Protein Pudding

 This is a great way to get in a bunch of protein with very little effort. I really enjoy it and I guess it's kind of like a pudding. Got this recipe from a lady I follow on instagram; Makingprettyspaces (Jen)

1 cup fat free greek yoghurt (Costco) over 18g protein

1 scoop protein powder (I have the chocolate Ascent brant from Costco right now) 25g protein

1 TBSP peanut butter, almond butter or PB powder 4g protein

1 TBSP almond flour 2-3g protein

Mix together in container, refrigerate or freeze for about 10 minutes and enjoy. You can top with chocolate chips or banana slices or whatever sounds good. 

I stored it in the fridge and you can also eat it as soon as you mix it. 

Thai Green Curry Soup

 We had something like this at a Thai place in October and we loved it. I was craving it and recreated the flavors and created a super yummy soup. 

1 onion diced

2-3 chicken breasts diced or thinly sliced and dusted with a shake of baking soda

1 whole sweet potato (medium), scrubbed and skin left on. Cut off ends and dice

1 small butternut squash peeled and diced

1-2 peppers (can do half red and half green) diced but bigger pieces

1 end of broccoli sliced and quartered can use florets but I liked the ends 

handful sliced mushrooms (I would do more)

1-2 inch piece ginger peeled and microplaned

about 1 TBSP minced garlic

splash of soy sauce

4-6 cups chicken broth

chicken boullion

salt/ pepper

1/3 small jar of Thai Green Curry Paste (so about 2-3 TBSP)

Keffir lime leaves (lots)

1/2 bag of vermicelli noodles

1 can coconut milk

chopped cilantro, green onions and sliced limes for serving

Prep veggies and chicken separately. Cook chicken in a pot until starting to cook, add onion, garlic, lime leaves and ginger and cook until fragrant. Add veggies and cook on medium high for a few minutes. Add seasonings and broth including the curry paste and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and test for taste. Add salt, pepper and bouillon as needed. Boil until veggies are fork tender. Turn off heat, add vermicelli noodles and can of coconut milk. Serve with toppings
