Some healthy and delicious recipe
ideas.
Protein Shake
Mix together:
Pineapple juice, vanilla protein powder, banana, peach,
raspberries, and ice cubes.
Frozen Hot Chocolate
Mix in a blender:
8 ounces of skim milk
2 teaspoons non-fat dairy creamer (more or less to taste)
2 packages of fat free, sugar free hot cocoa mix
2 tablespoons cocoa
Splenda to taste
Mix well. Add approximately 2 servings whey/soy and
keep mixing. When frothy, gradually add 4 cups of
ice. When blended, pour into serving bowl and top
with a little bit of fat free cool whip. Calculate
the protein by figuring the milk and whey in evenly divided
servings.
Oven-Fried Zucchini Chips
3 medium zucchini
1⁄4 cup frozen egg substitute, thawed
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Italian dressing
1⁄2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Cut zucchini into 1⁄4 inch thick slices; set aside.
Combine egg substitute and Italian dressing in a small bowl;
stir well. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and
pepper in a small bowl; stir well. Dip zucchini in
egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Place zucchini
on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake
at 475 degrees for 5 minutes; turn and bake additional 5
minutes. Serve immediately. Yields 8 servings.
Roasted Chickpeas
Thoroughly rinse, drain, and dry a can of chickpeas (garbanzo
beans). Toss them in a zip lock bag with a teaspoon
of olive oil and 1⁄2 pack of garlic and herb Good
Seasons salad dressing mix. Roast them for about 35
minutes in the oven; stirring often because they will burn.
Salt them as soon as they come out of the oven. They
will come out salty and crunchy like a “corn nut.”
Try mixing with different spice combinations or with Splenda,
making them slightly sweet and crunchy.
1 cup chickpeas has 286 calories, 3 grams of fat, 11 grams
