Ingredients:
1 Ā½ lbs shrimp, deveined and shelled
1Ā½ tsp salt
Ā½ tsp pepper
Ā¼ cup olive oil
5 cloves minced garlic
30 ounces grape tomatoes
2 cans cannellini beans, drained
Ā½ tsp Calabrian chili flakes (optional)
Ā½ cup fresh basil
Ā¾ lb spaghetti
-Use a scissor to cut the shrimp into small pieces. Season with Ā½ tsp salt and Ā¼ tsp pepper.

-While the shrimp cook, blend the reserved veggies until creamy. Add back to the pan with the shrimp and remove from heat.
-Once the spaghetti is cooked al dente, about 8-10 minutes, drag the pasta from the pot into the pot with the shrimp. By dragging the pasta you bring some of the starchy water over which will help thicken the sauce.
-Mix pasta into the sauce and serve warm.

Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers
-
Credit š„ @shredhappens ā¤ļø
-
.
If you love high protein, lowcarb meals with a Mediterranean spin, these stuffed peppers are just incredible! Get ready to get the best of lots of fresh herbs, weāre gonna use a lot of them here!
.
Hereās how I made it:
1. Roughly dice 2 yellow onions. Bring a pan to medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, add the onions, add 3-4 tbsp water, and sautee.
2. Once onions are transulent, add 2-3 large minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tbsp turmeric, a couple pinches of salt and pepper, and stir.
3. Now add 2lbs ground beef (I used 85/15) and bring the heat to medium-high. Season ground beef with 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp dried mint, 1 tbsp dried tarragon, and 1 tbsp dried savory. Continously mince with a spatula to get rid of any crumbles.
4. Once the meat is browned, squeeze the juice of half a lamin, add 2 tbsp tomato paste and 2/3 can tomato sauce (about 10oz), and stir for about 2 minutes.
5. Finally, add lots of fresh greens. Grab a large handful (or 1 cup) of each: fresh basil, fresh parsley, fresh chives, and a smaller handful (1/2 cup) each of fresh cilantro, and fresh dill. Roughly chop them and add on top of the meat and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat, and set aside.
7. Bring a sauce pan to medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 diced onion. Sautee until transulcent, then add 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 can (15oz) of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of water, the juice of half a lemon, a pinch of salt, pepper. Bring to a simmer, then set aside.
8. Grab 8-10 red bell peppers, cut about 1/4 inch down from the top and empty out the middle using a knife or a spoon. Spoon the meat mixture inside the peppers and place in a large pot. Once all peppers have been put in the pot, pour the liquid sauce from the sauce pan around the bell peppers, put the lid on, and cook on medium heat on stovetop for 35-45 minutes.
9. Remove, add a dollop of plain yogurt, some of the tomato sauce fr
MIDDLE EASTERN CHUCK ROAST
-
Credit š„ @shredhappens ā¤ļø

.
If you love having easy protein for easy meals all week, youāve got to try my middle eastern roast recipe. The meat here is so tasty, so juicy, and can be used for all sorts of meals, all week long! Weāre going to just use 1 oven-safe dish for this recipe. All it needs is 5 minutes of prep, then it all goes in the oven low and slow.
.
Here is how I made it:
.
1.Preheat oven to 350F.
.
2.Grab an oven-safe dish with a lid.
.
3.Pat down a 2.5lb chuck roast with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. Season both sides with a couple generous pinches of salt and pepper. Then rub in your spices. I used 1 1/2 tsp sumac, 1 1/4 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp marjoram, 1 tsp Aleppo pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp onion powder. Rub this equally on both sides.
.
4.Add 6-8 garlic cloves to the pot, pour in 24oz of bone broth, and as a final way to add a ton of flavor, add a 1 to 1.5 inch long small cinnamon stick.
.
5.Pop it in the oven with the lid on. Youāll want to put it in the oven for 1 hour for each pound, plus an extra hour. So for a 2.5lb chuck roast, I would have it in the oven for 3.5 hours.
.
6.After the 3.5 hours, remove, shred the beef using two forks, and put back in the oven for 15-30 minutes at 400F.
.
7.I love serving this with some thick greek yogurt (or labneh!) and pickled red onions. To make the pickled red onions, thinly slice 1 red onion and add it to a bowl with 4 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 to 2 tbsp sumac, a small pinch of salt, and the juice of 1 large lemon. Give it a few mixes over 15-20 minutes.
.
8.To serve, grab a large serving plate, top with dollops of greek yogurt, and some pickled onions on top. Garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy as is, with your favorite rice (white, brown, quinoa, or if youāre lowcarb, my Kaizen lowcarb rice!)
.
ENJOY

Iām actually freaking out that you can make the creamiest ice cream that tastes like straight up cheesecake ice cream but is actually good for you and LOADED with protein. The star ingredient? WHOLE MILK COTTAGE CHEESE. If you think you donāt like cottage cheese, this will still win you over.
I need to make other flavors asapā¦ Hit me with some flavors ideas in the comments!
Ingredients:
1 container of @good_culture whole milk cottage cheese
1/4 cup or more sweetener of your choice (I like to use raw honey or date syrup)
1-2 tbsp of natural peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions: Using a high powered blender, food processor, or immersion blender, add cottage cheese and sweetener and blend until itās silky smooth. Add in peanut butter and chocolate chips. Make swirls using a spoon and place it back into container. Top with more peanut butter and chocolate chips. Freeze for a few hours and enjoy!
PRO TIP: to make sure it does not turn icy, stir every hour or so while in freezer and donāt freeze longer than 4-5 hours.

THE BEST BROWNIES - CHOCOLATE. AVOCADO. BROWNIES. the best use for your lone avocado that youāre sick of putting on your toastā¦
-
Credit š„ @dadaeats
ā¤ļø
-
before I lose you / you raise your eyebrows let me just say that youād have NO idea there was an avocado in these brownies (itās kind of scary) they just act as a great butter replacement to make the best dairy-free and gluten-free brownies. Theyāre fluffy, cakey, and absolutely delicious - one of my favorite recipes from my cookbook (which if you donāt have by now, Iād like to understand youā¦link in bio). hope you enjoy! ā„ļø
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado
Ā¼ cup creamy peanut butter, plus more (optional) for topping
Ā¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 large eggs
Ā¾ cup coconut sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Ā½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
Ā½ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Ā¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Ā½ cup chocolate chips (optionalāinclude if you like a sweeter brownie)
Flaky sea salt or ice cream to top
Method
Preheat the oven to 350Ā°F and either grease an 8-inch square cake pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the avocado flesh with the peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, coconut sugar and vanilla. Blend until very smooth.
Add the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Blend until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth; you may need to scrape down the sides of the blender/processor to get it there.
Fold in the chocolate chips (if using) and transfer the brownie batter to your prepared cake pan.
Bake until the edges of the brownies begin to pull away slightly from the sides of the pan and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool in the pan before enjoying. Top with a drizzle of peanut butter, a pinch of sea salt or a scoop of ice cream (or all of the above, donāt let me stop you from living your life).

Have a sweet tooth like me and love a good healthy treat??

Yes, these are lowcarb.
.
Not sure about you, but Iām the type that loves ferrero rocher and Nutella so much, I just donāt even buy it š These are a great healthier alternative.
.
Hereās how I made it:
.
1.Starrt with roasting some raw hazelnuts. I grabbed 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts or raw hazelnuts. I prefer buying raw hazelnuts and roasting them in the oven at 275F for 21 minutes. Let them cool completely before using. This is *super super* important. Cooling takes about 2 hours. Be patient, itās worth it.
.
2. Wash and dry 1/3 to 1/2 cup of organic blackberries. Blueberries work, too.
.
3.Grab 1.5 cups of your favorite lowcarb/sugar free chocolate chips, and optional, add a tablespoon of coconut oil and melt them either on the stove top, or in the microwave in 20 second increments. This usually takes about 40-45 secs for me all in in the microwave. Dark or milk choc works just fine.
.
4.Toss the cooled roasted hazelnuts on a sheet pan, toss in the blackberries and cover with the melted chocolate, or drizzle it over it. The ratio of chocolate is up to you. If you want to keep it lighter, pour less, if you want more, pour more!
.
5. Top with a tablespoon or two of shredded coconut and salt flakes and place in freezer for about 30 mins.
.
6.Remove, break apart, and enjoy. Keep these in the fridge, and of course, grab some napkins because it might get a little messy but very worth it. Itās a delicious combo.
.
ENJOY!!

HIGH PROTEIN CHICKEN SALAD
-
Credit š„ @shredhappens ā¤ļø
-
.
This is arguably one of my most favorite chicken salads. Itās one of those meals you can prep easily in advance and have easy, versatile access to protein all week.
.
To keep it low carb, I used blueberries instead of grapes, but feel free to use grapes too..
.
And to reduce calories, you can modify the mayo down a bit with some more Greek yogurt. Feel free to add any other toppings you think you might like - adjust it to fit your taste buds. Eat as is, or with your favorite vessel of choice.
.
Here is how I made it:
.
1.Start with 2lb of left over rotisserie chicken or boiled/grilled chicken. Shred or dice the chicken. I like to get these relatively small. Add to a bowl.
.
2.Thinly slice celery (about 4-5 celery ribs, or ~ 1.5 cups), finely dice 1/2 shallot (about 1/3 cup), roughly chop a large handful of cilantro, and add to the same bowl.
.
3.Then wash and dry 1 pint of organic blueberries and add to the bowl with 1/3 to 1/2 cup peanuts. You can use whatever ratios you like here. And feel free to swap with another nut,
.
4.For the dressing, mix 2.5 tbsp mayo, 2.5 tbsp sour cream, juice of 1 lime, 1 to 1.5 tbsp honey or liquid sweetener, a couple pinches salt, and 1 tbsp of curry powder (I used garam masala).
.
5.Give everything a really good mix, making sure all the flavors are well incorporated and the chicken salad is fully covered. Taste, and adjust as you like,
.
You can easily store this in the fridge for 3-4 days to eat throughout the week. You can use it with lettuce wraps, bread, crackers, or devour on its own.. I love this combo and the different flavors + textures.
.
ENJOY

HIGH PROTEIN EGG SALAD
-
Credit š„ @shredhappens
ā¤ļø
-
This is a double dose of protein - instead of mayo, I used cottage cheese and this is just about the most filling egg salad youāll ever have. Its bursting with flavors, textures, and really keeps you satiated. Ingredients and full recipe below.
Ingredients:
4 Eggs
Fresh Cilantro - 1/3 cup, finely chopped
Fresh Mint - small handful, chopped
1/3 cup Red Onion, diced
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup pickled JalapeƱos or Pickles, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp Salsa Mocha, Garlic Chili Crisp, or Sriracha
1-2 tsp chipotle powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Boil 4 eggs. I bring a pot of water to a boil, add in eggs, and boil for 8-9 minutes.
2. Peel the eggs, and use a grater to grate them into a large mixing bowl.
3. In the bowl add 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro and small handful of fresh chopped fresh mint, 1/3 diced red onion.
4. Instead of mayo, I used 1/2 cup cottage cheese (you can blend/process the cottage cheese if you wish to get rid of the curds),add 2 tbsp dijon mustard,
5. I like to add some pickled cucumbers or jalapeƱos, so I finally chopped 1/2 cup pickled jalapeƱos (you can use pickles, too), then for some more spice added 1 to 2 tbsp of salsa mocha or garlic chili crisp. If you dont have it, sriracha would work fine as a sub.
6. Finally, season with a pinch or two of salt, 1 tsp to 2 tsp chipotle powder, and some fresh cracked pepper.
7. Give it a really good mix, taste, and adjust however way you wish
8. I topped a lowcarb cracker with a few tablespoons, added avocado, and some more salsa mocha.
This is SO good.

SPICY SALMON ROLLS
-
Credit š„ @shredhappens ā¤ļø

If you want an easy high protein, low carb lunch or dinner, then try making these simple salmon rolls. While sushi grade salmon wouldāve been amazing, I dont really have access to a lot of quality fresh seafood near me, so I used some leftover baked salmon and it was just as good.
These big seaweed nori sheets are the perfect low calorie, low carb base for just about anything.
The one thing about theseā¦ since Im not using rice, youāll want to make them as soon as you assemble them so they dont get soggy.
.
Feel free to get creative and use whatever you like!
.
This is how I made mine.
.
1.Lets start with some baked/cooled salmon. I used 1/2lb salmon. Mashed it in a bowl and added 2 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp Tamara rice, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, and some fresh cracked pepper. You can add anything else you want here like scallions, chili flakes, sesame seeds. Plus, if you want, you can make these in advance and store in the fridge for easy protein. Give it a really good mix, then taste and adjust as youād like
.
2.Grab a large seaweed sheet, lay it out, then fill it up with however much or little salmon salad you like. I added 3 heaping tablespoons.
.
3.Top it with your favorite veggies and toppings: I went with thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, fresh jalapeƱo spices or a little kick and crunch, carrots, avocado slices, and some furikake. Again, use what you like here- you can add rice, cream cheese, onion, asparagus, or any fillings you want.
.
4.Roll it up (donāt worry, just do the best you can, it doesnāt need to be perfect), cut it in half, then devour as is or with some soy/tamari, or this spicy sauce below which goes perfectly with is.
.
5.For the sauce, mix 2 tbsp mayo, 1-2 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy or tamari sauce, and give it a mix. Taste and adjust as you like. Want it lighter? Add a squeeze or so of lime juice
.
.
ENJOY!
