Hi Friends!
So, how is the New Year's resolution eating going? :-)
I have some friends that REFUSE to make any New Year's Resolutions and others that have every list on their mirror ready to achieve!
I think I'm somewhere in the middle, I like using January to re-set goals and focus again but I don't go "crazy". Honestly, trying to eat well during the holidays for me is like trying to take a nap while my son is practicing his saxophone. (LOL, I just had that happen, I had the most disturbing dreams ever....in my 1/2 state of saxophone sleeping) It doesn't work! ;-)

Anyway, I wanted to help those who have set their New Year's eating expectations high by giving you this AMAZING recipe that is incredibly healthy, has great macronutrients AND will satisfy that crazy sweet tooth without being "bad"!
CHOCOLATE MOLTEN LAVA PROTEIN BROWNIE
(done in the microwave!)
I have to say, this is a CRAZY tasting chocolate treat that can be baked in a single serving in the microwave - what more can you ask for!
Did I mention that each ONE serving is under 300 calories AND full of protein! (a whopping 27.5 grams) A 4 oz chicken breast has 36 grams.
OK, I'll stop tempting you with pictures and give you guys the recipe. :-)
Chocolate Molten Lava Protein Brownie
1/4 c. oat flour (just blended up oatmeal)
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
22 grams (usually one scoop) Chocolate Whey Protein
NuNatruals Stevia Powder or stevia drops
to taste (if using packets try 2)
to taste (if using packets try 2)
dash of salt
1/4 c No Sugar Applesauce
1/4 c egg whites (from a carton is easy)
1 Tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
1/4 tsp vanilla
16 mini chocolate chips (either put IN the mixture or save for the top)
spray coconut oil in jar or mug
(for those that are adventurous - try adding a tbsp of chia seeds or coconut flakes and letting it sit a bit - DELICIOUS!)
Each microwave will be different but if I want it cake like I cook it for 90 seconds, if you want it like molten lava (which I MUCH prefer) cook around 60 seconds. Watch that it doesn't overflow though!
