  4. Nutrition Packed Meal Replacement Jello

    4 servings

    1 packet Sugar Free Jello, your favorite flavor
    2 cups low-fat or no-fat cottage cheese
    1 serving of vanilla protein powder
    1 can or about 2 servings of fresh fruit

    Blend cottage cheese and protein powder together in the blender. While it blends, boil one cup of water and if your fruit is canned, drain and run under water to rinse off excess sugars. Divide fruit between 4 containers (I use glad throwaway containers, they are just the right size).

    When water boils, add it to the jello and dissolve. Slowly add the jello to cottage cheese/ protein powder mixture and let the blender run for about a minute.

    Pour the cottage cheese mixture evenly between the 4 containers.

    Chill for 4 more hours. Add a dollop of Redi-whip tothe top and enjoy (real whipped cream, come on its only 20 calories, 2g fat, less than 1 carb).

    It’s so so so good and I can’t even explain it. It’s like mousse with little bits of nirvana in it. I do this with:

    • Orange Jello & mandarin orange slices
    • Lime Jello & crushed pineapple
    • Strawberry Jello & peaches
    • Cranberry Jello & fresh raspberries

    For a real treat add 2/3 cups of strawberries to the cottage cheese mixture along with the jello and pour over fresh strawberries.

  9. Training-time Tacos

    1 lb. ground turkey breast
    1 packet taco seasoning (use your favorite or try Simply Organic Brand Southwest Taco Seasoning)
    1/2 cup water
    6 taco sized corn tortillas (try Mission Extra Thin) or low-carb whole wheat flour tortillas (try La Tortilla Factory)
    3 oz. reduced-fat cheddar, jack or mozzarella cheese (3g of fat per ounce or less)
    1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
    1 cup chopped plum tomatoes (or any tomato in season)
    3 Tbsp. taco sauce
    Cooking spray

    Lightly spray a medium frying pan with cooking spray and place it over medium heat. Add the turkey. Using a wooden spoon, crumble the turkey and continue to cook it until it is no longer pink.

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the taco seasoning with the water and stir it until all lumps are removed. Stir the mixture into the turkey and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook the mixture until it thickens. Warm the tortillas in the microwave, preferably on low heat, for about 15 seconds, or in an oven preheated to 400 degrees F for about 2-4 minutes or until warm.

    Divide the cheese and sprinkle it evenly over half of each warm tortilla. Spoon the turkey mixture evenly over the cheese, then add the lettuce, tomato and taco sauce. Fold each tortilla in half to form the taco, making sure the filling remains inside. Serve immediately. Makes six tacos.

    Nutrition per taco:
    (made with La Tortilla Factory Tortillas): 149 calories, 16g protein, 20g carbohydrate, 4g fat, 10g fiber
    (made with Mission Extra Thin Corn Tortillas): 134 calories, 12g protein, 17g carbohydrate, 2g fat, 1.5g fiber
