Angie: why not post a recipe that has worked well for you in terms of staying under calories and was healthy? My post (recipe) was pretty basic but it's been a "go-to" meal that has helped me stay on track for my weight reduction goals. That's what I'm interested in, at least, real recipes for real life.

I totally enjoyed my day of rest! Spent most of it in the car traveling. Overall it was a lively day. I am shaking in my shoes because this mornings weight was UP 0.8 pounds! I pushed through blood, sweat and tears this week to make it a great week. Tomorrow is official weigh in and I can only pray it is down.

OK, on to the recipe. I love sweet coffee drinks and this is my favorite post run treat.

In a blender combine:
1 scoop Designer Whey Chocolate 100 cal protein powder
1 cup leftover coffee or 1 cup water
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese - Adds substantial protein and makes it super creamy. You will not taste cottage cheese!
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp Torani sugar free caramel syrup - adjust to taste
1 tbsp splenda or sweetener of choice - adjust to taste
1-2 tsp instant coffee
8-10 ice cubes

blend on high until creamy and frothy. Makes about 40 ounces so can be split to serve 2 people

Entire 40 ounces:
Calories - 180
Carbs - 11 grams
Fat - 3 grams
Protein - 32 grams

I enjoy this along with a fresh peach or apple and am good to go for 4-5 hours.
