Peanut Butter Banana Protein Donuts with Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze

Holy shitballs I haven't posted anything in a while.  These delicious babies are great for breakfast, pre or post workout due to the high carb, low fat nature.

WHATCHOO NEED:

For Donuts:

40g oat flour

½ scoop Metabolic Nutrition* Protizyme Peanut Butter Cookie Protein

1/2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp xanthan gum

Pinch of salt

1 jar banana baby food (2-2.5 oz)

100g egg whites

About 2 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk

For glaze:

1 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder

1 tbsp PB2

Stevia to taste

Water

MIX THAT SHIT UP:

Mix the dry ingredients for the donuts together.  Stir in the baby food and egg whites.  Slowly add in a bit of almond milk until the batter is a bit thicker than the consistency of pancake mix (took about 2 tbsp).  Pour into 4 wells of a greased and floured donut pan. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.  Invert donuts onto a cooling rack.  Meanwhile mix the glaze.  The amount of water you use will depend on how thick you want your glaze to be.  Glaze the donuts and NOMS!

*Please note I am not affiliated with Metabolic Nutrition.  You can use whatever brand of protein you want, but I can't guarantee you'll get the same delicious results.  After years of baking with protein I have found that theirs is SUPERIOR when it comes to baking.  It doesn't yield a weird rubbery texture that most proteins do.

Chocolate Almond Mousse Parfait

Well... its been a hot minute since I've posted any recipes.  But I'll start posting more regular.  Swear to Blog! 

I put cottage cheese in a lot of my clients plans and I get complaints of "I hate the texture".  So ummmm... yeah, change the texture.  So here we go...

CHOCOLATE ALMOND MOUSSE PARFAIT

150g fat free cottage cheese
1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Using a hand blender, regular blender, or food processor, combine all ingredients except the strawberries and sliced almonds.  Beat that shit until its fluffy.  Layer it in a glass with sliced strawberries, top with almonds.  BAM!  Dessert in 5 minutes.   I promise if I served this to guests they'd never know they were eating cottage cheese.

Sweet and Spicy Mustard Dressing

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love mustard.  There are currently 8 types of mustard in my kitchen.  My egg whites are naked without it.  So I decided I needed to whip up some salad dressing using mustard since it's such a diet friendly condiment.  An ounce is about 18 calories, 1 g fat, 1 g carbs, 1 g protein, and NO sugar.  Thus my food gets drowned in it.  So here's my guiltless salad dressing.

PLEASE NOTE: These are guestimated measurements.  I just started throwing shit in a small bowl and mixing with a fork until it looked salad dressingy.  Shuddup, that's totally a word.
2 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp stevia (or whatever sweetener you use)
dash of cayenne pepper

Yup, that's it.  And it's FABULOUS!

Lazy-ass Lemon Ginger Basil Chicken

Mmmmmmm... flavory.  Anyone who knows me is well aware of the fact that I am lazy as fuck.  Yes, I go to the gym and bust my ass, but I will practice some incredible feats of counter-balancing to carry all my groceries from my car into my apartment in one trip.  I will do universal loads of laundry mixing my whites and my colors together because let's face it, I don't really give a shit if my gym socks and sweat towels aren't gleaming white like a frickin Clorox commercial.  Thus the slow cooker has become my BFF.  Don't tell my actual BFF that because he's a big half black man and he'll beat the shit out of me for saying he's been replaced by a kitchen appliance.  WTF was I talking about?  Oh yeah, chicken.  I have decided that prepping my chicken in a slow cooker is the greatest thing ever, since it stays so moist even after reheating and takes very little effort on my part thus leaving me more time to be lazy.  So here you go, Lazy Ass Lemon Ginger Basil Chicken.

Whatchoo Need:
4 chicken breasts (thawed, frozen, doesn't matter)
Fat free chicken broth
1/2 fresh lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tbsp fresh ginger root
1/2 cup fresh basil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix That Shit Up:
Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner so you don't have to clean it after (yay laziness!)
Dust the chicken titties with salt, pepper and ground ginger and place them in the slow cooker.  Add enough chicken broth to reach the top of the chicken.  Add the lemon juice.  Dice the fresh ginger root (or use a garlic press if you're extra lazy), slice the lemon, shred the basil and add them to the slow cooker.  Cover and cook on high for about 4-5 hours. D-U-N, DONE!  I like to shred the chicken with a fork (read: my fingers) because it's moist enough that it just falls apart.  You can remove and toss the lemon slices or just leave them in there and eat them.  They cook and soften as well.  Extra flavor yo!

Green Monsta Eggs

Okay, going to name these after my friend Milenka the Green Monsta since she referred me to my awesome coach.  Sorry for the blurry pic and the fact that there are some eggs missing (couldn't help but dive in right away).

Whatchoo need:
5 eggs
50 g avocado
55 g fat-free cottage cheese
salt
pepper
lime
2 tbsp fresh salsa (or diced tomatoes, onion and cilantro)
paprika

Mix that shit up:
Hard boil, cool and peel the eggs. Half them lengthwise.  Toss the yolks or give them to your dog, whatevs.  Add the avocado and cottage cheese to a bowl.  Mash together with a fork until blended.  Add 2 tbsp fresh salsa and mix.  Add salt, pepper and lime to taste.  Scoop the avocado mixture into the eggs, sprinkle with paprika.
