Compiled Recipes

[William Br]

Hello all. Here are some protein drink recipes and other
goodies using flax oil/fiber I compiled from people at my
Inner Circle forum (See URL at end of post if interested) if
you are looking for some new ideas or recipes.

___________________________________________________
Lara

JohnD gave me a (good?) idea back in the fat burner section.
He was asking what everyone uses their flax oil for. I thought
besides shakes and salad dressing their might be some great
ideas out there (I'm encouraging those who don't post and
those who do already) on how to use flax oil or other recipe
ideas. I'll start it off with a recipe for homemade mayonnaise
using flax oil.

Homemade Mayonnaise:
1/4 raw almonds
2/4 cup water or soy milk
3/2 tsp. yeast
4/4 tsp. garlic powder (I suggest a clove of garlic, crushed
of course)
5/4 tsp. salt
6/4 flax oil or Udo's Choice
7/4 olive oil(extra virgin is best) 2 tablespoons lemon juice
8/4 tsp apple cider vinager (balsamic vinegar is tasty too.)
9. Combine ingredients in order in a blender or food
processor. Blend on High until creamy
10. Keep refrigerated. Keeps 10 days to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a
substitute for mayo in recipes or on your favorite
sandwich, I'm thinking tuna salad sandwiches are back. Of
course don't over do it because it still has a lot of fat
in it, keep within your daily requirements.

So if you have any of your own ideas for flax oil or
otherwise, please share, we are all looking for new tastes
whether we've been following a special "diet" for years or
just starting.

I have one more ideas to share with those looking for low-carb
treats. You may or may not find this appealing (my husband
cringes when I mix cottage cheese with anything) but a tasty
bedtime meal I enjoy is 1/2 cup cottage cheese with about 1
tablespoon peanut butter (natural stuff only!), no skippy
please! Low carb, and filling, it got rid of my bedtime bowl
of cereal habit, plus it gives you some great protein for
nighttime muscle repair.

Let's here your recipe ideas!

Although shakes and dressings are my mainstay here's one I
like.

Occasionally I like hot cereal, hate oatmeal though. I eat hot
flax cereal, you can make your own or buy it. The prepackaged
stuff is VERY good.

I like to take the 1/2 cup of the vanilla almond flax cereal,
add one tbsp of Udo's oil, one tbsp of Udo's fast food blend,
two tbsp of the zero calorie maple syrup, 1/4 tsp stevia
blend. This makes for a very low carb and very high
fat(mmmmm) meal.

Occasionally if I want a little carb in it, I'll throw some
blueberries, strawberries, etc. Sometimes I'll add a little
fresh crumbled walnuts in this.

Here's another I've tried and like, although it doesn't
sound good.

11/2 cup Lowfat cottage cheese, 1 tbsp flax, 1 scoop protein
powder (chocolate for me), 1/2 tsp stevia, 1 tbsp of sugar
free nestles quick chocolate drink. Blend (I use a thunder
stick, the greatest invention for this stuff), chill for a
tasty pudding that I like after cardio. lately I've been
putting my creatine and glutamine in this with no
aftertaste or grit that I can tell.

Tastes good (at least to me), although it probably doesn't
sound very good.

Here's an idea, take something like your mayo (good one, looks
better than mine), add vanilla extract, stevia (or whatever
sugar sub you use). Goes good on the new york style (very low
carb) cheesecake that I make.

Ah, excuse me while I go eat.

Here's one:

Well, another stab at something different other than shakes.

Summertime fare...

1 Scoop Isopure Vanilla Protein (been trying this stuff
lately) 1 Box Sugar Free Strawberry Jello 2 Large Fresh
Strawberries (about 50g)

Boil water, add 1 cup boiling water to box of Jello. I'd put
it in a pan or something other than the box.

Once it's well mixed, put this in your mixing container,
blender or whatever, I use a thunderstick, best tool I've ever
come across for this sort of thing.

Add 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

You could add sweetner, but I found it wasn't needed.

1 Scoop Protein Powder

Lots and lots of crushed ice. I used about two cups in mine.
Use chopper blade to chop the ice. This made it the
consistency of ice cream. I could turn the container upside
down and nothing would come out.

Chop the strawberries, use the blender blade to fold the
strawberries into the mix, or just use a spoon. Mainly just
distribute the berries evenly into the frozen concoction.

Makes about 24oz. I use a Netrition Shaker bottle. This fills
right to the top.

Freeze for 20 minutes or so. I just left it in the container.
The Jello holds it all together and keeps it from separating.

Has the taste and consistency of sherbert.

This is VERY GOOD!!!! Makes a lot. It's really a meal
unto itself.

Entire recipe:

Calories: 158 Protein: 29.30 Carbs 3.64 Fat: 0.18 Sat fat:
0.01 Chol: 2.50mg Fiber: 1.15

Variation:

Strawberry/Banana, with 50g Banana

Use Strawberry/Banana sugar free Jello and 50g banana

Calories: 189 Protein: 29.52 Carbs: 11.85 Fat: 0.24 Sat Fat:

I came up with quite a few of these while standing in lines at
airports. If you decide to try any of these let me know how it
comes out. Let me know of any variations also.

I also came up with a Chocolate, Mint, Coffee that was really
good. Great pre-workout with a couple L-Tyrosine.

To get over my chocolate cravings, I make rice crispie
squares. I make them according to directions, But I add about
a 1/4-1/2 cup of milled flax, and also add in some bittersweet
chocolate that's been ground up. I'm not sure how nutritious
it is, but it does satisfy my candy bar cravings...lol

It's nothing special. Basically take the chocolate shake
instead of water, use 1-2 cups of crushed ice, brew some VERY
strong coffee if that's what you like, mine is about 4-6 oz
brewed with Folgers coffee singles for 10 minutes. dump over
the ice while it's hot. I throw in two or three drops of mint
extract and 2 grams of tyrosine. This is where the powder is
best of course.

Just experiment with different things until you find what you
like the best.

Will Brink I use: two scoops whey isolate, one cup water, half
cup of favorite juice, handful of frozen strawberries, 5 grams
glutamine, and one tablespoon of flax oil or Udo's Choice oil,
blended in the old blender. This MRP has approximately 370
calories, 36 grams of protein, 23 grams of carbs, and 15 grams
of fat (or 40% calories from protein, 24% calories from carbs,
and 36% calories as fat), making it a high protein, moderate
fat, low carb MRP. My Current: Adjust as necessary.

PatS

2 scoops LEF chocolate 1 tsp Stevia Spoonable 1 tbsp flax oil
1 tbsp heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp Udo's Fast Food Blend 12oz
water Crushed ice. Blend Want to make this REALLY good. if you
can stand the extra fat, add 1 tbsp natural peanut butter.

2 Scoops Strawberry protein (LEF doesn't have this that I
can find. I use IsoPure here) 1 tsp Stevia Spoonable 1 tbsp
flax oil 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp Udo's Fast Food
Blend 100g frozen strawberries 12-16oz sugar free mandarin
orange Kool-Aid (prepared as directed, I make mine with
stevia) crushed ice. I also like this with 2 scoops of LEF
vanilla also.

For a different taste, replace the whipping cream with 2 tbsp
of 4% cottage cheese. Be sure to blend really well. I like to
tinker with this stuff and have come up with some really
oddball stuff in this area.

I also use vanilla extract for more taste on occasion.

This list goes on and on.

Keep in mind that the above are my high calorie meals for the
day. I do two of these a day when I'm cutting down and one
before bed when I'm trying to up the amount of weight I'm
lifting. This is in the context of the diet section of the
e-boot. My daily calories run between 1500-1800 when I'm
trying to take off some fat.

These are a few from my recipe list. Adjust as necessary. I
have many variations, but you get the idea. I don't think the
formatting will work though.

One moreŠ.

This is really a condiment for meats and salads. A variation
on something I used to use to baste my meat.

1 tbsp melted butter (no margarine of course, only for a one
shot mix, doesn¹t store well)
12/4 cup Udo¹s Choice Oil blend 2 tsp cayenne pepper flakes
(the amount *I* use) salt garlic (if you like) 1 tsp Chef
Paul¹s blackened redfish seasoning You can add black pepper
if you think it¹ll help.

I put all this in a container, shake it up. Let it set in the
refrigerator a couple of days. Shaking occasionally.

This is GOOD mixed in tuna. I use it like steak sauce and
salad dressing. Don¹t use to baste while cooking. I started
this when I read about the possible thermogenic properties of
Cayenne, I do all I can to facilitate fat loss. I use olive
oil if I baste meat with it. But, this way I get the cayenne
and my Udo¹s in one shot. Keep in mind however, after a couple
of weeks you may want to keep a fire extinguisher handy in
case of spontaneous combustion. What usually happens to me is
by the time I get to the bottom of the bottle, I¹m just
putting on a few drops and using a basting brush to spread it
around. Try this and you won¹t wonder any longer about whether
cayenne is thermogenic. This stuff gets hot!!!
