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!

More Bacon, Please!

On my recent Costco visit I walked past this blue packaged beauty and the light bulb immediately went off.
THIS is a great way to add bacon to any meal with out having to take the time to fry it all up... it's also handy if you don't feel like smelling like bacon all day. (i actually love it, but, to each his own!)

Omelets, Salads, Soups, Cauliflower Pizza...Oh the list is endless!

Breakfast Sandwich Eggs

Hey remember this? My son and I are big fans of Amanda's Fax Buns. We especially love making them into breakfast sandwiches. Here is a quick tip on making your morning a little bit easier. After baking a batch of Flax Buns I wipe the whoppie tin clean, add more non-stick spray.  This is the perfect size for one large egg per space. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. About 10 minutes in take a knife or fork and pop the yoke. Premake your sandwiches using your favorite ingredients, wrap in parchment paper and place in a freezer bag. In the morning when it's time for a quick warm meal. Remove the parchment paper, wrap in a paper towel and microwave 1-2 minutes. Breakfast is served!

Cream Cheese Pancakes!

 Tastes like skinny fried cheesecakes!

Cream Cheese Pancakes

 

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese

8 eggs

4 tsps. stevia sweetener

2 tsps. cinnamon

Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet.  Blend until smooth.  Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle.  Pour the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray.  Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side.  Repeat with the rest of the batter.  Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries.  A surprisingly satisfying substitute for the real thing.  

Even if you aren't watching your carbs these are a delicious departure from the traditional doughy stack of pancakes.  And you won't have the sleepy feeling that usually comes afterwards!

Low Carb happiness, even for the kids!

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!
