Recipe thread - 04/07/11 03:20 AM
I enjoy cooking. Actually, I love cooking. I thought I'd start with a couple of desert recipes since the weather is starting to warm up.
The challenges I go through in meal preperation are finding different meals that are still healthy and fit within my times I have calorie counting necessities/obsession (I'm about to start another physique transformation contest).
I'll update this thread weekly.
Chocolate chip muffins
� cup unsalted butter, 4 whole omega-3 eggs (or can not use O-3 eggs), � cup coconut milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 cups whole wheat flower, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp splenda, � cup chocalate chips, � cup dried fruit (chopped), 6 scoops chocolate protein powder.
Preheat oven to 350. Put all ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Lightly coat a non-stick muffin pan with spray and fill each muffin tin almost ot the top. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the top is set. Now, cool and store in the fridge/freezer.
Serves 6 large or 12 small.
Small serving-
279 calories, 13 grams fat, 26 grams carbs, 15 grams protein
Strawberry coconut pudding (I LOVE this one)
� cup low-fat cottage cheese, � cup coconut milk, � cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 tsp splenda
Combine all ingredients into blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Add more strawberries to thicken or water to thin.
Serves 1 large or 2 small
Small serving details-
135 calories, 8 grams fat, 6 grams carbs, 11 grams protein
I like to put this one in the freezer and let set until it�s basically a frozen yogurt. I know the cottage cheese sounds weird�but trust me, it�s fantastic.
