S: Brown rice wrap with a turkey meatloaf muffin, hummus, yogurt cheese, spinach, and a little mozza. SF: NSA Chocolate pudding. Ex: Insanity (Cardio Recovery & Fit Test) |

Emma, how are you making cocoa roasted nuts. I was so sad to read the ingredient list in the store bought ones. Can anything just be pure anymore?

mmmm, cocoa-roasted nuts are GOOD. Probably too good :)
I discovered them pre-made (Emerald brand, sweetened with Splenda), and after I devoured pretty much the entire canister (probably 16 servings or so!) I discovered corn starch was an ingredient. Not sure how much, but still I figured I could easily make the same without cornstarch. I have tried it the easy way (just spray raw nuts with a coating of canola oil and the dust with a cocoa powder/sweetener of choice) and the more difficult, messy way (coat the nuts in an egg white wash first) - although I have never gotten the results just right (a lot of coating doesn't stick), they are still really good!! I toast them in my toaster oven at 350°F for around 7 or 8 minutes. Some will start to crack when they are ready. Here is one recipe that comes close to what I do (she uses water instead of oil and combines it all in a shake-n-bake method) I have done this frequently with almonds and with soy nuts (pre-roasted so they don't take very long at all). Just make sure to divide up into serving sizes so you don't eat the whole shebang in a sitting, as I am prone to doing :p |
Phase 1.5?
B - Coffee with us coconut milk. "Cake batter" smoothie L - Homemade chili with TVP and multicolored peppers. White tea. S - Cucumber-Greek yogurt salad. Roasted seasoned seaweed (YUM! The only ingredients are seaweed, oil and salt - 1.6 g fat - 30 cal and 30% USRDA for Vitamin A and 20% for Vitamin C :)) D - Grilled shrimp on Romaine lettuce salad with flaxseed oil/lemon juice vinaigrette. Broccoli eggwhite "souffle" (more like a quiche/custard). dessert - ? [I added it up: 5-6 cups veggies, depending on how I count the lettuce. 124g protein - wow!] |
Those sound good! I might just make them one serving at a time. I have no control with nuts and chocolate.
