Clean, Protein Sweet Potato Pie!

-


Sweet potatoes are a staple for a lot of people when trying to lose weight. All of my friends who compete eat them during prep as they are a great source of complex carbohydrates, and they taste great. However, sometimes I get so tired of eating them. Thus I have been contemplating a different and fun way to consume them. This lead me to "clean, protein sweet potato pie". What I like about this recipe the most is; it is packed with with protein, a good amount of fiber and complex carbohydrates. This pie can be used a complete meal! Whether you want a healthy way to give into a sweet craving, or a nutritious meal to prep and go, this will be a great choice.

  • 3-4 small to medium sized sweet potatoes 
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 2 tablespoons of liquid Stevia OR 4 packs of Stevia
  • 1 scoop of protein powder of choice (vanilla works best)
  • Dash of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of organic whipped butter (healthier option of butters on the market)
  • Optional: low fat graham cracker crust
What you do:
  • Cut potatoes in half and boil until soft OR wrap potatoes in plastic wrap and microwave until soft (15-30 minutes)
  • When potatoes are close to finished, preheat over to 350 degrees
  • Once potatoes are soft, place in strainer to remove excess water
  • Place potatoes in large bowl and add all remaining ingredients 
  • Blend all ingredients with a mixer until well-blended. I use the lowest speed setting. Mixture will be thick. *I use a small mixer. If you do not have one, you could try mixing with a spoon or placing in a large blender.
  • Pour blended mixture into pie crust. If you are not using crust, pour in a pie pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes
  • Remove from oven, let cool for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!

Multitudes Of Individuals Often Wonder Does Capsiplex Work

-
By Evelyn Jones The naturally occurring ingredient, Capsicum, is clinically proven to stimulate metabolism and physically make weight loss easier. The Capsicum family of plants provides a wholesome way of reaching it but the amount of it that would need to be eaten makes buying extracts more convenient. Does Capsiplex work? Well, if the intention is to get a metabolic boost by ingesting more capsicum with less bother, yes, it does. Nothing will ever be able to replace a healthy way of life and moderation of diet as a replacement or shortcut for long term benefit. The advertising campaign displays banners and proclamations that will scream "clinically proven" and "scientifically researched", because they know that their clientele won't care enough to research which clinical lab or scientists did the work. Most of these clinical trials and scientists are paid for, as are the results that they reflect. Methodology is something that most people don't c...

Child Weight Tips For Parents By Demetrios Gabriel

-
By Katie Arden Childhood obesity, from what I have seen, is easily one of the most troublesome medical problems plaguing younger people today. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made it a point to mention that, back in 2012, around one third of adolescents were deemed to be over the healthy weight point. To say that this is an issue would be an understatement but it does not have to remain a problem. In fact, parents can attain tips from the best medical authorities, Demetrios Gabriel included. First of all, parents have to be mindful of just how much food that they are feeding their children. When a child says that they are full, it may not be the wisest choice to firmly tell them that they have to finish everything that is on their plate. Overeating is a serious problem and it is one that parents have to keep in mind when it comes to serving their children certain portions of food. It may seem like a challenge at first but, soon enough, moms and dads will...
