Heather’s Chopped Broccoli Bacon Chicken Apple Slaw

by

Chopped Broccoli Bacon Chicken Apple Slaw

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

 

One-half of a crown of broccoli chopped,
1 TBSP of bacon,
3-ounces of diced chicken,
one-half of an apple diced,
2 celery stalks chopped,
4 TBSP light mayo or half-cup of whole organic yogurt,
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar,
2 Stevia packets, salt and pepper (to taste).

Here’s what you’ll do:

 

Put chopped broccoli, celery, apple, diced chicken, and bacon into your bowl. I use a salad chopper to get my slaw ingredients into even, bite-sized pieces. (However, if you don’t have a salad chopper or don’t want to bother with this step, you can skip it.) Next, pick either the mayo or yogurt and mix it with the apple cider vinegar, Stevia, and salt and pepper.

 

Serve immediately and enjoy!

 

Heather’s Pumpkin-Spice Protein Ice Cream

by

Pumpkin-Spice Protein Ice Cream

Here’s what you’ll need:

 

1/2 cup Greek plain yogurt

1 scoop of salted caramel Quest protein powder (or appropriate substitute)

3 cups of almond milk (unsweetened)

1 tsp pumpkin spice extract liquid (made by McCormick or Watkins)

4-6 packets of Stevia

1/2 tsp Guar gum

1/2 tsp Xanthan gum

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

 

Here’s what you’ll do:

 

Mix everything into a bowl. Next, you need to blend the ingredients. I use an immersion blender to get a really nice mixture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, then pour the contents of the bowl into your blender or food processor. After blending, pour contents into your ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions.

 

Add topping like dark chocolate hard shell or sugar-free chocolate syrup.

 

Enjoy!
