Here are a few favorite recipes as of late!

Mexican Chicken

from fit2fat2fit.com


Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (it's a seasoning powder)
• 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
• 1 small can chopped black olives
• 1 small can chopped green chilies
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 2-4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Directions: Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with taco seasoning; grill or saute. Cut the cooked chicken into cubes and place in a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Add the enchilada sauce and toss the chicken to coat it with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese (optional) and olives over the chicken and bake at 350 °F for 10 to 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Scatter the green chilies and green onions over the top.

frozen hot chocolate
from pojofitness.com
1 packet diet hot chocolate*
1 cup skim milk (I use lactaid)
ice
optional: a few chocolate chips

add all ingredients in a blender. blend till desired consistency.
without the chocolate chips, this drink has 105 calories and about 10 grams of protein. not bad right!?!?

the chocolate chips blended do make it delicious.. i add maybe about 5 or 6. and, a little dollup of cool whip always makes everything better too!

*diet hot chocolate should have 25 calories.

German Chocolate Cake Protein Shake (This REALLY tastes like German Chocolate Cake!!)

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1/4 teaspoon caramel extract
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free, fat-free Chocolate Pudding mix
• 1 packet truvia or xylitol
• 1 handful of spinach
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthum gum (optional- used to thicken the shake)
• 1 scoop  (vanilla whey protein isolate)
• 2 cups ice (varies based on the consistency you want, about 3-4 handfuls)

Tips: You can freeze your bag of spinach so it doesn't wilt and go bad and use that instead. You will use less ice that way as well.
