Hit Me With Your Best Recipes!

I think we should swap favorite meals/ recipes. I know sometimes it is hard to get in that extra protein or cut down on those delicious carbs!

Instead of stressing, maybe we could swap ideas on what we eat to fuel our amazing bodies!

I'll go first (and will probably post in this thread as often as I can!)

My "Power Smoothie"

2 cups of spinach
1 medium banana
4 - 6 strawberries
1 tablespoon of natural creamy peanut butter
3/4 of a cup of FAGE 0% plain Greek yogurt
1/10 of a cup of flax seeds
1 cup of water OR a few ice cubes (depends on what consistency you want!)

Cut up, put in blender, mix, and ENJOY

Calories: 401
Carbs: 49
Fat: 11
Protein: 25

** pending on if I need more protein for the day, I'll add a scoop of vanilla soy protein powder (I currently have eas)
If you add that, here are the stats:

Calories: 571
Carbs: 68
Fat: 13
Protein: 45


For me, adding spinach that first time was SO WEIRD. I thought it would taste NASTY. However, the spinach has no taste. I really just taste the peanut butter and the banana.

So, what do you guys fuel your bodies with?!

I call this "Tuna Skillet (Okra and Corn)" I took the liberty of adding it to the database

You will need:

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cans albacore tuna, drained
1 cup frozen okra, sliced
1 can corn, drained
1 large onion, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 of a lemon's juice
Seasonings to fit your taste

What you do:

Heat oil on medium heat
Add celery, onion, and okra (cook 5 min)
Add tuna (cook 2-3 min)
Add corn (cook 1-2 min)
Reduce heat
Add parsley and lemon juice

*Serve over brown rice (calories not included)*

This will serve 4 people at 307 calories, approximately 1 cup servings (estimate)

2 Cups - butt rub (mix of 13 different spices)
10tps - yellow mustard
1/2 cup - brown sugar

Mop Sauce

2cups - Apple Cider Vinegar
1cup - white vinegar
2tbps - chopped red peppers
1tbps - salt


To cook:

1 - Get a Big Green Egg
2 - Use georgia lump charcoal
3 - Use 1/2lb mesquite lump + 1lb cherry wood

Cook at 225 degrees for 15 hours. Pull off, let sit for 1 hour. Next pull the meat.

This makes about 6lbs of pulled pork which should last 2 people an entire week. You can make salads, chile verde, sammiches ect with it.

Peanut butter balls
Love these but I'll warn you, they are addictive!!!!

1/4 c. Natural peanut butter
1/2 c. Oats
2 T. Ground flaxseed or chia seeds
2 T. Honey
1 scoop protein powder
1 packet stevia
2 T. Cocoa powder

I've added all kinds of things...coconut, chocolate chips, etc. They are great preworkout or for when you feel like something sweet.

My other standbys are Jamie eason's turkey meatloaf muffins, her protein bars (available on bodybuilding,com) and assorted recipes from clean eating magazine. Enjoy!
