For some reason I was craving waffles today, but I've also decided I want to eat more wholesome & also less carbs (mostly from bread, sugar, rice however). Therefore, I decided to look up Protein frickin waffles! I noticed there were more "easy" ingredients for protein pancakes, whereas, for waffles there were "more" ingredients. Well.. I guess I'll try to experiment today and if it's a fail, I shall be eating chocalate-y egg scramble. Intriguing Luckily for me, today's attempt was a success! Here's another 3-ingredient no-fluff recipe :D . EASY PEASY 30 g whey protein (or like 1 scoop) 1 egg 1/4 cup water Since I didn't add baking powder, the waffles didn't rise but I'm totally ok with that. For some extra flavor, I drizzled honey and sprinkled some cinnamon. Then pretty much mashed everything into my mouth. Craving totally satisfied without any guilt. yesss I think for next time. I might blend some chia seeds to he...

omg why didn't I think of using tofu in shakes before?? I sometimes love to just eat raw, silken tofu  because it's kind of like pudding... Tchh who needs protein powder anyways. I love this more natural alternative! < In this smoothie for my post-workout: Pineapples, strawberries, banana, 1/2 cup of tofu and some water. Delicious =) Happy Dianasaur The first two links are more information about tofu as protein source in smoothies and the last link is a recipe for a chocolate/tofu milkshake! http://www.livestrong.com/article/182441-how-to-make-your-own-gym-protein-shake/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/85985-make-protein-shakes-protein-powder/ http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/09/12/chocolate-protein-milkshake/ healthy, gym, fitness, workout, protein, proteinshake, cheaper, natural, smoothie, post workout, fruits, strawberry, pineapple, banana, tofu, soy, 

I recently ran out of protein powder so I started looking up possible substitutes. BLACK BEANS! Haven't tried out this powder yet, but excited I have all the ingredients at home already and don't have to shell out money for protein powders, they're quite pricey.. Also feeling better because this time I know exactly what I'm putting into my body instead of wondering what that amino acid-protein-lab synthesis information is all about :) Step 1 : 1 tbsp each of dried soybeans, oats, brown rice, and black beans to coffee grinder. Soybeans and black beans are protein-rich but strong flavored, whereas brown rice and oats have less protein and will mask the stronger taste of the soybeans/black beans,  (soo.. I'm assuming everything is dried) Step 2: Grind until flour-like consistency. Add Ins: 1/2 of a vanilla bean and 2 tsps. each of maca powder and spirulina.   Can add chorela, matcha, wheat grass powder, raw cacao powder, etc Step 3: Keep protein powd...
