158 Calorie Hearty Jalapeno Cornbread





Whole Foods makes amazing jalapeno cornbread - but it isn't gluten free - so I decided to try making my own version - (more variations of gluten and dairy free cornbread coming in the future!)

This makes a single serving - you may want to add more stevia/jalapenos depending on how sweet or spicy you want it to be - I topped mine with some Earth Balance Vegan Butter :)



Recipe:

1/3 cup corn flour - 145 cal
1 tbsp and 1 tsp almond milk - 3 cal
1/2 tsp stevia - 0 cal
2-3 jalapenos - 2 cal
1 tbsp egg whites - 8 cal                      
= 158 cal


1. Preheat over to 450 degrees
2.Mix together the corn flour, almond milk, stevia and egg whites
3. Chop up the jalapenos and stir into the batter
4. Press batter into small greased baking dish
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes - let cool, serve warm with butter if desired




75 Calorie Chocolate Mint Protein Shake




"So Delicious" makes some seriously delicious holiday flavored Coconut Milk drinks - one is Chocolate Mint flavored - this protein shake tastes really similar to that but it has the added benefit of protein!



Recipe:
1/2 serving chocolate protein powder - 45 calories
3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk - 30 calories
1/8 teaspoon Peppermint Extract                              
= 75 calories


1. Blend together all ingredients
2. Refrigerate or add ice cubes if desired

210 Calorie Garlic Pepper Shrimp and Broccoli



This is a really easy dinner recipe, and I (almost) always have these ingredients on hand so it's a good go-to dinner :)

All you need it broccoli, shrimp and some spices to whip this up 
- and it is gluten free, dairy free, and paleo :)





 Recipe:
4 cups Broccoli - 120 calories
6 oz. Shrimp(about 10) - 90 calories
Garlic Salt & Pepper to taste               
= 210 calories



1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Spread broccoli florets on a foil lined baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle pepper and garlic salt on top
3. Bake broccoli for 25 minutes
4. While the broccoli is cooking thaw out the shrimp
5. Add the shrimp to a skillet and heat through - top with pepper and garlic salt
6. Take the broccoli out of the oven, top with shrimp :)
