The recipe calls for ghee - is this an ok substitute for the usual olive oil or grapeseed oil On Program?

Ghee is clarified butter, so it would not be Phase 1 appropriate to use, but you should be able to substitute another oil.

Hi friends,

Has anyone used the quest protein powder (plain) as a type of flour replacement? I'm hesitant to buy it because it sounds potentially very disgusting. But I'd like to try this recipe (sans the butter). I've made these before with flour and my husband love love loved them. Any thoughts on plain protein powder as flour replacement in a recipe like this?

3/4 c. H20
3/4 c plain protein powder (instead of flour)
2 tsp garlic powder
22 oz. (6.5 c) cauliflower florets
3/4 c. Franks Hot Sauce
1 Tbsp Olive Oil (replacing butter)

Coat cauliflower in water, "flour" and garlic powder. Bake for 20 min at 450. Combine Hot Sauce and olive oil in bowl.

Pour hot sauce over cauliflower and bake for 5 more min.

This is adapted from Skinny Taste. The Recipe is called "Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites".

I don't know how well it would translate - the chemical makeup of flour is totally different from protein powder. Did you search the Quest website to see if they have any comparable recipies? They have a really robust recipe library. I did a cursory search and it seems like recipes for "breaded" foods actually use the crushed Quest Chips - that might be a better option especially if you can grind them up good in a food processor.

Good call. I didn't realize the Quest website was so robust with respect to recipes. I just took a look. It seems like they always use a combo of flour and protein powder when making anything "bready". The ground up chips is a good idea. I was thinking of food processing some rutebega to make hash browns. Maybe I can do this at the same time (I love my food processor but I hate cleaning it). Part of my nervousness at using the Quest Plain Protein Powder stems from that teensy funky taste I tend to get when I eat the plain Quest products. But I'm hoping the hot sauce would override that...

This recipe seems to be "fried" and I'm sure you could tweek it without any problems. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/249175791859220932/

These seem more like little quiches than muffins... I am perfectly good with that... altho I am also wondering what would happen if the beaten eggs were made a bit more robust maybe with IP potato puree? That seems to be the IP packet that produces the most bread like texture when I use it to make muffins....

I'm considering these for leftovers lunch. A little chicken, a couple of veggies and some egg.

DH suggested bacon and cheese for his, hold the onions and vegetables. Men!

EDIT: Oh, and obviously some adjustments need to be made for the non-compliant items like cheese, milk etc if you are 100% OP.

I use Quest Peanut Butter Flavor whey protein powder and just follow the zucchini muffin recipe, but make cookies instead of muffins.

The best thing for me is that these cookies don't set up the same cravings for me as Quest Bars do (I can only buy 1-2 bars at one time b/c I crave them so badly if I have them at home).

I've been making them every day. Today I just broke down and made 3 batches at once.

Lisa sounds awesome want to make them. How do I count them on phase 1?

i've recently tried the quest sea salt protein chips and just love them!! so today, i added a little flair....
i opened the bag, sprayed a little coconut non-stick cooking spray inside (to get the seasoning to stick) and sprinkled with a little bit of curry seasoning, gave the bag a gentle shake, and wow!!....

coconut curry protein chips were delicious!

can't wait to try many other combinations!
