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

Whatchoo Need:
150g fat free cottage cheese
1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tbsp stevia (or other sweetener)
pure almond extract
60g strawberries
14g sliced almonds

Mix that shit up!
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.
