Protein Tease

Hi all!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend!  I'm sure we all enjoyed some fun, friends, laughter and good food!  Maybe a little too much 'good' food! :-)  Life is meant to be enjoyed, so if that means you enjoy and indulge a little hear and there on good food, don't sweat it...just make sure you back on track and sweat, literally!!!

Speaking of indulging on 'good' food...did you know that you can enjoy those delicious tasting foods and cut the calories without cutting the taste.  Later this week I'm going to share some recipes that I have come across that truly are delicious, if not better than the original.  From breads, to muffins, to ice cream, to parfaits, etc.

In the mean time, try experimenting yourself.

Replace Milk with unsweetened vanilla or chocolate almond milk
Instead of oil, try applesauce
Replace Eggs with Soaked Chia Seeds
Instead of Butter try coconut oil
Replace Cream Cheese with Greek Yogurt or Cottage Cheese
Instead of Wheat Flour try Coconut Flour or Almond Flour or even Protein Powder!

There are so many options and all of these options will lower the calories and bump up the protein!

Don't allow Labor Day to be the last hooray of bathing suit season.  Every day should feel like bathing suit season.  Feel good about your body and keep up the great work!  No winter hibernation!
