Recipe - Protein Cream Apple

Apr 11, 2014

Sometimes, you just want something sweet. Or crunchy. Or sweet and crunchy. Luckily, these apples fill the bill! Once you're at a point after WLS where you can integrate some fruit into your diet, give these a try for a snack or breakfast.

Cunning Pam's Protein Cream Apple

Ingredients

1 medium apple
1 scoop Jay Robb vanilla protein powder*
1 tablespoon half and half
1 tablespoon part skim ricotta
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon hemp hearts

Method

1. Cut the apple up into wedges (I got about four thin wedges per quarter apple, so about 16 slices total)
2. Put the protein powder in a bowl. Add the half and half and ricotta, and stir to combine. Use the back of the spoon against the bowl to make sure the protein powder is really well mixed and not lumpy. It will take a minute or two of mixing to get it all combined and smooth.
3. Stir in the sunflower seeds and hemp hearts.
4. Divide the protein cream mixture into fourths.
5. Dip one quarter of the apple slices into one quarter of the cream mixture for each serving.

*You could use any protein powder, but I find the Jay Robb's mixes extremely well.

Makes four servings. Here is the nutrition information from MyFitnessPal: Per serving, 76 calories, 2 grams fat, 7 grams carbs (2 of those are fiber), 7 grams of protein.

You could add 1/2 teaspoon of Torani sugar free flavored syrup to the cream mixture if you like. I added caramel, but didn't care for it. The plain vanilla was much better tasting IMO. You can also omit the hemp hearts, just adjust the nutrition information (they add about 20 calories and 1 gram protein per serving, plus a little sugar.)

Enjoy!
