Chocolate Blueberry Frozen Treats Don't use excessively ripe bananas whenever you get this to dessert. While individuals are ideal for baked goods like blueberry breads and muffins, its easier to use slightly firm bananas with this recipe (as well as for shakes). Also, observe that the meal can vary slightly with respect to the size the bananas you utilize. If you do not have frozen bananas available, cut fresh ripe bananas into 1 pieces, put them within an airtight container, and freeze not less than one to two hrs. Elements: 2 medium frozen bananas 1 scoop (17 grams) Greatest Loser Natural Chocolate Luxurious Protein Supplement, or 50 calories price of another chocolate protein powder 1 tablespoon all-natural cacao powder Take away the bananas in the freezer and cut into 1 pieces. Add the bananas, protein powder, and cacao powder towards the bowl of the mixer fitted having a cutting up edge. Process until completely smooth, temporarily halting if required to scrape lower the edges from the bowl. Continue processing for one minute longer, or until it's oxygenated and fluffy (take care not to overprocess, or it will start to liquefy). Divide the frozen treats evenly among 2 small dessert bowls. Serve immediately.

Here Ive changed calorie-dense coconut crme with light coconut milk, and used frozen pineapple portions and dried egg-whites to thicken that coffee. The frozen pineapple maintains more diet compared to sugar-sweetened pineapple juice typically utilized in a pia colada, and also the egg-whites add about 5 grams of protein. Ultimately, it will save you an astonishing 307 calories, 13 grams of body fat, and 12 grams of saturated fats on the typical same-size pia colada! Elements: 1/2 cup light coconut milk 8 ice 3 cups frozen pineapple portions 2 tbsps 100 % dried egg-whites (I made use of N-El Just Whites), optional 3 tbsps light rum 2 pineapple wedges for garnish (optional) Towards the jar of the blender by having an ice crush setting, add the coconut milk, ice, pineapple portions, egg-whites (if preferred), and rum. Blend on high just before the mixture is smooth. Divide it between 2 chilled Collins glasses or any other tall, thin glasses. Garnish using the pineapple wedges, if preferred, and serve immediately with straws and/or drink umbrellas. Makes 2 portions Per serving (with egg-whites): 219 calories, 6 g protein, 33 g carbohydrates (23 g sugar), 4 g body fat, 3 g saturated fats, mg cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 83 mg sodium Per serving (without egg-whites): 204 calories, 1 g protein, 33 g carbohydrates (23 g sugar), 4 g body fat, 3 g saturated fats, mg cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 8 mg sodium ********** South from the Border Loaded Yams When Im cooking personally, I prepare this potato with medium salsa, and contains a pleasant kick. You can utilize mild or hot, as most of the participants do. If this involves topping the potato with salsa, commence with 1/3 cup of fresh salsa and drain the liquid from this. It'll likely simply be about 1/4 cup (maybe a little more) ultimately. Observe that the toppings wont fit within the potato--they'll spill out outrageous, which makes it much more decadent to consume! Elements: 1 (8-ounce) yams 4 oz . extra-lean ground poultry 3/4 teaspoon all-natural salt-free fajita or Southwest seasoning Essential olive oil spray (propellant free) 1/3 cup fresh salsa, drained 2 tbsps jarred all-natural roasting eco-friendly salsa 2 tbsps body fat-free Greek yogurt Utilizing a fork, poke the potato 5 occasions on every side and put it inside a microwave-safe bowl or dish. Cover the dish loosely having a paper towel. Microwave it on high for 3 minutes. Carefully switch the potato (it will likely be hot) and continue microwaving for two to four minutes longer, or until cooked and tender. Meanwhile, in a tiny bowl, mix the poultry and seasoning. Place a little nonstick skillet over medium-high warmth. When hot, gently mist it using the essential olive oil spray. Prepare the poultry for three or four minutes, or until no more pink, breaking it into bite-size portions while you do. Cut a dent within the potato that stretches 1 from each finish from the potato and deep enough to spread out the potato completely without performing in two. Place it inside a medium shallow bowl. Stuff the potato using the fresh salsa, then your poultry, then your eco-friendly salsa. Top it using the yogurt. Serve immediately.
