PROTEIN WAFFLE RECIPE

I recently went dairy-free (well, trying my hardest) because I want to improve my skin.  I've tried all the faces washes and all the creams.  I know better than anyone else your skin is directly related to your nutrition.  Going dairy-free has presented some problems as far as reaching my protein goal, so I have had to add outside protein sources.  I tried quite a few vegan proteins (the only proteins that don't have lactose) and they were well... BAD.  I'm not a huge fan of protein "shakes" so I had to find a protein that would bake well and Unico's Apollo Vegan Protein tastes amazing and bakes fantastic! Apollo has 20P/7C/3F so is macro friendly, and you can use it in just about everything. Protein can be expensive, but at 30 servings per container and a discount code: "SAMGFIT" you'll be adding protein to your day for less.

Ingredients:

1/4 Banana

1 Egg

1 Egg white

dash cinamon

dash vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 scoop Apollo Protein (use code "SAMGFIT")

Toppings of Choice

You can make these fresh, or ahead of time.  If you want them to be "crunchy" I would recommend freezing them and then toasting them when you're ready to eat.

CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

A protein packed chicken salad is a great meal! You can throw it in a low carb wrap, you can eat it plain, or even throw it on a bed of lettuce if you are trying to add extra greens to your day!

Traditional chicken salad is full of mayo and sugar, but by tweaking the ingredients a bit you can get a healthy alternative that still tastes great!

For this recipe I used one of those pre-cooked rotisserie chickens, this was a time saver for me, you could of course roast your own chicken.  This is simply a time saver and it tastes great!

Prep Time: 20 Minutes      Cook Time: 0
Makes 3 Servings

Ingredients:

9 oz Rotisserie Chicken
1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Cup Red seedless Grapes
1/4 Cup Miracle Whip Lite
2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries
1 Tbsp Pecans
3 or 4 Celery stalks

Directions:

1. Remove skin and shred chicken breast with fork while still warm.  (I didn't use the dark meat, but of course you could) I also "chopped" the chicken to ensure the shreds would be small.

2. Let chicken cool
3. While cooling chop the grapes and celery to desired size (I like them small)

4. When chicken is cool add Greek yogurt and miracle whip. Mix well with wooden spoon

5. Add nuts & fruit

6. Refrigerate until ready to eat
