TRY THIS! SO DELISH!


3 egg whites

1/2 scoop of Infinite vanilla whey ( I'm sure most other vanilla proteins will work just as well)

Few drops of Strawberry extract

lots of cinnamon

dash of baking powder

1 splenda

1/4 cup of oats

-Mix all together

-let sit for about 5 mins so oats start to get soft

25g of protein
15g of carbs


Fry like a pancake. Its taste like fluffy strawberry bread pancake! Not exactly sure what to classify it as but OMG is it good! Its my 3rd meal all week, this week, and I cant wait!

i made a variation of this before but I used canned pumpkin to thicken it instead of oats....yum! Is it breakfast time yet?

1 banana
1/3 of a 10oz. package of frozen broccoli
2 tbs. peanut butter
1 serving of your chocolate-flavored protein powder of choice
water and ice cubes

Put the first 4 ingredients into a blender. Add water and ice cubes so that the volume comes up to 3 cups. Blend. If you want to increase the chocolate-ness, add some unsweetened dutch process chocolate.

yum! I actually add spinach to my chocolate shakes and you can't taste it either!

Here is a coffee protein mocha:
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 1/2 milk
- 1/2 c water

- 1/2 scoop choc Whey

Blend together and save $5 from Starbucks!

Bacon pancakes!

Pancake ingredients:
20g wheat bran
3 egg whites
7g pre-cooked bacon crumbles (like the kind by Hormel)
Truvia/Cinnamon to taste
baking powder - just a sprinkle

Topping:
10g Brummel and Brown butter spread
1/8 cup Cary's sugar-free syrup

Mix the pancake ingredients in a bowl, and put in a pan to cook like one large cake. With the baking powder, you'll get those nice bubbles in it that will let you know when to flip it.
When the pancake is done, top with the butter spread and syrup, and then eat! The whole recipe is only about 160 calories as is, so I'll add a few fish oil caps on the side and some sugar-free creamer for my coffee to round it up to about 200. I find that amount is perfect for a pre-workout meal that wont sit too heavily in my stomach.

Whoo, not a lot of action in the old recipe thread huh? Well I've got a little recipe/product review if anyone is interested. I like to try out new products to jazz up my meals, so I was intrigued by the Duncan Heins Frosting Creations flavor packets. Each package is 10 calories on it's own, so I figure they might be a fun way to add some life to some meals. I purchased several flavors, and so far I have tried two of them; Cinnamon Roll and White Chocolate Raspberry.

Cinnamon Roll: I added about 1/2 of the package to my morning oats and egg whites (which I normally add cinnamon to) and found that it was pretty good! It was cinnamony - no surprise there - but there is a hint of something else that adds just a slightly different depth of flavor. I also tried adding it to my protein pancakes. I made these today with wheat bran, egg whites and bacon pieces in them, added the flavoring, and then topped with butter and syrup. Again, good flavor that is slightly different from plain cinnamon, but not spectacular. Overall it's good, but nothing that you can't achieve by just adding cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg to a recipe. I'd still give it a 6/10.

White Chocolate Raspberry: I added roughly 1/3 of a package to a serving of Greek Yogurt along with some Truvia (the flavoring is not sweetened at all, so it has a slightly sour flavor on it's own) some raspberries, blueberries and sliced almonds. Overall it gave it a new fun flavor which was exciting, but it did taste a little too artificial and chemically. It overpowered the fresh fruit in the snack. I still think it would be good in other applications, but perhaps in a slightly smaller quantity. Overall, a 5/10.

I still have two flavors to try; Chocolate Almond and Cherry Vanilla. I'm going to continue to play with them in different ways and if I come up with any serious winners I'll post them up!

It was vitally interesting for me browsing your post. Thank you very much for this. I like to read about foods because I love to cook, eat and feed foods. I will continue here for more information.

[fit4aprincess]

1/4 c gluten free oats
2 TBS gluten free flower (i have celiacs)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop protein of choice
3 egg whites
1 TBS water
--mix in blender, food processor, or magic bullet

spray waffle maker with fat free cookie spray, pour, let cook, serve with fresh fruit on top. its delicious!

you can use this same recipe without the vanilla and using plain protein for a protein pizza:
make the waffle, when it is almost cooked but slightly raw still, remove it from the waffle machine, put tomato sauce & fresh mozzarella slices w/ your choice of meat/veggies, spray a cookie sheet, put it on the cookie sheet and bake it for 6 min @ 350 degrees or until desired. it tastes AMAZING!

Protien Pancakes:

1 cup old fashion oats
1 scoop vanilla protein
3 egg whites
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
cinnamon to taste

I normally throw in some nuts or a banana or berries and sometimes leave out the cinnamon
Just blend everything together in the blender and add any of thee above after and stir in. They cook quicker than normal pancakes and you have to watch them carefully or they will be too dry!

Chocolate Peanutbutter Protein Fudge. This stuff is an amazing cold snack in the summer!! I am addicted to it


1 cup plain pumpkin puree
1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 scoops chocolate protein
1/8 cup honey
about a tablespoon of honey
1/3 cup peanutbutter
throw in a handful of peanuts (optional)

Mix all of the ingredients together and let it sit in the freezer over night. I found it's a little easier to cut if you let it sit out for just a minute. It is kind of like fudge icecream!

[mnrfit]

PIZZA ROLLS

Reduced Fat Crouisant Rolls
Tomato Paste (I just used the lowest calorie spaghetti sauce)
Fat Free Mozzerella Cheese
Turkey Pepperoni
Other toppings you want

Spray cookie sheet with PAM. Spread out crouisants. Place sauce at larger end of triangle. Add toppings, including cheese. Roll up or fold over depending on size of toppings. Sprinkle with garlic powder and italian seasonings. Cook in oven at 375 for 12 minutes.

This is a delicious way to fight the pizza craving. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

[vrwiest]

I use those flavor packets too!

My favorite thing to do with them is make low calorie ice cream:
1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
Sprinkle from the flavor packet (maybe about 1/4 tsp)
Splenda to taste
.25 tsp Xanthan gum (makes it creamier, but optional)

I use a hand blender to mix it up, then stick it in my ice cream maker for about 15-20 minutes. Delicious and only 45 calories for the whole serving. You could also add protein powder. I really like the cotton candy and bubble gum flavors for this. (guess I'm a kid at heart )

Well I've got a little recipe/product review if anyone is interested. I like to try out new products to jazz up my meals, so I was intrigued by the Duncan Heins Frosting Creations flavor packets.

My nutritionist put me on 1300 cals daily.
300 breakfast
100 snack
300 lunch
100 snack
400 dinner
100 snack

I would love some recipes for all! Hopefully cheap and easy. I like chicken. I'm willing to give tuna a shot.

Egg & Turkey Cups...

Just made the other day. So good!! Only thing I did different was mixed up spinach and eggs in a separate bowl before pouring in the turkey cup.

[dalkristel]

Smoked Salmon with Strawberries - no cooking required tastes delicious!

Lay out a portion of rocket salad in the middle of your plate;

Pop a portion of smoked salmon around the edge of that;

Cut up two or three good sized strawberries into halves or quarters and place them around the edge of your plate;

Then carefully drizzle balsamic vinegar over the strawberries around the edge popping a little drop here and there over the rest.

Eat this and you will not be disappointed I thought it sounded funny before I tried it but it doesn't half taste good and less than 300 calories!

Egg & Turkey Cups...

Just made the other day. So good!! Only thing I did different was mixed up spinach and eggs in a separate bowl before pouring in the turkey cup.

Not only is it healthy, but it looks adorable.

No real 'recipe' to share right now, but if I make wheat pancakes, I'll add 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese to the mix. Surprisingly, there are no lumps, and it just really gives the pancakes a blintz-ish type taste. I didn't like adding protein powder anymore to the mix, as it changed the overall taste a bit too much for my liking. But, this works, to add protein into your pancakes.

[ealperin]

All of these sound SO GOOD!!!

[Mijass2001]

5 TBLSP natural peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup oat flour (if you don't have oat flour, use another
1/2 cup of oats)
6 scoops chocolate whey protein
1 tsp vanilla
2 TBSP flax seeds (optional)
1 cup non fat dry milk
1/2 cup water (you may need more water depending on
whey protein)

Mix together dry ingredients. Add peanut butter and mix. It will be crumbly. Add water and vanilla. (Use a spatula sprayed with non stick spray) and mix completely (dough may be very sticky). Put in a greased 8x8 pan and either refridgerate or freeze until hardened. Cut into 9 squares. Wrap individually and take with you.

I LOVE THESE! Just made them tonight :-) When do you eat them? How many a day?

[casualtiespunk]

I came up with this a few days ago. Adjust the ingredients to your own taste.

Ingredients:

1) 1 tbsp. ground flaxseeds
2) 1 scoop vanilla whey powder
3) 1/2 c. uncooked oats
4) Stevia, or other artificial sweetener, to taste
5) Sugar-free maple syrup imitation (look for golden griddle--25 cal. in 1/4 c.!)
6) Pureed pumpkin, to taste ( I add at least 1-2 tbsp.)
7) Pumpkin pie spices, to taste

Directions:

Cook the oats using whatever method you prefer--I add enough cold water for it to be slightly runny, and let it sit a few minutes to soften

Add the remaining ingredients, starting with the flax. Mix each in thoroughly before adding the next one.

Note: Depending upon how much water you had to start, you will need to add more.

Enjoy!

You will have to play around with the ingredients to get the right taste. You can also use the whey-flax-oat combination to create endless dishes, using berries one day and apples the next. Oatmeal will never be boring again!

[casualtiespunk]

Ingredients:

1) 3-4 scoops chocolate-flavoured whey or casein powder
2) 1/2 - 1 medium banana, mashed
3) 2tbsp. - 1/4c. natural peanut or almond butter, depending upon personal preference
4) ~1/2 c. water, unsweetened almond milk, or skim milk

Directions:

1) Combine peanut butter and liquid of choice.
2) add in banana, and thoroughly combine
3) add protein one scoop at a time, adding tbsp.-fuls of liquid as needed, until you have a thin paste-like substance.
4) divide evenly among either six large or 12 mini WELL-GREASED/Sprayed muffin tins.
5) Freeze until hardened, about 1 hr.

***NOTES***
1) Despite the spray, these WILL be hard to remove from the pan.
2) Eat these fast! They start to melt within five minutes of removal from pan
3) I used skim milk, and 2tbsp. peanut butter (Laura Scudder's Nutty)
4) Most importantly, ENJOY!

Mix 1/2 scoop vanilla protein and 2 tablespoons PB2 and then add 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt. So good for dipping apples in! Or just mix 1 scoop vanilla protein and 1/2 cup greek yogurt with a little bit of vanilla extract. Two of my new favorite things!

[casualtiespunk]

This recipe can work for either tuna or chicken. Feel free to experiment with other meats, or even try a couple of hard-boiled eggs, finely diced!

Serves 1

Ingredients:
1) 1 can tuna, drained
2) 1/2c. cooked brown rice
3) 1-2tbsp. ff sour cream or ¼ c. ff Greek yoghurt
4) 1 stalk celery, chopped to desired size
5) 1 chive/green onion, chopped
6) ¼ cucumber, diced
7) 1 tsp. to 1 tbsp. curry powder of choice, depending upon your preference
8) ½-1 tsp. ground coriander* (can usually be found in the spice section of your local market)
9) ½ tsp. garam masala*(optional)
10) Green cabbage leaves, to serve

Directions:
Combine the tuna and rice in a bowl; set aside. In a larger bowl, mix together the spices and sour cream/yoghurt. Add the tuna-rice mix, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Add all of the vegetables, combine, and serve. I like to spread some of the mix inside cabbage leaves or lettuce leaves and have ‘tacos’.

*Notes: If you are having difficulty finding ground coriander, you can easily make it yourself. Simply grind up enough coriander seeds in a coffee grinder, or—for those of you fortunate enough to have one—spice mill to give you the amount you desire.

Garam Masala is an Indian blend of ground toasted spices. It is becoming more readily found in the largest of supermarket chains; just be sure to find one that does not fill the bottle with salt!

It may be a bit dry, in which case you can add more cream/yoghurt or a little dash of olive oil.

For a keto dieter—omit the rice and add 1-2tbsp coarsely chopped almonds, cashews or peanuts, or make the dairy product full-fat, or BOTH! 

Happy cooking!
