Topic: Protien packed crustless chicken pot pie

Hi All! I made up this recipe and I hope that some could use it! Feel free to add or substitute to your liking! This recipe is a bit involved (I love to cook) so this might be better suited for the foodies out there.

 

 

Protein: 22g per 1/2 c serving.

 

Ingredients:

Rotisserie Chicken (I get the largest one possible, debone and dice the chicken)

Low Fat Greek Yogurt (I used Fage 2%, I believe the container was 16 oz)

1 canReduced fat cream of chicken soup

2 Shallots (Diced-you can substitute for onion)

3-4 Large Carrots (peeled and diced)

1 package of frozen peas (I used a little more than half of the pack)

1tbs of butter

 

Optional topping:

Panko whole wheat bread crumbs (about 1/2 c)

2tbs of butter

 

You will want to boil your carrots until tender and steam your peas in the bag. Once both are cooked add 1tbs butter, peas, carrots and shallots to pan. I use the copper plated pans so that I can cut back on oils/butter. Allow to coo****il shallots are tender. I added sea salt and garlic powder while sauteing the veggies. Add in your diced chicken and allow to warm up.

 

Once your meat and veg mixture is warm, add into a bowl with 1 can of reduced fat cream of chicken and about 8 oz of greek yogurt. I then placed this mixture into an ungreased casserole dish and toasted the bread crumbs with butter in my copper pan. LIGHTLY top your dish with the bread crumbs and place in oven set to 350. I allowed my pot pie to cook for about 40 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden and mixture was bubbling.

 

ENJOY!

I would say that we don't fart around but with that much chili you really don't have a choice.

That's a huge amount of food for two adults and one child.  I better pack quickly and get out there.

We love chili in this household but unfortunately we don't have time to soak beans all the time. Below is a simple recipe that is high protein, good fiber and tastes darn good. Feel free to use, abuse and tweak this recipe to your heart's desire.

Three cans of low salt kidney beans.

Two cans of black beans.

Two medium red onions.

Two habaneros.

Cumin to taste.

Garlic to taste.

Two pounds of spicy pork sausage.

A can or jar of your favorite salsa.

About a half a cup of brown sugar.

Here is how I do it. Dump all of the beans, salsa and brown sugar  into a decent-size pot. Stir it up and throw it on medium heat. From there and this is really important, use a cast iron pan to cook the sausage and then add it to the beans. Then carmelize the onions and the habanero in the same cast iron pan that you used for the sausage. Add it to the mix! Dump in the Vampire repellent and the cumin until you are happy. Slowly bring it up to a boil stirring very regularly. Once you have a decent boil turn it down to a simmer and let it simmer for at least 4 hours. Enjoy!

Topic: RE: My new favorite breakfast-overnight oats with caramel premier

Try maple exctract with the vanilla...totally good!  Not as sweet as the caramel, but I still like it.  I've done  vanilla and added frozen blueberries too.  You will become addicted!

Yesterday I made a pudding with chocolate premier, chia seeds and fat and sugar free pudding mix.

 

makes 2 servings (for me)

1 premier protein

3tbs chia seeds

1/2 low fat/sugar pudding or mousse mix.

 

i would beat the pudding mix and premier, then add the chia seeds.  Stir after about an hour or two so the seeds do t clump too badly.  Next day stir and enjoy...amazeballs!

it thickens but not really thick, but still tastes awesome!

This is something I'd really like to try although I can only buy vanilla and chocolate here.  I'll squirt in a shot of caramel flavoring and see how it tastes..  Thanks for the idea!

Topic: Protein Waffles

These honestly taste like real deal waffles. So, so good!

 

Ingredients:

  • 15.50 g, Select Protein Snickerdoodle Flavor (one scoop)
  • 28 grams, Quest Protein Powder Multi Purpose Mix (one scoop)
  • 0.50 cup, Kodiak Cakes Protein Packed Power Cakes
  • 0.25 cup, Greek Yogurt, Plain
  • 0.25 cup, Liquid Egg Whites
  • 0.50 cup, Fairlife Skim Milk
  • 1.50 tsp, Baking Powder

 

Mix all ingredients in food processor or with a hand mixer. Spoon into waffle iron evenly and bake according to machine instructions. (Mine is about 2 minutes) 

I made 5 whole waffles, 20 individual squares. I keep them in the freezer in ziplock bags, 2 per bag and defrost as needed.

The original recipe called for 1 cup Oat Flour, but I used protein power cakes blend and greek yogurt for added protein and it works wonderfully. Enjoy.
