used this in the beginning but i vary it alot

[Terpgym]

These recipes all sound great!

[Pyvovarov]

3 cups oatmeal
140 grams protein powder
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
2 egg whites
1 cup apple sauce
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
You can also add fructose or sugar, I dont because my protein powder is sweetened enough.

Preparation:

Combine the above ingredients and put in a oiled (use pam) 9x9 pan.
Bake @ 350 for 35 min.
Makes 8 bars. When they are cool, put them in the fridge or they will go to shat in a few days.
These are great for breakfast. I use chocolate protein powder and I don't always put apple sauce in (I usually don't have any). I just put more milk in. Make sure that the mixture is not too dry, but it shouldn't be watery like soup either or it will take forever to cook. You can also add cinnamon.
I do that when I use vanilla protein powder.

Quick Bars

The goods.


Mmmm, looks good.....


Smash in your chips


Basic cold oat bar. I did these with my new NOW unflavored whey.



2 % Milk , 1 cup
Chocolate Chips, 5 Tbsp
Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp
Sugar 3 Teaspoons
Oats 2.5 cup
Now Whey 4 scoop
Natural Peanut Butter, 14 Tablespoons

Makes 9 big bars
Per Serving: CAL-304 CHO-20 F-16 P-20

Key here is the type of protein powder you have on hand and how it affects thickness of base. If your runny add oats, if your thick add more milk.

Warm milk and PB in a pan just to make mixing in Protein powder and oats easier.
Add protein powder, salt, and sugar. Dump in oats and stir. No cooking.
Dump the combination in a 9"x9" and press out flat. Let cool a few minutes and then press chips in top.
Refrigerate and eat.

I am enjoying playing with the NOW unflavored. I am poor as fauk and it sure goes a long way for the money. This batch came out loose at 2 cups oats so I added extra 1/2 cup oats. With Dymatize Cinnamon bun casein this recipe only needs 2 cups oats to be a nice tight bar.

Plenty of recipes on the interwebs but few of them had good pics of the sludge pre oats. My first couple of batches came out pretty lame until I got the consistency close to pic #2.

You can add any type chip, dried fruit, or nuts. Consistency is similar to a Clif bar once its set in the fridge.

A personal favourite of mine, I take it to school for my lunch. Tastes great and easy to make. (Got this of Men's Health online)

3⁄4 c diced precooked chicken
2 Tbsp diced onion
2 Tbsp feta-cheese crumbles
1 handful romaine lettuce, chopped
1 large whole-wheat tortilla
Salsa for dipping

Arrange the chicken, onion, cheese, and lettuce down the center of the tortilla.

Roll it tightly, then cut it in half.

Grill the rolls seam-side down for 2 to 3 minutes per side, on a nonstick skillet heated to medium. Serve with salsa. Makes 1 serving

Sweet potato hash browns
Heat up oil on a frying pan. Cut the skin off the potatoes, cut them up with a cheese grader. Heat up until light brown and flip to do the same on the other side. Add a little salt to bring out the sweetness.
I came up with this by the way so I hope you guys enjoy!

[Phatty92]

I've been making, well I'm not sure what to call it exactly, but the end result tastes great.

Dice some chicken and grate some carrot, fry the chicken off in a pan with a bit of oil or spray and season with Chinese 5 spice and cayenne pepper.
Then add the grated carrot.
Then in another frying pan, spray a little oil and heat the pan and toast one side of a multigrain wrap (or whatever tortilla wraps you have).

Add a smidgen of mayo to half of the un-toasted wrap, lay on some salad and top with the hot chicken and carrot then fold the wrap over it.

lol, really basic, but for anyone who's ever done the oatmeal with protein powder and peanut butter - try oats, cinnamon, bananas and cream protein, and PB. tastes kind of banana breadish, or at least much different than usual with chocolate or vanilla. great way to mix it up.

also for petite sirloin steaks, favorite homemade marinade is predominantyly diet dr. pepper. add juice of 2 limes. sprinkle in quite a bit of pepper and salt. some garlic. stir those all together, put steaks in it, and let steak sit in there for about 24 hours before grilling. awesome IMO and of a lot of people who have tried it.
