    A quick one for me is greek yogurt/cottage cheese with 1/2 c granola or kashi cereal mixed in and frozen or fresh berries.
    I workout at night so a protein shake with casein is my go-to:

    Ingredients:
    6 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1/2 banana
    1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
    1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
    1 scoop whey protein powder
    Honey, to taste (optional)
    Ice cubes

    Directions:
    Blend all ingredients in a blender.

    Makes 1 serving

    Macros (Macros will vary depending on what kind of milk you use & if you use honey. The macros listed below are from Oxygen Magazine):
    Calories: 360
    Fat: 7 g
    Carbs: 36 g
    Sugar: 24 g
    Protein: 42 g

    On my non-work out nights I make casein pudding:
    1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate casein powder
    1/2c fat free milk or what you prefer
    1 tblsn nut butter
    +/- cocoa nibs or dark chocolate chips

    Mix together in a small bowl and enjoy.

    Hi kel_be,
    what is casein powder?? a protein powder?
    Casein is a slow digesting protein, usually taken at night so that because it takes 6-10 hours to digest. It's thicker than whey protein, like a malt consistency, and great in baked goods. So the 2nd recipe is more like a pudding.

    You can also drink fat free milk (it's bo&h whey + casein proteins) or have a serving of cottage cheese before bed. I try to have some type of casein before bed, either the shake I listed as my post workout shake because I workout at night or the cookie dough/pudding recipe on my non workout nights or wanting something sweet.
  • I found this paleo chocolate that is divine!

    Here is the link to the recipe:

    It has only 5 ingredients and is very simple. I found the mini muffin liners too big of a serving. So I poured it onto wax paper in little disks. (It was wonderful poured over cashews.) I used natural peanut butter.

    I make Strawberry Balsamic & Black Pepper Jam. A dollop of that stuff on a banana is heaven.
