Protein Packed Pudding

This simple recipe is great to kill your cravings while helping you reach your protein needs for the day. Play around with different flavours to match your individual taste preferences.

Also, keep in mind that you can easily make this into a parfait simply by laying the pudding with sliced fresh fruit and low-calorie Cool Whip.

Ingredients:


1 box of sugar-free, fat-free pudding mix
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1-2 scoops protein powder

Directions:


Prepare the pudding according to package directions, using the slightly reduced volume of skim milk. After pudding consistency has been reached, blend in the protein powder and then chill to let set.

Note that the brand of protein powder you use will influence the consistency of the pudding - some protein powders tend to make it thinner, while others will make it thicker, so adjust the volume of milk added accordingly.

Spaghetti' And Meatballs

When someone starts up on a diet, pasta is often one thing they miss the most. Since pasta is both high in calories and carbohydrates, it is often one of the first things that people will remove from their diet.

Luckily it's fairly easy to come up with a suitable substitution that will help satisfy your craving - spaghetti squash.

Ingredients:


1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup dry oats
1 egg + 2 egg whites
1 spaghetti squash
2 cups low-sodium prepared pasta sauce

Directions:


Beat the egg whites together and then combine with remaining ingredients. Once moist, form into small balls and set aside. Next, half the spaghetti squash and then place cut side down on a microwaveable tray in about 1/2 an inch of water. Microwave for 6-8 minutes and then let stand for five.

Meanwhile, sauté meatballs in a small amount of olive oil or chicken broth until cooked through. Scrape out the strands from the spaghetti sauce and top with heated pasta sauce and meatballs. Sprinkle over a small amount of light parmesan cheese.
