Citrus Mixed Fruit Berry Protein Smoothie

So ever since I purchased my GNC Whey Protein Powder I have been addicted to making smoothies. This week I wanted to share one of my many recipe combinations.  I was feeling for something tangy, sweet, and citrus. I searched around my house and found the perfect fruits to combine in my handy one serving size Hamilton Beach Blender.  (I'll do a review on this baby in the near future) 

I know you're probably wondering how the heck does mixed berries and citrus taste but I promise you it is nothing short of delicious. It may seem unusual but the protein powder balances out majority of the taste!

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop of GNC Mixed Berry Whey Protien Powder
• 1 Dole Grapefruit Cup 
• 1 Orange
• 1 cup of Strawberries
• 1/2 Banana
• 4 cubes of ice

Instructions:

• Combine all ingredients
• And mix in your blender until your preference
• Enjoy!

Okay so here’s my version! Due to the fact that I didn’t follow the recipe when I went to the grocery store I picked up the wrong amount of cake mix. I bought a cake mix that had about 3 oz’s less, so what I did to supplement that I poured 3 oz’s less of club soda.  Other than that I followed the directions as listed and decided to add a little décor to my cake (sprinkles of course)!!!! Oh and I added some chocolate frosting! So I decided to use half of the frosting and that adds about 50 calories or < to the recipe. I just can’t do regular cake without icing..... So here's my picts……

Ending result……. Fabulous, inexpensive and HEAAALLLTHHHYYY!!!WooooHooo

No Harm Parm Recipe

Hey Ladies,

It’s Glo I’m back with a recipe courtesy of Hungry Girl. I’ve made this meal and it’s very delish! And for the amount of calories/points it can’t be beat. I found this recipe to be very simple and easy to make, and let me not forget affordable $! I hope you find this dish to be interesting as I did and turn on the stove lol! Be sure to share your experience if you decide to make this!!!

Ingredients:
5 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast (raw)
1/3 cup Fiber One cereal
1/4 cup Egg Beaters, Original**
3/4 tsp. reduced fat grated parmesan cheese
1 oz. (approx. 1/4 cup) shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup canned tomato sauce
Optional: garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt and pepper 

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add Parmesan to crumbs (if desired, season crumbs with optional spices, as well). Place crumbs in one small dish and Egg Beaters in another. Next, pound your chicken so it's a bit flattened. Coat raw chicken on both sides with egg substitute, and then coat with crumb mixture. Place chicken on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Spray a light mist of nonstick spray on top of chicken and place in oven. Cook for 10 minutes, and then turn chicken over. Add another light mist of nonstick spray and cook for an additional 10 - 12 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked and coating looks crispy). Meanwhile, if desired, mix tomato sauce with your seasonings of choice. Remove chicken from oven, top with sauce and then cheese, and return chicken to oven until cheese is melted. Enjoy! Serves 1.
