CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MUG CAKE – PROTEIN ‘DONUT’

Who doesn’t want to eat donuts for breakfast? Especially if they’re healthy! I made this in about 2 minutes and it was delicious!

Recipe: In a small bowl spray with coconut oil non-stick spray. Combine 1/2c liquid egg whites, 1 tbs coconut flour, 1/2tsp. baking powder, 1 tbs whey protein (I used molten chocolate flavor), 1/2 tbs. pb2 ground peanut flour, 1/2 tbs of Stevita chocolate cocoa powder. Mix until well combined and somewhat thick. Pour a small amount of  chocolate walden farms into the center and pop in microwave for 90 seconds. Once you take it out, turn bowl upside down on a plate. Sometimes the whole in the center doesn’t always come out so perfectly like this one.. so you will have more of a “cake” than a donut, but they all taste amazing.

Top with the remaining 1.5tbs peanut flour (pb2 or pblean) mixed with a small amount of water, more chocolate walden farms sauce if desired, and even add some fat free whip cream. Yumm!

Macros on this delicious creation are 160 calories, 3G Fat, 10G Carbs, 5G Fiber, and 22G Protein.

TOMATO, JALAPENO, CHEESE, AND SPROUT OMELETTE

So I’ve been making my breakfast quesadillas a lot lately… I’m addicted! But today I had my ‘pbj oats’ as my carb source so I made my egg quesadilla as an omelette minus the tortilla and added some sprouts. It was amazing! 2/3 cup egg whites pan fried, flip and add 1/4c fat free shredded cheddar, 2 tbs Oikos brand Greek yogurt salsa jalapeno dip, 1/4 of an organic tomato thinly slicethen cover with a lid to let the cheese melt. Add a pinch of sprouts, fold and devour!

BBQ turkey and Jack Cheese Panini Sandwich

This was a ‘samnich’ creation I came up with because now that I don’t have anything planned until the Olympia I’m having fun with macros a bit more. I broiled a 4oz turkey burger with honey BBQ walden farms + spices (I find that when you add spices to the walden farms sauces they taste less like chemicals haha), then broke it up, sautéed some sweet onion threw that on top, layered with an ounce of jalapeño jack almond cheese, and panini pressed it on Sarah lee 45 calorie multigrain bread. Pretty dang good! Oh yes and a side of steamed green beans with white cheddar popcorn seasoning because #fiber and #greens.

#MACROS 290 cals, 4G Fat, 40G Protein, 28G Carbs.

FRESH, HEALTHY, SUMMER LETTUCE WRAPS

Wanting a “summery” lunch? Try this meal idea out!

I used a 4oz. broiled turkey burger I made with Mexican seasoning and crumbled it up, mixed it with fat free hummus and fresh corn/black bean pico de gallo + sriracha and stuffed it in lettuce wraps. I’ve been craving fruit like crazy too so carbs in this meal were watermelon and cantaloupe.

EGG WHITE & VENISON LOW CARB QUESADILLA

Made an egg white&ground venison low carb quesadilla for dinner and OMG this was amazing! I used 2/3 cup egg whites pan fried with an ounce of ground venison mixed in (you could use ground turkey or beef or omit). Topped it with sliced tomato, 1/4 cup fat free cheese, and handful of organic spinach. Then warmed up a low carb tomato basil wrap (12G carbs/7g fiber- Tumaros brand), spread two tablespoons of jalapeño salsa Greek yogurt dip (Oikos Brand) on the wrap, topped with the egg&venison omelette and folded. Seriously amazing.
