FOR COOKIE LOVERS


Oat Blueberry & Coconut Cookies
Makes 12 cookies

Ingredients:
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 tsp cinnamon
3 x 30 gram scoops (3/4 cup) vanilla whey protein
1/3 cup stevia baking blend (or your favourite sugar free substitute)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup water

Topping:
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut (for topping)
1-2 packets of stevia

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together oats, stevia baking blend, cinnamon, vanilla, peanut butter & water. Press a small amount of dough into a sprayed muffin tin (about 1/3 the way up). Dough will be sticky. You can use your hands, or if you don’t want to get them sticky, cover your hand in plastic wrap. Top each cookie with the topping. A bit of blueberries, coconut and a sprinkle of stevia. Bake for 12 minutes until just golden and the coconut gets a little toasted.


FOR THE EGG LOVERS


 

Spinach and Feta Omelet
Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup egg whites
  • salt to taste
  • dash ground black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups lightly packed fresh baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup crumbled light feta cheese (1 ounce)

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together egg, salt, and pepper; set aside. Lightly coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet with flared sides with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion to hot skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender. Remove vegetables from skillet; set aside.
Add 1 teaspoon of the oil to skillet; heat over medium heat. Add half of the egg mixture to skillet and immediately begin stirring gently with a wooden or plastic spatula. Stir continuously until the mixture resembles small pieces of cooked egg surrounded by liquid egg. Stop stirring and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more or until egg mixture is set and shiny.
Spoon half of the mushroom mixture across one side of the cooked egg mixture. Top with 1 cup of the spinach and 1 tablespoon of the feta cheese. Loosen omelet edge from skillet. Fold unfilled side over the filling. Cook about 1 minute more or just until spinach starts to wilt. Slide omelet onto serving plate; cover and keep warm. Repeat to make a second omelet.
To serve, sprinkle omelets with the remaining 2 tablespoons feta cheese.
 
FOR THE OATMEAL LOVERS

 

Raspberry Oatmeal (with sneaky Zucchini!)

Serves 1

Ingredients:

2/3 C unsweetened almond milk
1/3 C oatmeal
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pack of stevia/splenda (optional)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Splash of almond extract
Shake of sea salt
1/2 C grated zucchini
Handful chopped pecans
1/2 T almond butter
Raspberry "syrup"

Directions

In pot, combine first six ingredients and cook according to you oatmeal's package instructions.
Just before done (one to two mins), add the zucchini. Stir well and cook another one to two mins. The zucchini should add moisture, but if the oats get too dry add a little water or milk.
Meanwhile, place berries in microwave-proof bowl and heat for 20-25 seconds. This makes a delicious, all-natural berry syrup! You may want to add a little stevia or splenda to make the syrup sweeter. Remove from heat and top with almond butter, berries, or other toppings.
