1 1/4 cups whey protein isolate
1 1/4 cups almond meal
3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp linseed meal
1/4 cup plus 2 tsp ground sunflower seeds
1/4 cup psyllium husk

combine ingredients and store in a container in the fridge. you make it the same way as fibreX.

edited: i meant to give credit to someone from another forum for the cup measurements, as i had it at home in grams and forgot to bring it in, so i thought this would do for the time being. thanks zedgirl if you're ever around here!

For when I don't have time to cook anything!

Into the blender:

protein powder
water
2 raw eggs
flax seed oil

Then Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz

Tastes even better than a plain protein shake. The oil makes it smoother and the egg hides the taste of the oil. I tried adding psyllium also but it ends up too thick and pretty much undrinkable.

Now if I can only figure out how to get the bacon in there as well ...

What about making some mini quiches they are nice for brekky. I cook up bacon and mushrooms and either put in greased muffin tin or in a large quiche dish -
then mix up couple of handfulls of grated cheese, 3 or 4 eggs, plus I add some philly which I soften in the micro before adding.
Mix it all together - pour over the mushrooms and bacon - then cook. 180 for about that long!!! I cooked my large quiche for about 40 mins last week - and it was beautiful - my hubby didn't even realise it had no pastry - where as sometimes I think I take it out too soon - so just keep an eye on it.
You can then slice and freeze.

Ham and Egg thingos


Now I dont know what these are called but apparently Huey made them on his show.

Use a big greased muffin tin and place a slice (round) of ham into each
tin, break an egg into each, drizzle a little cream, salt and pepper and
chopped parsley over then bake in a low oven for about 8-10 minutes or
until egg just done.

Hey I was reading a hint on an easy way to make eggs, so that they cook whilst you get kids ready, use little dishes etc...

All you do is preheat oven to 180C, get out some ramekin dishes, melt a bit of coconut oil or butter in them, wack a couple of eggs in them, a dollop of cream on top,season it then chuck in the oven until the yolks are how you want them to be. You could add other variations to it like the ham and eggs cups, like a spinkle of parmesan cheese on top, slice of tomato or spinach on bottom, some mushroom etc...

[The way I do it is crack one egg into the ramekin, lightly season and add a little cheese, then crack another egg, season, top with more cheese then a dollop of pure cream and then sprinkle with parmesan.]

How easy is that? You could do enough for every body all in the one go, let them cool for a few minutes then serve as is!

I had totally forgot untill recently what I used to make for my lunch in the very beggining which was similar. What I used to do is chuck things like tomatoe, mushroom etc.. into a small cake type pan then beat up a batch of eggs, cream and seasonings, pour some over the top and put remainder in fridge for next time, maybe add cheese then in oven untill ready. But this ramekin idea would use even less dishes and less work hehe

[Sherrie]

I just made some for lunch and they were yum!!!

What I did was melted a dob of butter in the ramekin, greased the sides with it using a pastry brush, cracked open an egg in there, put some cheedar cheese on it, cracked another egg, added some more cheese a dollop of cream, then I seasoned it and sprinkle with parmesean cheese (the fine type) and wacked in the oven. Came out bubbling with a golden top, was great

What I reckon would be really really good is to make them in layers with some butter, ham, spinach leaf, 1 egg, leek, mushroom, cheddar, slice of tomatoe, cream, seasoning and parmesean.

An organic bakery near here does it but in a pastry like a pie, it is the best pie you will ever have

Sometimes (usually in summer) I like to put about a cup of organic yogurt, some fruit/lc jam, sweetener to taste, a tablespoon or two of cream, and (if I have any) a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the blender and mix it all together for a smoothie.
