Low-Carb Shrimp Pad Thai with Shiritaki Noodles - 180 kcal/12g protein

Servings: 3 - 180 kcal/12g protein/5g carbs per serving

2 7-ounce packages shirataki fettuccini noodles

18 medium-size, wild-caught shrimp

2 pastured eggs, beaten

1 ½ tablespoons MCT or coconut oil, divided

2 tablespoons coconut aminos

1 lime, juiced and divided

1 teaspoon cashew butter

1 clove garlic, pressed or finely minced

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

¼ cup cilantro

2 green onions, chopped

sea salt

4 cashews, crushed (optional garnish)

1. Prepare shirataki noodles according to package directions (rinse for 15 seconds, then boil for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling water, then drain the noodles and place them in a dry skillet (no oil) over medium heat and “dry roast” them for 1 minute). Set aside.

2. In a small bowl, mix ¾ tablespoon MCT/coconut oil, coconut aminos, ½ of the lime juice, cashew butter, garlic and crushed red pepper. Set aside.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add remaining ¾ tablespoon MCT/coconut oil, shrimp and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for approximately 1 ½ to 2 minutes each side.

4. Move the shrimp to the side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the open area of the skillet. Quickly cook the eggs to a soft scramble, about 1 minute.

5. Add shirataki noodles, sauce mixture, cilantro and green onions to skillet with shrimp and eggs. Toss everything together and mix well. Heat until warmed through.

6. To finish, drizzle the rest of the fresh lime juice over entire skillet, taste for seasoning and add sea salt and/or more crushed red pepper if desired. Garnish with optional crushed cashews and serve.

Made a moussaka worth shouting about because it’s really low cal and super filling

This did 4 portions and I’ll do the calories for one dinner at the end.

Pulse mushrooms and garlic; cook in a pan with diced onion and carrot - cook in water (oil is unnecessary). Once soft, add the mince and brown. Make up and add beef stock. Put in the cubed potatoes. Add the peas and seasonings and leave to simmer for around 25 minutes.

In a different pan, dry fry the sliced aubergine until it’s softish.

To make the cheese sauce, add a tub of quark to a pan on a low heat with nutmeg and cinnamon. Let simmer then turn off the heat.

Put the mince mix in an oven proof tray. Layer on the aubergine. Spread on the cheese sauce. Grate the cheese on top.

Cook for 30 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees.

1 garlic clove 4cal

1 1/2 mushrooms 6cal

1/4 carrot 6cal

You don’t actually need the potatoes, or the cheese; I was cooking for more than just me so I had to be calorie conscious to not underfeed them

✨ 100 Calorie Smoothie ✨ — as much as I love using apps to log my cals and exercise, my food journal is like my bible- does anyone else keep one? I thought I’d share one of my most used recipes that I’ve written in there- this smoothie is super filling and tasty ☺️ — —— ——— ingredients: * 1 cup ice (0 cals) * 1 cup water (0 cals) * ½ cup frozen blueberries (43 cals) * ½ medium banana (27 cals) * ¼ cup macadamia milk (14 cals) * ¾ tsp honey (16 cals)

put it all in your blender and blend until smooth! ——— —— — ^ depending on how powerful your blender is and how thick you like your smoothies, you could add more/less water ^if you don’t need the added sweetness, don’t add honey! ^ if you want to further reduce the calories, you could also completely remove the milk and replace with a little more water ^ any milk substitute can be used in place of macadamia (I just love the taste!) calories will vary between types and brands of milk substitutes, so make sure to check yours!

Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps - 255 kcal/30g protein

Pumpkin Pudding (revisted)

Ingredients:

½ cup splenda

2 tablespoons cornstarch

½ cup of pumpkin puree

1 & ¾ cup light soy milk (either plain or vanilla)

pinch salt

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon allspice (or pumpkin pie spices)

whipping cream (optional, use soy whipping cream for vegan)

Handful walnuts chopped and 1 tablespoon maple syrup as optional garnish

Directions:

This is a very easy recipe to make. I used ½ of a small uchi kuri pumpkin (also known as Hokkaido) for the puree. As it was organic, I merely cut it in small pieces and steamed it. Within 5-6 minutes it was soft enough to puree. But canned pumpkin puree is also fine for the recipe.

Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl.

In a medium saucepan, heat the soy milk carefully, stirring constantly to make sure it does not scald.

Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture and stir well to mix.

Add the pumpkin puree and stir well.

Add the seasonings, salt and vanilla as well as spices.

As the mixture becomes thick and bubbly, stir well, and remove from the heat.

Pour into 4 parfait glasses.

Place in the refrigerator to chill for half an hour to 2 hours.

Garnish the pudding with a dollop of Soyatoo soy whipping cream and a few chopped walnuts with maple syrup.
