Stevia and Strawberries



So, I've been blogging for a while now, and the majority of my recipes started with me using splenda. I'll admit I was reluctant to give up my splenda because with the exception of one alternate (that I could only get online). I was not very impressed with some of the stevia products I had tasted. I swear it tasted like chemicals!! Okay, so maybe I don't really know what chemicals taste like, but I'm guessing this is what is tasted like. LOL

Pumpkin Mini-Muffins

Video speaks for itself~

 

20-25g protein powder (I used unflavored BUYBULKWHEY)
35g old fashion oats
50g canned pumpkin
3 egg whites (or 2 liquid egg whites)
2g sugar free fat-free cheesecake pudding mix
cinnamon and splenda/stevia

Bake at 400 for 8 minutes

I think that I will try baking them at 350 for 11 minutes. It will give the oats more time to 'cook' without drying out the muffins.

Turkey and Carrot Soup

So, I have had a few requests for 'on plan' soup recipes, so I decided to play around with one of my favorites. The hard thing with soups is being able to devide servings evenly. I think that if I had to do this recipe over, I would add in my turkey AFTER I serve up my bowl. That way I am sure to get the correct protein amount.

I weighed every item (including water), and then figured out the calories per 100 grams. I was shocked that I was able to have a hearty bowlful and it was only around 100 calories. Obviously, I then added more protein to my serving to ensure I had enough.
