Breakfast Shrimp Tacos

Not rocket science here peeps, just good nutrition that will keep you satisfied through the morning.

Whatchoo Need:
50 grams grilled shrimp
3 egg whites
1/2 cup spinach
2 small low-carb tortillas (I used theses http://latortillafactory.com/products-3.aspx)

Mix That Shit Up:

Grill the shrimp by whatever method you chose.  I just grilled them in a pan with garlic and a bit of olive oil Pam spray.  If I need to tell you how to scramble egg whites, then I don't think we can be friends any more.  Throw the spinach and shrimp into the egg whites while scrambling.  Place the tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel, microwave for 30-45 seconds.  Divide up eggs evenly into the tortillas.  You can top with other things like salsa or Tabasco or Tapatio, though I didn't think they needed anything.

Chocolate Peppermint Meringue Puffs

Game recognize game.  Shot out to my homie at http://www.vanillabeanlean.com/  She is living proof that ANYONE can find time to eat healthy and yummy food!  One of my favorite recipes she posted is the Egg Puffs.  Why?  Because they're super easy to make, super quick, and fun to experiment with.  Here's my egg puff experiment of the day...

Chocolate Peppermint Meringue Puffs

Whatchoo Need:

3 egg whites

2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp stevia or other sweetener

1/2 tsp peppermint extract

OPTIONAL: 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

Mix That Shit Up:

Whip the living shit out of the egg whites using whatever manner you have available to you.  I used an electric hand mixer.  Whip until egg whites thicken and form stiff peaks.  (Then start giggling because I said "stiff" and you know your sense of humor is just as dirty as mine.)  Then add in the other shit until well mixed.

Bake on wax or parchment paper at 350 for 8 minutes.  THAT'S IT!  Super quick and easy recipe!

Key Lime Pie



Okay, so its not really a pie, more like a cake.  Whatevs, it's INSPIRED by Key Lime Pie, tastes like one, and yeah. 

Whatchoo Need:
1 scoop Vanilla protein (I used Dymatize Elite Gourmet Vanilla)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp stevia (or other sweetener)
1 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt
3 tbsp lime juice
Graham Cracker flavored Capella drops (can be purchased here http://www6.netrition.com/capella_flavor_drops.html)

Mix that shit up:
Mix the protein, baking powder and sweetener together.  Add in 3 tbsp of lime juice and mix carefully lest you desire to have powder all over the place.  Add in the Greek yogurt and 5 drops of Graham Cracker Capella and stir until its blended.  Pour into a greased oven safe bowl or ramekin.  Bake at 350 degrees for 9 minutes.  I like this one underbaked so its a little gooier and more like a pie consistency.
