Hola challengers!
Sorry it took me a bit to post, my mother is having surgery today so I've been a bit busy this morning.
Today is Tuesday Recipe share! I am obsessed with Pinterest and am so excited to share with you the recipes I have found and tried. The particualr recipe I'm sharing today you will see constantly in my diary, because thats how great it is!
So who here loves pancakes???? ME!
Who hates the calories and carbs packed within them???? ME!
So here is a recipe perfect for a post workout meal. This recipe is also very easily adjustable.
1/4-1/3 cup of low fat(or fat free) cottage cheese
1 scoop of protein powder (I use chocolate)
1 egg white
- - - - - - - - -
(optional ingredients I like to add sometimes)
*1 tbls peanut butter
*1 tbls ground flax seed
That's it! Pour into non stick pan and make like pancakes.
Makes 3 good sized pancakes!
Add some fruit, honey or sugar free syrup on top!
(I use strawberries and light agave nectar)
I would give nutritionals but it will all vary depending on the optional ingredients and what kind of protein powder you use.
My version with the flaxseed and peanut butter usually ends being under 350 calories.
I would love to hear any great recipes you may have if you'd like to share!
Hope you are all having a happy and healthy week so far!
:happy:

Those of you in the UK may have been following the latest Hairy Bikers series - Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight. I made their Skinny Beef Lasagne tonight - 354 calories per portion - lovely stuff! Find it here :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/skinny_beef_lasagne_872770

My recipe share will be my lighter version of Pizza Burgers:
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 jar ragu homestyle pizza sauce
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Fat Free)
Whole Wheat English Muffins
Brown the beef and then drain any grease (with the extra lean there usually isn't any but I still like to pat it down with paper towels). Add the pizza sauce and simmer until heated through. Take one english muffin and half it. Spoon a little of the mixture onto each half. Top each half with mozz. cheese and stick in oven on broil until cheese is melted. Each serving (2 halves) is around 250 calories depending on the brands you use. I usually serve with salad or low fat cottage cheese.0 -

My latest favorite meal is something I pulled together from stuff in the fridge:
2 slices of ezekiel bread
2 tbs hummus (the "classic" kind without the oil drizzle on top"
a bunch of torn cilantro
and a sprinkle of chipotle powder
Put the sammich together and I smoosh/toast it up on my countertop grill press thingy.0 -
My most recent favorite is Avocado Pasta... If you love avocados as much as I do you will love this!
1 avocado
handful of cilantro
clove of garlic (I use minced garlic, it's just easier)
1 TBSP of Lime (I use a little less because it can be very lime-y)
Mix all this in a food processor or blender.
Then cook any kind of pasta you like, I used wheat pasta macaroni shells, and cooked them.
Then mix all together while pasta is still warm, serve warm.
You can also add cherry tomatoes on top or anything that you like really.
The nutritional value will vary depending on the pasta and such, but mine was not quite 350 calories per serving! So yummy!
And on a side note, I drank my gallon of water today!0 -
These all sound fantastic!
I have been wanting to try the pizza burgers as well,
I'm not huge on red meat so I'm thinking I would give it a try with ground turkey?And on a side note, I drank my gallon of water today!
Great job girl!0 -
I'm eating low carb, but this super simple recipe would probably word for just about anyone, and it's delicious.

My Tuesday recipe:
Made eggs yesterday that were yummy. I admit upfront, I eat the yolks! You can go egg whites only!
*2 large eggs
*1/2 serving of preferred cheese (I use provolone or mozzarella)
*1/2 cup or so fresh spinach or about 1/4 cup frozen spinach (thawed)
*Dash of milk to make it a little fluffier
My version was about 190 calories.
The source I took the idea from used mushrooms also- I didn't have any on hand (mostly because I think they are gross.)0 -
One of my favorite things post work out is a smoothie I make. It's so yummy and only about 245 calories. It's a handful of baby spinach, 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, 1/2 cut fat free yogurt (plain), a medium banana, and 4-5 ice cubes. Then you blend
. I didn't think I would like it at first because I'm not a fan of spinach but I absolutely love it. I also turned my brother onto drinking it every day (he had the lap band and is trying to lose more since he actually gained weight) In fact my whole family loves this drink! 0 -
My tuesday recipe is what I made for dinner today! It's bit of a treat, but also low in calories! I love indulging in things you love but being able to make it for healthful to do so!

Sorry, I don't seem to be able to edit my post. 85g is one serving of tofu. You need to double that to ~170g0 -
Hey my recipe ist a pumpkin chicken salad. Coz you know ... Halloween 'n' stuff xD anyway ...
It serves 4. You need:
800gr pumpkin (butternut)
400gr of rocket salad
2 chicken breasts
200gr of wallnuts
2 tsp of Honey
2 red onions
salt / pepper
and for the dressing
4 tsp whole seed mustard
2 tsp apple vinegar (white balsamic would work as well)
1 to 2 tsp of honey or maple syrup
3 tsp of Oliveoil
For the dressing you just mix all those ingredients together - i always use a shaker but you know, you can just mix it anyway you like it ... if it's too sweet or not sweet enough or you like more or less anything ... well just add it or leave it out xD that's just how I like it
For the actual salad you cut the pumpkin into pieces, place them on a tray, salt/pepper to your liking and bake it (or put it under the grill) till it's all soft. Then cut the skin off and the rest into nice chunks.
Grill (or fry if you dont have a grill) the chicken breats and cut them into pieces. Use salt and pepper if you wish.
Chop the onions into tiny cubes and fry them till they get slightly browned.
Now, crush then nuts into little pieces and put them into a pan. Slowly fry them with no added fad. Keep an eye on them so they dont burn ... when they are nearly golden brown and done add the honey and stir it around for a while till the nuts are covered and a little caramalised.
Place the leaves on plates, divede the pumpin, then the chicken onto the rocket salad and add the wallnuts. (Season it if you want to) No sprinkle it all with the dressing ...
DONE - it's ddddddddddddddelicious
