Peanut Butter Protein Cake

November 29, 2011 By The Sweaty Betties 9 Comments

Now before we jump into the deliciousness please note that this is not a low-calorie treat. It’s flourless but has plenty of peanut butter. Make it one day as a healthier treat option.

Ingredients
4 egg whites
2 egg yolks
3/4 c sugar substitute (stevia baking blend works REALLY well)
1 c pureed sweet potato (please cook it and peel it first)
3/4 c vanilla protein powder
1/2 c peanut butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350
Whip egg whites until stiff and set aside
Whip sweet potato, sugar substitute and egg yolks until combined, add peanut butter, protein then cinnamon and baking soda and powder. Fold in the egg whites (this is what will make the cake fluffy so take your time).
Place in muffin or other fun tins and bake for 20-25 minutes.

While they are baking whip up this frosting, add all ingredients and stir until combined:
1 c peanut butter
1/4 c sugar substitute
1/4 c brewed coffee (add more if you’d like a more runny frosting)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla protein

Once your cakes are done, frost them up and thank us later.

Ginger Protein Cupcakes

November 8, 2011 By The Sweaty Betties 2 Comments

I was inspired by another recipe to cook up something delicious that was more healthy than that of the recipe published in the pages in front of me. Because not everyone wants to live life without some delicious, moist and HEALTHY treats that taste indulgent, I went on a mission. The Sweaty Betties’ Ginger Protein Cupcake was BORN! Grab your oven mitts, mixer and preheat that oven, let’s get cookin!

Preheat Oven to 350

Grease your cupcake pan or line with cupcake liners

Cream together:

3 Egg Whites
1/3 c. Truvia
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. White Vinegar
1/3 c. Coconut Oil (melted if necessary)

In a Small Bowl Combine:
1/2 c. Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 c. Unsweetened Almond Milk

In a Medium Bowl Combine:
1 c. Oat Flour (or any other high fiber flour)
1 c. Vanilla Protein Powder
1 T. Ginger
1 tsp. Nutmeg
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder

Slowly add milk and flour mixture to the egg and truvia mix, making sure to mix ONLY until combined. Do not overmix

Divide evenly into prepared muffin tin, bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. During this time, whip up the frosting by combining and mixing thoroughly:

2/3 c. Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 c. Truvia
2 T. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp. Arrow Root Flour

Once the muffins are completely cooled, spread the frosting onto the muffins and garnish with lemon zest.

I hope you like them as much as we did!

Grilled Fruit Kabobs

November 8, 2011 By The Sweaty Betties 1 Comment

Oh my! You guys will love these, we went through an entire tray in two days and relished each bite.

Forget the nasty sugary candies- give these a try!

Soak ~15 kabobs in shallow water (to avoid starting a fire…but if you are a pyro and are into that, then you can skip this step)

1 pineapple cut into chunks
4 peaches, sliced
1/2 seedless watermelon

In a small bowl combine:
1/2 c. truvia or other sugar substitute
2 tsp cinnamon

Place all peaches in a bowl and toss in the above mixture, mix to coat evenly.
Get creative, start a pattern or place the fruit on the kabobs randomly

Grill the kabobs about 3 minutes per side, watching carefully to make sure they don’t burn.

EAT THEM!

EASIEST Pumpkin Dessert EVER

November 8, 2011 By The Sweaty Betties 4 Comments

So… If you don’t know me by now, I am NOT a cook. I don’t pretend to be and I don’t really like it. I’m fine with eating the same things everyday and the microwave is my best friend.

I buy things that are healthy but convenient..

and while I LOVE to eat special goodies, baked treats, etc.. I rarely will actually take the time to make them..

Which is why THIS recipe is PERFECT for me.. AND my sweet tooth.. AND my love of Fall and Pumpkin!

TWO INGREDIENTS:

1- Large Can of Pumpkin (or two small cans)

2- packet of Sugar-Free, Fat-Free Pudding Powder Mix (vanilla, butterscotch or cheesecake taste best)

DIRECTIONS:

Open can. Dump in Bowl. Open box of powder. Dump in bowl.

MIX TOGETHER!! (I use an electric beater thing.. its more fun)

Then Eat!!

You can refrigerate if you like.. even add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to taste.

Makes 4 servings.

Two Ingrdients = a Spectacular Dessert
