Sunday Carbs

Hot day here again.
My BF and I went to see Smurfs - the movie.  So much fun... Being a kid again is so cool.

Another hot day here.

eats:
coffee + whip cream (out of almond milk)
protein cake (with peach)
protein shake
spagetti sauce with some veggies..
Peruvian style turkey (onions and peppers)

protein cake and cookies.  (need to make some cookies)


 

Oh, do share your protein cake and cookie recipes, iuf you haven't already!!!!

Today I'm back to accountability, because I'm not feeling that great after having had low-sugar, whole-grain cookies yesterday (whole-grain is still grain, so the curse may have been reduced, but not by much).


Today, back to basics:
B:  eggs hollandaise with spinach and lox, also coffee and cream
S:  an eas myoplex shake, part soy -- we'll see how that settles in
L:  hamburger, no bun
S:  fried cheese with marinara
D: chicken and asparagus

that'll be it for me -- about 110 gm protein

lol... I do not follow a recipe... and I use whey proteins (About time whey) to make the cake.

The simplest is same as for the flax muffin: 

1 egg, 1/4 cup protein powder. sweetener., 1 tsp almond milk, 1/4 tsp backing soda. To add some moisture - you can add 1 tsp oil or butter (melted) or coconut oil.  Mix all - microwave for 2-3 min. 

For a cake I used : (approximately)
2 eggs
1/4 cup almond oil
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
stevia (I used liquid - app 1-2 Tbs)

then mix 
1 cup protein powder with 2 tsp backing powder. 

mix the wet stuff, add the dry stuff and mix well.  needs to be a pudding like consistency. If too thick - add egg or egg whites, if too thin add proteins or flax meal.

Pour into backing dish... I dropped some cubed peaches inside. 
Bake at 375 for 20 -30 min.  

For cookies - I use the same base batter, then add fillers to make it thick: nuts, flax seeds, flax meal, protein crisps (see link).  Let it stand for 15-20 min. The flax meal will absorb some of the liquids - and then you can scoop the cookies on backing sheet and bake. 

I make a mixture of nuts seeds, protein crisps - the add to the batter as mixture. For cookies - need to add more sweetener. the fillers are not sweet - so need more to get sweet cookies. 
Pinch of salt is needed for the cake or the cookies. 

You can use splenda or splenda based syrups (Torani, DaVinci) as sweeteners (I can't tolerate splenda).  add flavors if you want.  Cake batter can be also make with nuts added, or with some fruits, or make as muffins.
