What I Ate: 12/23/2009

• "Pig in a blanket": 1/3 tomato-herb flaxseed microwave muffin (53 kcals, 4g protein, 1g net carb, 3g fat) and 1 98% fat free turkey hot dog (40 kcals, 5g protein, 3g net carbs, o.5g fat) - Total (93 kcals, 9g protein, 4g net carbs, 3.5g fat)
• Thin mint shake: 1 scoop Inspire dutch chocolate cake protein (126 kcals, 30g protein, 2g net carbs, 0g fat) with 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa (10 kcals, 0g protein, 1g net carb, 0.5g fat), mixed into about 2.5 oz. water and DaVinci sugar-free peppermint and Torani sugar-free chocolate syrups over ice. - Total (136 kcals, 30g protein, 3g net carbs, 0.5g fat). This is the best this shake has turned out so far. Reducing the amount of water makes the shake taste much richer. Also, I only added a couple drops of peppermint syrup this time - last time, I added more and the shake took on a sort of mouthwash flavor. I think the only slight improvement would come from adding some sugar-free vanilla syrup or just vanilla flavoring. Will continue to tweak . . .
• Choconana protein shake: This is very simple! 1/2 bananas & cream Oh Yeah! and 1/2 vanilla creme Oh Yeah!, sugar-free Torani chocolate syrup, and 1 tsp. unsweetened Hershey's cocoa. Easy and way yummy! :-) (about 130 kcals, 17g protein, 3g net carbs, 5g fat)
