One recipe that I like is for my protein drink.

What I use is:

1.) 1 - cup skim milk or 1% milk.

2.) 1 - scoop Pure Protein Whey Protein 25g Premium Protein Vanilla Cream (powder).

3.) 1 - banana and/or 5 to 10 cherries (pitted) and/or peaches (about 2 to 3 oz.).

I blend them all together in the blender for 30 seconds to 35 seconds to make sure it has been mixed well. Boy! Does it come out good.

When it come to the cherries and the beaches I take the skin of the peaches (fresh kind), the cherries when season I get the fresh kind, when the cherries are out of season I buy the frozen kind. You can use the frozen peaches too if you want to save some time in peeling and cutting up the fresh peaches, same thing with the cherries.

My latest recipe is Coconut shrimp.

  • 1lb Cooked and Deveined Shrimp (I like to use the smallest ones as they generally come with tails removed)
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (Its hard to find unsweetened.  If sweetened is all you can find you can spread it out on a sieve and rinse it, squeeze the heck out of it, do this over and over til the water runs clear.  Then let it dry out on the sieve.
  • Spice it how you like.  I use Cayenne pepper and garlic powder
  • 1 Beaten Egg
  • Coconut oil

First blend the coconut flakes to make them extra fine.  Put your chosen spices with the coconut flakes.  Dip the shrimp in the egg and then roll in the coconut flakes quickly so you do not pick up too much crust.  Heat your frying pan with coconut oil.  A little bit goes a long way.  Keep the pan wet and fry the shrimp until they are golden brown on both sides.

As far as dipping sauces go I use a Pineapple and Habanero salsa and drizzle it over my serving. 

Family loves this one!
