Spinach Protein "Bread"

I decided to make some spinach protein “bread.” Decided I needed something crunchy and wanted to sneak in some vegetables 🙂

So I tweaked my previous recipe: high protein, low carb mock focaccia.

Here’s what I did:

  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • into ½ cup 0% FAGE yogurt.
  • Add: 1 tbsp unprocessed bran
  • ½ cup Egg whites
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning mix + oregano + parsley + garlic + pepper
  • 2 scoops Unflavored ...

  • Four dogs in the house. We already have two big pitbulls, but my boo is like a regular Cesar Millan so he is always babysitting his client’s dogs.  We were planning on all going hiking today for our newly weekly hiking ritual, but the rain…rained on our parade. Boo!

Anyone want to do a protein powder exchange? I am interested in trying different flavors (especially PEANUT BUTTER flavors) but I have been buying the cartons and then they turn out gross and it is a waste of money. So, maybe we can send a little ziplock with protein powders to allow others to try them out without breaking the bank? For example, April I would love to try your Muscle Gauge protein powder (because I see online I would ...

Walden Farms is a brand that sells syrups, dips, sauces, salad dressings, jams, and other condiments. With “no calories, fat, carbs, gluten, or sugars of any kind!” Wow, what is this array of toxic chemicals I enjoy? Only 20 carcinogens per scoop? YUMMMYYYY.
