Healthy Protein Waffle Recipe-Eat by Color Style!

CaptureKids love these and so will you.  Healthy, protein waffles you can make at home.  Why buy them at the store?  Store bought are high in carbs, sugar, preservatives and price.  Why not teach your kids about healthy eating and get them involved in the kitchen?

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

Beverly International UMP

Oatmeal or Pancake Batter

Strawberries

2 Eggs

Combine in a blender bottle….2 scoops of the UMP, 1 cup of the pancake batter (see box for instructions you are going to swap about half of the powder for UMP.)  Add water per box instructions.  Toss in both eggs.   Shake in the blender bottle.  You want a thick cake batter or cookie consistently poor into the waffle iron and you are done.  It is not uncommon for me to make 30 waffles and freeze most them.  Toss in the toaster and your kids have a great breakfast.

Protein Popsicles, Eat by Color Style!

IMG_2767

Limits exist only in our mind.  The more creative we can get the less there are limits.  Not sure there is a place more true than when we look at food and food choices.  Sometimes it just takes a little creativity to keep eating healthy from getting boring.

Here is an example of that.  Protein popsicles.  There is no limit the options with these.  Plus…kids LOVE THEM!!!  Not only that but kids enjoy getting involved in making them.  This is a great way to start teaching kids how to make better food choices and that taste good treats don’t need to come out of a box or bag.

Recipe:

4 Scoops of Beverly International UMP (protein is NOT protein and Beverly is the Rolls Royce of the industry….tastes great….even my kids love it!)

4 TBS Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt

Blend in a blenIMG_2769der or your favorite shaker cup.  Fill the popsycle molds and freeze.  Tomorrow you will have a great treat.   Each pair of popsycle is going to be around 200 calories and 20 grams of protein and a minimal amount of sugar. Compare this to the fat free, high in sugar store bought popsycles!

Eat By Color Gluten Free Brownies

brownie

 

Getting chocolate fingerprints on your Mustang steering wheel! Here ya go!

150g raw sweet potatoes
37g Beverly International chocolate Muscle Provider
1 tsp baking powder
2 pkts Stevia in the Raw
1 T Ghiradelli unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
15g Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4-1/2c brewed coffee

Spray foil with cooking spray. Seal sweet potatoes & one ice cube in foil packet & bake at 400 degrees for 55 minutes (yes, they’ll burn but that’s ok – you want that caramelization). Leave sweet potatoes sealed in foil pack until they cool (keeping the moisture in the packet will help release the caramelized potatoes from the foil). I’ll prep 4 pkgs of these at a time & keep them in the fridge to make one batch of brownies each day.

Mix together baked sweet potatoes, Muscle Provider, baking powder, stevia, cocoa powder, & vanilla until blended well & no hunks of sweet potato remain. Add in enough coffee to make a pourable batter. Pour mixture into a dish sprayed with cooking oil. Sprinkle chips over the top. Put baking dish in a cold oven & set temperature for 375. Bake for apx 25 minutes.

These Brownies would be a great once a week treat! Decadent, yet not as naughty as a regular brownie!

Carbs 48g

No Need to Skip Breakfast with these 5 Breakfasts in 5 Minutes!

5 Breakfasts in 5 Minutes

5 Breakfasts in 5 Minutes

 

 

I just made breakfast for the entire work week in less than 5 minutes and so can you.

A few weeks ago I saw posts on facebook for cold oatmeal that you made in the fridge over night.  This is something I had done years ago as it is a great way to have fast, easy meals ready to go when you get up in the morning.  The problem with what I was seeing on facebook is that most of the suggested recipes were overloaded in carbs and sugar.

So I thought why not share some really easy, low sugar and high protein ways to do this.

So here you go.

Here is the recipe:

1/2 Cup of oatmeal, I used the quick oat variety and you can use the steal cut, slow cook but personally I see NO benefit in doing so

2 scoops of protein powder, I like the UMP from Beverly International

Cinnamon, the pure ground not sugar added kind

Mix dry ingredients in your bowls.  Now, add water to one of the bowls and place in the fridge.  This is your breakfast for tomorrow.  Tomorrow night, grab the next bowl, add water…you get the idea.

Calories 370

Carbs about 30 grams

Protein about 40 grams

Fat about 2 grams

Want to get real crazy?  Add some fresh berries, nuts, or even flax seed.

No Time for Breakfast, Try this!

IMG_1882

This took two minutes to make this morning.

 

1 Scoop of Protein

What was left of the yogurt (about a cup)

Handful of Frozen Blueberries

1 TBS of Flax

4 oz of Water

 

Mix all of the above.  Great way to start the day with protein, anti oxidant and fiber rich blueberries, healthy fat and fiber from the flax, and the good bacteria from the Greek yogurt.  Best part since the yogurt was about empty I dirtied a spoon…that was it.
