Topic: RE: What's your favorite protein shake recipe?
I make a mocha frappe. I use unsweetened almond milk, instant coffee granules, sf international delight Swiss mocha, 2 truvias and ice. Blend and it's like Starbucks!

It's around 150 calories, 21 grams of protein.

Coconut Shrimp

Cooking spray

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/3 cup crushed whole wheat saltine crackers (7 crackers)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Place shrimp in a large bowl, add buttermilk and turn to coat.

In a shallow dish, combine coconut, crushed crackers, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.

Remove shrimp from buttermilk and shake off excess buttermilk. Transfer shrimp to coconut mixture and turn to coat both sides, pressing coconut mixture into shrimp if necessary to create a nice crust. Place shrimp on prepared pan and bake 10-12 minutes, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through and coconut coating is golden brown and crispy.

Go to www.bariatriceating.com - there is a delicious pumpkin bread recipe that is simple and with no sugar added.  I added some walnuts just to change it up.

Topic: Spicy Chicken and Brocoli with Faux Rice

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 34 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Serving Size: 1/4 of recipe

 

Gather

2 pounds boneless/skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces. 1-2 Tablespoons coconut oil 2 cups broccoli florets ¼ cup low sodium chicken stock ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari sauce 1 Tablespoon sriracha sauce 1 Tablespoon honey 1 Tablespoon sesame oil ¼ cup orange juice 2 teaspoon corn starch ½ teaspoon ground ginger or 1 inch fresh finely chopped ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic minced For the 'Rice' 1 head cauliflower 1 Tablespoon coconut oil ¼ cup low sodium chicken stock Salt & pepper to taste 3 scallions sliced thin

Step by step

For the Chicken & Broccoli For the faux rice
  1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium/high heat.
  2. Brown and cook chicken pieces in batches about 2 minutes per side or 4 minutes per batch. Do not overcrowd the skillet!
  3. Place cooked chicken on a plate and keep warm.
  4. Combine the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, sesame oil, orange juice, ground ginger, garlic powder and corn starch.
  5. Whisk to combine the ingredients (OR if you use fresh ginger and garlic instead of the powder, sauté for about 30 seconds to one minute in the skillet after you’ve removed the chicken).
  6. Add ¼ cup chicken stock and continue cooking for another minute stirring constantly and scraping up brown bits.
  7. Add the sauce and bring to a boil.
  8. Add the broccoli and stir to coat and cook for a minute or two.
  9. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the broccoli and sauce.
  10. Simmer uncovered for another two minutes stirring often.
  11. At this point you can turn the burner off and cover the skillet to keep warm and to finish cooking the broccoli.
  12. Using the grater attachment for your food processor, grate the cauliflower. One head of cauliflower makes about 4 cups of faux rice.
  13. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  14. When oil is hot, add the cauliflower and stir to coat with the oil.
  15. Add ¼ cup chicken stock to the cauliflower and cover to steam.
  16. Stir occasionally and cook over medium heat testing periodically.
  17. The texture should be like steamed white rice.
  18. Watch closely because the cauliflower can quickly become mushy/overcooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  19. Stir in 2/3 of the sliced scallions, reserving the remaining 1/3 for garnish.
  20. Serve the chicken and broccoli with the faux rice topped with the remaining scallions, sriracha and soy sauce.
