06 Apr Quick Fixes & Clean Eats

By Lisa Guggisberg

One of my favorite things to do besides powerlifting, is baking.  I love making cakes, cupcakes, pies, and anything that is sweet, or has the potential to give you diabetes.  If I am stressed, anxious or just want a moment of happy, I’ll bake.  In my opinion, I am on Martha Stewart level when it comes to baking.  Brian can attest that my buttercream frosting is out of this world. This is great, but not so good when I am trying to eat clean and stay off the sugar crack.  So, the alternative is to make a lesser evil of baked goods with some modified recipes.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Snickerdoodle Protein Shake

Ingredients:

1 Scoop of Magnum Quattro vanilla protein from Captain Jacked.com

1 cup of almond milk

2 tsp. of natural peanut butter or almond butter

1 tsp. of vanilla extract

1 tsp. of ground cinnamon

Ice

Directions:

Dump it all into a blender, grind, crush, slush it up and drink.

Protein Waffles

Ingredients:

1 Scoop of Magnum Quattro vanilla protein from Captain Jacked.com

1 egg or ½ cup liquid egg whites

1 tsp. baking powder

Water to desired consistency if using whole egg and not egg whites

Directions:

Preheat waffle iron

Mix all ingredients, pour in waffle pan, and cook for 3 minutes.  Finish off with sugar free syrup, or some almond butter.

Cold Brew Coffee Overnight Oats

This is one of my favorites as I love coffee and oats are always my go to slow digesting carb source.

Ingredients:

½ cup raw old fashioned oats

¼ cup cold brew coffee

¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

1 scoop Magnum Quattro vanilla protein from Captain Jacked.com

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Directions:

In a glass jar, mason jar or just a shaker cup dump everything in.  Cover, shake and let it sit overnight.

These are all easy and fast recipes that I like to use when I am craving something sweet, but don’t want to go totally off the reservation with my diet. Give them a try!
