This is one of my favorite go-to recipes...Careful, they are very addictive!!!
1/2 c. natural nut butter
2 scoops protein powder, any flavor
2 T. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 cup oats
1/4 c. honey
stevia to taste
Mix all ingredients together and roll into balls. You may have to add a little water to get it to come together. I usually roll them into one inch balls, but you can also make them into bars. Keep them in the fridge, they are great for before and after workouts (or anytime really, lol!) . You can also add all kinds of ingredients to them, unsweetened coconut, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc. My kids love them too!
made these before but just made them again after reading this.. i add flax seed. dried cranberries would taste awesome too!!0 -

As promised (sorry its late) my PORTUGUESE BEEF TRINCHADO recipe!
What you need:
1 kg rump steak cubed/strips
1 large onion finely sliced
50ml Worcestershire sauce
1 cup red wine
3/4 cloves crushed garlic
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
2/3 small red chilies chopped/chillie powder
3/4 tablespoons flour
Butter and oil for frying
Water
The process:
Create a marinade by adding the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, wine, salt, pepper, paprika, chilies and bay leaf and give it a mix.
Add the beef, stir to coat the beef and then cover with cling film and set aside in the fridge to marinade. You must let it marinade for at least 2 hours but overnight is best. This ensures that the beef is very tender and the flavors permeate right through the meat.
In a pot with some butter sauté the onions on a medium heat until translucent and then remove and set aside.
Dust the beef with flour and fry in a little oil on high to brown all over. Add the onions back into the pan with whatever marinade is remaining. Reduce the heat, add a little water to create the sauce, mix well and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Check on it every now and then and add water to make a nice amount of sauce.
The sauce will thicken from the flour the meat was coated in.
This is spicy and delicious and should be served with potato wedges, chips or a nice crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
Traditionally you should have a few Olives on the side but not the end of the world.
YUM!!

I discovered a great protein packed snack yesterday I thought I'd share.
1 serving of Whole Grain Crackers (34 Degrees) - About 9 crackers = 35 calories
2 oz Oven Baked Chicken (Boars Head) = 50 calories
Light Cream Swiss Wedge (Laughing Cow) = 35 calories
Yellow Mustard = zero calories
Spread cheese and mustard on each cracker and top with a bit of the chicken. So Yummy!

Almond Coconut Chia Butter
1 Tbsp = 75 calories, 4 carbs, 7g fat, 2g protein, 2g fiber
• 2 cups raw almonds, pan roasted (or just by roasted almonds)
• ¼ cup shredded, unsweetened, reduced fat coconut (I use “Let’s Do Organic”)
• ¼ c honey (or use 2 packets of stevia to save a few calories)
• 2 TBSP chia seeds
• 1 tsp sea salt
Toss all into a food processor and process the heck out of it. Can take 10 minutes or so.
Makes 24 serving of 1 TBSP each.
I like mine a bit “crumbly”, but if you’d like yours smoother, reduce the amount of coconut and process a bit longer.

Here's a link on the benefits of almonds/nuts http://www.superfoodsrx.com/superfoods/walnuts/
And re: chia seeds... http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/29/are-chia-seeds-a-superfood/
"They are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants, a good source of calcium, a good source of plant based protein and an excellent source of the plant derived omega 3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) ALA similar to walnuts and flax. As with any nut or seed, they are low in saturated fat and contain no cholesterol, but like all nuts and seeds they are more calorie dense, 139 calories per ounce, so it is important to watch serving sizes and consume in moderation.
When chia seeds are combined with liquid (like water, milk, juice or yogurt), they form a gel due to the soluble fiber that they contain. This may have some benefit in terms of weight loss (although the research in this area is scant) by helping you feel fuller longer and also by delaying the increase in blood sugar of foods that you consume which contain chia seeds."0 -
