It's a massive meal too, keeps you full for a long time.
#1 Blueberry Muffins
1.5 cups Oats. (Blend untill a floury texture.)
add 3 scoops protein powder (Vanilla works best, blend untill mixed well)
From here you can play around with how you mix in the next ingredients... you'll probably have to stir them unless you have a powerful food processor or blender.
1.5 cups Fat Free Cottage Cheese
3 Eggs (Can replace with 6 egg whites if you want NO fat)
6 egg Whites (can replace with 3-4 extra eggs if you want some extra fat. And yes you are at 9 eggs total now)
Blend those ingredients till they are mixed well.
add about 1/2 cup Frozen (or fresh) blueberries. ( or more if you wish)
mix those in by hand... if you blend them you'll have a wierd blue muffin.
OK so you can pour those into muffin cups and bake them at about 350 for about 20 mins. Or if you don't have a muffin tin (like me) just pour them into a general baking dish with some calorie free cooking spray so it doesnt stick.
Those are awesome .... a 1/2 inch thick 2x2 inch square will have around 15 g protein about 1-2 grams of fat (depending on your egg/eggwhite balance) and about 6-12 g carbs.
#2 Bannana Nut Muffins
These are also Awesome.
Same thing as last time
1.5 cups Oats
3 scoops protein powder
3 eggs
6-8 egg whites
1.5 cups FF Cottage Cheese
1-1.5 Bannana's
Blend till a smooth mixture. Then add
1/4-1/3 cup chopped nuts for baking. Stir in by hand. (almonds are great. Peanuts work too)
#3 Peanut Butter
This one is for bulking. You are gonna end up with alot of good fats in this one and a little extra protein than the other ones.
pretty much same thing as last time
1.5 cups Oats
3 scoops protein powder
6-8 whole large eggs
1.5 cups FF Cottage Cheese
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
I still havn't perfected this one to have a really nice Peanut Buttery flavor. But it does add alot of calories. Something like 6-8 grams fat per serving and about 18g protein.
If you want to get a large amount of Peanut Butter taste and not quite as much fat, go back to 3 eggs and 6-8 egg whites instead and put in some extra peanut butter.
OK the GREAT thing about all of these recipe's is you can really controll how much of what nutrient is in your mixtures...
If you want more protein you can add an extra scoop of vanilla protein powder and maybe an extra egg white or 2 to make up for that
if you want more fats you can use whole eggs.
If you want more carbs.... well I guess add more bannana or Blueberry.... but god its not like you can't get good carbs from EVERYTHING else you eat when you are body building.
1/2 - 1 cup skim milk
1/2 - 1 cup instant oats
1 - 2 tablespoons peanut butter (crunchy or creamy-you choose)
1 - 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
Nuke for however long is recommended then blend together and enjoy. If you like No-Bake cookies, you will LOVE this recipe. It makes oats a lot easier to eat; you get the fiber and complex carbs from the oats; you get some good fat from the peanut butter to hold you out longer until your next feeding; and you get plenty of protein from the milk and protein powder. It tastes great and is nutritious as well!
