Kindle Free Pick of the Week: Low Carb

A wide variety of recipes.

Weight loss in two weeks is a recurring theme in cookbooks. While their recipes often focus on lunch, dinner or snacks, one of the most important meals is often greatly neglected. Of course we’re talking about breakfast. And just like all low carb recipes, taste is much more important than doing without.

The 100 recipes in this cookbook are split into 10 categories, each with 10 recipes.

Brownies that are Healthy and Packed with Protein?

Protein – Brownies? That Are Delicious!

My approach to weight loss is based upon flexible dieting.  My clients are given macros, which are proteins, fats and carbs, which comprises total calories.  They then eat within the budget that is prescribed for their specific body.  What makes this plan so effective is that there are no foods that one has to eat and no foods that are off limits.  This makes for very sustainable, long term, successful weight loss.

While I can have a brownie, ice cream or cookies, I have learned that those types of calorie dense foods add up very fast.  And because I like to eat in volume, I have created many healthy, low calories, low fat versions of these desserts so that I can have the entire tray if I’d like for less calories rather than just one. 

One of my favorite recipes is my Protein Brownie. You can add a peanut butter swirl to it, a cream cheese filling, chocolate chips or simply plain as is.  Not only do they hit the spot and cure my cravings for sweets, but keep my waistline in check too. 

Here is the recipe that has never been shared before, as it’s a new edition to my recipe ebook due out in a few weeks:

Protein Chocolate Brownies

4 scoops Chocolate Protein Powder

½ cup + 2 TBS cocoa powder

½ cup + 2 TBS Pure Pumpkin

5 ounces % Plain Greek Yogurt

1 cup Sweetener (I used Swerve)

1 cup Water

⅓ cup chocolate chips (I use Lily’s)

Preheat Oven to 350

Mix dry ingredients

Add wet ingredients to form the batter

Pour into 8x8 greased (or sprayed) square pan

Bake 30-35 minutes or until middle is set

Cut when cool

Serving Size 9 pieces 83 calories 5g carbs 1g fat 13g protein

These are a total crowd pleaser to bring to your next barbecue. Also, try these out on children a great way to serve a snack with a healthy punch!
