I like: vanilla protein powder, oatmeal, 1/2 a banana, frozen mixed berries, almond milk, some ice cubes and spinach ... don't knock it till you try it!!

If you're looking for some different ways to use protein power, a blog I like to visit is http://couched.blogspot.com/. Loads of recipes using protein powder!!

Bump!

I have to try this out ;)

I leave the chickpeas intact.

No-Bake Protein Bars 12 – 16 servings (depends on the size of your baking/casserole dish) Ingredients 1 cup of almond milk (original; unsweetened) 3 scoops of whey protein powder (chocolate or vanilla) 3 cups of rolled oats 1/2 cup of natural peanut (or almond) butter 1/2 cup of dark-chocolate chips or dried cranberries…

What a great idea - thanks for sharing!!

This sounds delicious - thanks for sharing ;)

I make a weekly menu as well and base my grocery list off the menu - that way I save money by not wasting foods. My first step is to look at the flyers to see what is on sale and I then base my menu around that. After looking at the flyers I usually have a few gaps to fill so I go through my recipe books and see what jumps…

Correct - just leave them as is. No baking required :)

Thanks for this reply!! It's exactly what I was going to say!! For me, it's not just the calories that count - I look at the nutrients and how "unprocessed" something is. Yes, you can have a bowl of ice cream for 110 calories but it's filled with chemicals and a million ingredients that you can't pronounce!! Plus, you're…

Bump!!

Bump - these sound delish!!

They aren't very big - maybe 3 cm x 3 cm. But they are very filling ... you wouldn't want to eat more than that.

I've never heard of that stuff before. Did you get a chance to try making the balls with it? If so, what were the results?

You might want to try adding a little more honey next time. It's pretty much the honey that holds them together. If you're still having trouble try sticking them together as good as you can and then stick them in the fridge and they'll harden to the point where you can eat them.

Same here - I took my name off the mailing list because of all the processed foods her recipes call for!!!

I usually use an 8 x 8 casserole dish.

Bump - thanks for posting!!

When I make them with PB I use regular Kraft smooth PB and when I make them with AB I use Maranatha Natural AB (no salt, roasted).

One of my favorite healthy eating blogs is http://www.fannetasticfood.com. I always find lots of great recipes to try :)

Yum - this sounds great!!

Here's one of my fave recipes containing lentils. And, it freezes well :) Red Lentil Curry 8 servings Ingredients 2 cups red lentils 1 large onion, diced 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 tablespoons curry paste 1 tablespoon curry powder 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon salt…

I find it filling enough to eat on its own or sometimes I'll serve it over rice, couscous or quinoa so that I have something to soak up all of the juices. It would be good with a flat bread or salad as well.

I have made it with ground flax and it does turn out. But, I prefer it with flax seed. I hadn't heard about losing the Omega 3's when eating it whole. I'll have to look into that.

It makes 6 - 8 servings ... sorry forgot to specify that!!

Yum - this sounds awesome!!

Wow - this sounds super yummy!! Thanks for sharing!!

Sometimes I like to take cooked spaghetti squash and saute it in a pan with some olive oil, 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 to 2 tsp minced ginger. Makes for a yummy side dish.
