Avo & Spinach Meal Replacement Shake

I usually don’t approve of Meal Replacement shakes … I prefer to eat real food!  But this is a very healthy alternative to a meal, if you are in a hurry.

Mix

½ avo

½ cup of spinach

1 banana

1 tbs peanut butter

½ cup of milk

½cup of Greek yoghurt

1 serving of vanilla whey protein

and 5-6 blocks of ice

in a blender.

Protein Pudding in a Mug

Mix 1 scoop chocolate flavour Herbalife F1 powder (or whey), 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao, 1 egg, ½ tsp baking powder, ¼ cup milk and tsp sweetener (if needed) in a large cup and microwave for 1½ minutes.

Melt a caramel or chocolate flavour Herbalife protein bar in ¼ cup milk in the microwave and then add ½ cup plain yoghurt (or ¼ cup yoghurt, ¼ cup cottage cheese) and 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (if needed).  Pour it over the cake in the cup.  Then place in the fridge to set.

Add a topping of your choice – I used yoghurt, cocoa powder and dried banana slices; my wife used whipped cream and hot chocolate powder and dried banana slices.

This recipe is quick, easy and healthy … and very good!  You only use one bowl and one pan, it takes a few minutes to make and unlike other fish cakes, it is actually healthy!

Mix

2 eggs

1 scoop oats

1 can tuna (or sardines)

a little bit of mixed herbs

a few drops lemon juice

and half an onion (raw or fried) in a bowl. 

Scoop it into a pan heated with some canola oil.  Turn once.  Enjoy. (You can add some avo on top to make it even better!)

People often ask me what I eat and don’t eat.  I eat every 3-4 hours and I eat very healthy.  No sugar or sauces or spices (apart from herbs).  No starch at night.  No sweets, cookies or chips.  I have one “cheat meal” a week – usually Ribs on a Friday night.  I do, however, love eating!! During the last few years my wife and I have found (or developed) recipes that I can enjoy – for snacks or meals.

I will share some of them with you on this page!  Let me know what you think!
