Protein Pancakes (2 servings)
Pancakes:
3/4 cup of uncooked oats
1 scoop of whey protein (any flavor)
1 cup of skim milk
1 Tbsp of brown sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract

Mix these items together in a mixing bowl, then add 1 cup of whole wheat (or buckwheat) flour and 2 Tsbp of egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters). Mix well and cook on a pre-heated griddle at 350 degrees.

I love the TGIFridays Soup so this is their recipe here.

4You may top the salad with roasted chicken pieces that you have diced, but that is optional

chicken quesadilla
Use leftover chicken and anything you want to add to your quesadillas. Butter two flour tortillas and add mozarella cheese, onions, green peppers, chicken, mushrooms, tomato or whatever you like. Cut into 4 pieces and add lettuce and a dollop of sour cream.

chicken roll up
I use grilled chicken that I sprinkled with Greek seasoning. Shred into small pieces and roll into a flour tortilla with cheddar, sauteed onions and green peppers and lettuce, tomato and sour cream.

5. Pour remaining heated sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until enchiladas are heated through and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

6. Divide letuuce onto four plates and place a portion of enchiladas on top. top with a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream, tomatoes, and olives. Serve and enjoy.


vanilla peach pudding
This is just no sugar vanilla pudding (Jello) with peaches and vanilla protein powder added.

banana pudding
THIS IS NOT MY BANANA PUDDING RECIPE- Real banana pudding is the best and so bad for you and I am trying to start the Body for Life program so this is an attempt to get a treat that is better for you.
Jello vanilla pudding with vanilla protein powder added, slice up half a banana, and crush one vanilla wafer on top for some crunch.
Again, nothing like the real thing don't even try to compare. Eat this not expecting real banana pudding, more expecting vanilla pudding with a little add in.
