    Hey coach in a previous post you said you recommended protein + banana for post workout for those not using a true recovery drink. Sometimes I workout late. As in 8-9p. Happens a lot. Should I still add a banana?

  3. Coach Wayne says:

    Yes Marlon, after a workout you need some fast carbs and electrolytes. A banana is a great natural way to get that.

    Protein Pancakes!

    1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
    1/2 cup egg whites
    .75 scoop protein powder ( I use body fortress whey isolate)
    vanilla to taste

    Throw everything in a blender and when smooth cook as you would a normal pancake.

    234 cals; 0.6g fat; 9.5g carbs; 46 g protein
    Great for those trying to keep the carbs low. makes about 5 pancakes, but they’re fairly thin – a little more of a crepe/eggy texture because of the egg whites but I love them! They actually taste fine plain but are also awesome topped with natural PB, or even greek yogurt!

  5. Todd says:

    Kirstie, is that the total calorie, carb count for all 5 pancakes together or just one?

  6. Kirstie says:

    all of them!! but no topping

    1.5 tblspoon Low Sodium Soy
    1.5 tblspoon Fish Sauce (sold everywhere)

    -put all in crockpot before work, cook while at work on low. serve with steamed broccoli. If it fits, have it with brown rice.

    Real good, real easy.

    Mooless (Dairy free) Amazing chocolate pie!

    Note: You can use a homemade pie crust, but I am too lazy for that, so I purchase one that is dairy free like an Oreo pie crust. I know, I know, it doesn’t sound healthy, but that is why you don’t eat more than 1/8 of the pie at a time. Small amounts are fine, it is VERY rich. Load your ingredients in My Fitness Pal and it will calculate your calories, etc.

    Ingredients
    13 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
    1/3 cup coffee or chocolate liqueur
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 pound silken tofu, drained
    1 tablespoon honey
    1 (9-inch) pie crust

    Directions

    Place enough water in the bottom of a 4-quart saucepan to come 1 inch up the sides. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

    Melt the chocolate chips with the liqueur and vanilla in a medium metal bowl set over the simmering water, stirring often with a rubber or silicone spatula.

    Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture and honey in a blender or food processor and spin until smooth, about 1 minute.

    Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling sets firm.

    To keep this dairy free because I am allergic and use a tasty pie crust, I sometimes use the Oreo pie crust. I know it isn’t organic and all that healthy, but it isn’t horribly bad either.

    coach,

    I remember you mentioning that your wife make healthy bread. I am mistaken? If not could you please provide me the recipe? or if you have already shared that could you please point me to it.

    Thanks

    Spicy Turkey Meatloaf Muffins (Low-carb)

    1.25 lbs Extra Lean Ground Turkey 99/1
    1/2 cup Oatmeal
    4 Tbsp Salsa
    4 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
    1 Egg White

    Pick any seasonings of your choice. I personally use tabasco sauce, mrs. dash tomato basil garlic, garlic powder, and paprika.

    Use pam on muffin tray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake muffins for 25 minutes.

    These muffins are very tasty and great on the go. This recipe makes 10 muffins. Here are the nutrition facts for one:

    90 calories, 14 g protein, 3 g carbs, 2 g fats

    Kale Chips with Cool Ranch

    Bunch of Kale
    Olive Oil Pam
    Hidden Valley Dry Ranch Packet

    Wash the kale thoroughly. I use more than one bunch because it will shrivel like spinach. Cut the leaves from the stems. Place in a bowl. Heat oven to 250 degrees.

    In bowl, spray kale with enough Olive Oil pam to cover the leaves. Shake ranch packet over leaves and mix thoroughly.

    Spread onto cookie sheet. Bake in oven for about 50 minutes, or until the leaves are brittle and crisp. Turn about every 10 minutes.

    They taste like awesome! Enjoy!

    Not exactly a recipe but good resource for others looking for low fat/low carb recipe ideas. I stumbled upon skinnytaste.com a few months ago; some real gems in there. And after eating clean for a year it’s easy to create your own modifications as needed.

    Have you guys found the tortillas made by Smart & Delicious? They’re a high fiber/low carb tortilla. A 7″ tortilla shell is 50cal, 2g fat, 10g carb, 7g fiber & 5g protein. You can find them at Safeway & Fred Meyer if you have those stores nearby. They taste great and can easily fit into the Fat Shredder diet!
