This recipe is adapted from my blueberry breakfast cake recipe.

Add the chocolate and raspberries last. Scoop onto baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes in my oven. I cut it into 12 slices for. This #recipe made 15 muffin tops at 6 G protein and 121 calories each! Note: to make a #vegan version, substitute nondairy milk for the protein milk, and eliminate the Greek yogurt and egg, for equal weight of mashed banana. #countingcalories #caloriecounting #healthyfood #breakfast #muffinrecipe #recipes #blueberries #healthyeating #healthyeatinghabits #healthylifestyle #yummy #cakeforbreakfast #healthybaking #lowcaloriemeal #recipe #lowcalorierecipes #lowcalorie #lowcal #greekyogurtrecipes #protein #proteinrecipes #eatinghealthy #nutrition #nutritionfacts #greekyogurt #bakingfromscratch #muffintops #healthymuffins

128 calorie meal, 6.2 g protein, the breakdown: 🫐 Blueberry Breakfast Cake (128 cal) My kids call this “Blueberry Breakfast Cake,” but the joke’s on them because there’s no butter/oil and each slice has over 6 g of protein and only 128 calories.

494 calorie meal, 48 g protein, the breakdown: Pad Thai (189 cal) Chicken Satay (229 cal) Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce (74 cal) I had a request for Pad Thai, so here we go! And I love getting recipe requests, so DM me whatever you’d like to see me make #lowcal. To make the Pad Thai efficient (on calories), I used half zucchini noodles and half traditional rice noodles. It’s loaded with flavor and texture too. I’ll share the recipes for all 3 below. This base Thai Sauce is used in the spicy peanut dipping sauce, the Pad Thai, and used to marinate the chicken. These quantities are enough to make all 3. Simply whisk all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside (can #makeahead). 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons fish sauce 1 tablespoon garlic chili paste Zest and juice of 2 limes 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup soy sauce Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce 6 tablespoons peanut butter powder (I use @pbfit.official) 1/3 of Thai Base Sauce (recipe above) 6 tablespoons water or stock 1/4 cup coconut cream Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and set aside. Note— I could drink this straight from a cup 🤪 Chicken Satay 1-2 lbs chicken tenderloins 1/3 Thai Base Sauce (recipe above) slice the chicken tenderloins in half into long strips. Marinate in bowl a couple hours or overnight. Put 2-3 on each skewer. Place oven rack on highest setting, set oven to broil. Broil 3-5 minutes on each side. Pad Thai (#vegan) 1 chopped onion 1 package zucchini noodles 4 cloves chopped garlic 2 teaspoons fresh ginger 1 cup julienned carrot 1/2 cup chopped peanuts 1/2 cup green onions 1 package traditional rice noodle 1/3 Thai Base Sauce (recipe above) First boil noodles according to package directions, drain, rinse, and set aside. In the same pan sauté garlic and onion. Once translucent, add ginger and zucchini. Cook a couple minutes and then add remaining ingredients and the Thai Base Sauce. Reduce slightly, and enjoy! #countingcalories #caloriecounting #calories #thaifood #homemadefood #homemadethaifood #spicypeanutsauce #healthy #heathyfood #recipes #healthyrecipes #yummy #healthylifestyle #dinner #healthydinner
