Hi! I'm looking for a clean eating book that I could use.
Id love meals and protein bars recipes if you know a recipe book that only contains one let me know!

A few stipulations though...
1) i'm lactose intolerant. So limited use of milk/cream products. I can tolerate yogurt though.
2) seafood/fish allergy. CANT eat. So there can be a couple recipes but not many if possible!
3) tree nut allergy(everything except peanuts) Cant have these or easily substitued out.

ANYTHING would be wonderful! I've had some issues finding decent books and constantly flipping through books at the store is getting old.

    Eat Like An Athlete - Homemade protein bars

    5 servings
    8 scoops chocolate protein
    1 cup porridge oats
    1/2 cup almond milk (almonds okay? you can substitute any nuts here)
    3 tablespoons flaxseeds or sliced almonds
    3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter (crunchy is too hard to mix evenly)
    3 tablespoons honey
    1 tablespoon of nutella or chocolate spread (optional)
    Mix everything together, if it's too dry add more milk or water. Get a baking tray and either coat it with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set the mixture into the dish and put it into the fridge overnight at (or an hour at the very least)

    Nutrition facts: 300 calories, 40 grams protein, 18 grams carbs, 8 grams fat (without nutella)

    Eat Like An Athlete - Coconut chicken and rice curry

    Ingredients for 2 servings:
    2 slices of skinless chicken breast (roughly 280g)
    100g of long grain rice
    1 400ml can of coconut milk (you can use reduced fat coconut milk which is half the calories and dietary fat)
    100g of sliced mango (more if you like of course!)
    40-60ml of grapefruit juice
    Juice of one lime
    One heaped teaspoon of ginger (pureed ginger is fine too)
    Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
    Salt
    Black pepper
    Crushed chillies (only if you like spicy food!)

    Instructions:

    This part is optional but gives extra flavour: Mix the grapefruit juice, mango, lime juice, ginger, cinnamon in a bowl. Add the chicken to this sauce and leave overnight. Add salt/pepper/chillies if you want.

    Cook the rice in salted water as you would, but subtract that from the amount of water you normally use to cook the rice by adding the coconut milk (it might be lumpy, but don’t worry, they’ll break up as the water heats up).

    Remove the chicken from the sauce and slice into pieces. Place them into a non stick pan with 1 cal cooking spray (or 1 tablespoon of lime juice) and cook for about 5 minutes on a medium high heat.

    At this point check the rice and make sure the lumps are broken down, otherwise get a spoon and break them yourself.
    Add the sauce to the pan and reduce the heat to medium low (it might be quite thin, but it will reduce down) and cook for about 12-15 minutes.

    I don't think I've forgotten anything so now you can plate it all up and enjoy!

    INGREDIENTS and INSTRUCTIONS (by Phil Learney)

    Throw all of the below ingredients into a big pot and cover to the top with water. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.

    600g New Potatoes 0.84p
    200g Sweet Potato 0.29p
    200g Parsnips 0.34p

    After 40 Minutes add the below ingredients and cook for a further 15 mins.

    400g Chicken 3.70p
    150 Basmati Rice 0.19p

    Serve with Steamed Broccoli

    1kg Broccolli 1.35p

    This in total costs is £13.43 and therefore costs even at MY LARGE servings £2.23 a MEAL! 10 servings for £1.35 EACH!

    Assuming 10 Servings it's:

    300Cals
    29g Protein

    I'd say thats Pretty damn good! Maybe sear the meat in a little Olive or Coconut oil to bring the fats up a little.

    Anyone who says eating well is expensive are talking RUBBISH!
