    I posted this on the message boards, but wanted to share here because these are so yummy!

    Chocolate Mint Protein Fudgesicles

    1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
    1 container 0% Fage Greek yogurt
    1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk
    1 tbsp + 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 tbsp protein powder (I used Optimum Nutrition Extreme Milk Chocolate)
    2 tbsp Splenda or stevia
    3/4 tsp peppermint extract

    Put everything in the blender and blend until smooth. Divide evenly into six Popsicle molds. I bought mine on Amazon for $10. Freeze 4 hours or until firm.

    1 Fudgesicle
    55 calories
    1g fat
    4g carbs
    8g protein

    They really satisfy my craving for chocolate!!

    Thank YOU! @mgobluetx12

    EAS Complete Protein (Vanilla is pretty good) 3 scoops (73g)
    Frozen fruit - Triple Berry (Raspberries, Blackberries and Blueberries) 70g
    Milk, 2% 8 fl oz (236 ml)
    Handful of ice.

    Blend well, serves 1 as a meal replacement.

    Calories - 375
    Protein - 46g
    Potassium - 750g
    Fat - 7g
    Carbs - 41g
    Fiber - 7g

    These are fine if you're not trying to stick with low-carb meals or if you don't have to watch your sugar intake (27g of sugars in it). If you *do* need to watch out for those things, there are alternative options that are available but the flavor part of it is hit or miss and varies from person to person.

    For those with digestive issues (yes, I'm talkin' to you CJ) I'd recommend adding fiber to the shake - there's a lot of different types out there, Metamucil or whatever floats your boat and works for you. Doing that will make the shake process slower in your system and could help get more benefit from it.

    The taste of this shake is really awesome - Definitely a favorite of mine and it fills me up for hours. Have one at 0830 and I won't even be interested in eating until 1130 or later.

    This is now my go-to breakfast and I enjoy it and then a cup of iced, black coffee.

    This Moroccan chickpea stew is favorite of mine, plus you can log it from the site. I usually double up the spices (we like spicy) and sometimes use chicken stock and add chicken breast. Enjoy, and let me know if you try it!

    I bought this Kindle cookbook a few years ago and have a few favorites from here...it's $1.99 and though small, well worth it. It's healthy chicken recipes from Prevention Magazine.

    Pesto Recipe

    Ingredients

    1 bunch basil or herbs – 2 cups packed herbs, basil, lemon balm, oregano2 tablespoons of lemon juice

    1 garlic glove smashed

    Zest of 1 lemon

    3 tablespoons of pine nuts

    ½ cup of olive oil

    Method

    Smash garlic clove with mortar and pestle. Add zest, lemon juice, salt. Add herbs and gently smash, while rotating mortar until you have a nice creamy sauce. Alternatively, you can blend ingredients in a small food processor until combined (do not over blend or you will burn up essential oils in herbs).

    I love a good pesto and we have made both types above and
    I have some other recipes for pesto here: stylingwithcjdsign.blogspot.com/2015/10/pinyon-pine-pickin-friday-foods.html

    This looks amazing! I have trouble getting enough protein in, seeing as I pretty much hate most meat including chicken!
    I love vegetables and legumes though, so this stew looks really good to me with the chickpeas...yum!
    Thanks for sharing. <3

    You know you're right. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I used to get the veggie burgers and notice that there is a full line of stuff that is 'vegetarian meats', even chicken nuggets.
    I guess my fear always was that it would taste too much like meat, and that's a deal breaker for me. But at this point it sure is worth a try.
    Thank you for reminding me.

    Beef Mushroom Gravy that's low-carb, AIP- compliant, and delicious! Still simmering it down, so I don't have the full nutritional info yet. Simple recipe, too: 3 cups beef broth 4-5 Tablespoons mushroom powder (about 0.5 ounce) Salt to taste (other herbs/ seasonings as your diet allows) Blend together, then simmer to reduce and thicken. Freezes well, I freeze into 4- and 8-oz canning jars so I can thaw enough for a couple days at a time. To make Mushroom Powder, put dried mushrooms in your coffee/ spice grinder and pulverize them. Wait 10 minutes or so to let the dust settle before opening the grinder. When my broth doesn't have much fat in it, I've added butter. from Cheesy567
