Plant Protein!!

I'm always on the look out for good products that have low carbs, no sugar and lots of nutrients! This one fits the bill!

I received an email last week from The Green Smoothie Girl and she's promoting the kick off of her new Plant-Based Protein powder!! and for the next week she has a sale, BUY 2 Get 1 FREE!! i decided to give it a a try, because i was planning on getting more Atkins shakes last week anyway. The nice think about this plant based protein mix is that it doesn't have ANY sugar in it (and the Atkins one does.) Also, it has a total of 2 Net Carbs!  (score!) It's slightly sweetened by Stevia which doesn't effect your blood sugar!

The powder come in Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate. I've tried all and they are not the most tasty shakes I've ever had, but i really feel satisfied and I have lots of energy. My favorite is the Strawberry! you can mix it with water but i use 8 oz of Unsweetened Almond Milk!

Side note: With the buy 2 get 1 sale each serving comes out to be $0.79! can't beat that!

You Won’t Believe it’s Cauliflower Pizza Crust

1 cup riced cauliflower, raw is fine

1 egg

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 tsp oregano

2 tsp parsley

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

tomato sauce

toppings (make sure meats are cooked)

mozzarella cheese, for top

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella and spices. Press evenly on the pan. 

Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe).

Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese.

Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted **.

This site HERE is where i got the idea for this recipe. Genius... pure Genius! I have made a few adjustments to my personal preferences!

Spinach, peperoni and cheese perfection!

Chocolate-Spinach Breakfast Shake

 My Mother-in-law introduced me to these Atkins Shakes!! They are pretty amazing esp. if you have a crazy morning and don't have time to cook an amazing Eggs and Bacon breakfast like you want to.... They come in a few different flavors, including Vanilla and Strawberry! 

0nly 2 net Carbs!

 This morning I actually added a small handful of baby spinach and ice to my smoothie... nice way to get your greens in and not even know it. It will add about 1 Ne Carb to your shake, but it's well worth it!

Mmmmmm!
