Singing Canary Pudding!! - FP

    This is very cool! I love the Singing Canary but I don't always drink it in a timely fashion. I also didn't particularly care for the Lemon Mousse recipe in the Trim Healthy Mama Book. My mom loves it, but I always thought something was missing. 

    Well Mom and I agree. This is great!!! It should have all the same health properties of the drink version (except maybe the hydrating one because your not drinking water with it). This is BURSTING with flavor. And what a pretty color! I might make this for the nephews and niece when they visit next. I would love to get their feedback.

Singing Canary Pudding - FP

1 Batch of the Original Singing Canary Recipe

1 1/2 - 2 tsp of Glucomannan

Make the Singing Canary Recipe as per instructions.

Do not pour over ice and do not add more water.

Leave concentrate in Blender.

Slowly add the glucomannan and blend, blend, blend.

A good method is to add about 1/2 tsp, blend for 2-3 minutes, let it rest for about 1 minute.

Add 1/2 tsp, blend for 2-3 minutes, let it rest for about 1 minute, etc.

 until you have reached desired consistency.

Remember, it WILL thicken as it sits in the refrigerator.

note: If you don't like the white pith in your Singing Canary drink, don't put it in here.

I left the turmeric in mine for the added health benefits. You could omit it if you'd just like

a nice lemon pudding (but it wouldn't be the eye-opening canary yellow).

Enjoy!! Let me know what you think.

Pumpkin Pie Mousse - FP

 

                                                 I'm not a huge animal fan, but one must admit, this is pretty cute!

 Folks, I am always on the lookout for fuel pull breakfasts. I am still trying to lose a small cow few pounds (40, that's a few right?) so I try to have fuel pull breakfasts often. There are not enough recipes to keep things interesting.

    I love the Fat Stripping Frappa recipe from the Trim Healthy Mama book, but I don't really like drinking it when its cold outside. I like the Muffin in a Bowl, but not all the time. There are really too few fuel pull breakfast recipes. I think this makes a nice addition to the fuel pull line up!

    This would also work for a nice dessert or snack! I love recipes that can pull double duty!

    I don't know where I got this recipe. If it's your's, I'm sorry! Please let me know and I'll give you the credit and a link back.

Pumpkin Pie Mousse - FP

1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese

1/3 cup of pumpkin

1/2 tsp of Vanilla

1/2 tsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice

sweetener, to taste

Blend all ingredients together. You may want to add some liquid

if it is not blending easily.

Refrigerate until chilled.

( I was in a hurry. I just stuck mine in the freezer for a couple minutes)

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino - FP

   

    The Trim Healthy Mama book recommended a website called Chocolate Covered Katie. This sounded like a fantastic place to go. I'm basically all for anything chocolate covered! I've found a few little gems over there that were easily converted to THM recipes.

    One of my favorites is this one! I love that it is fuel pull. I freeze this in two separate ice cube trays and then put them in separate bags in the freezer so it's ready whenever I am.

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccinos

 

2 cups of Almond Milk

1/2 tsp of Vanilla Extract

2 tsp of instant Coffee Granules

pinch of salt

plan approved sweetener of choice, to taste

1/2 cup of canned Pumpkin

1/4 tsp of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

 

 

Mix the ingredients together in bowl or blender.

Pour into one or two ice cube trays or two shallow

containers. Freeze. Once frozen, pop the cubes or blocks out of the containers

and thaw until just soft enough for your blender to be able to handle it.

Blend until desired slushiness is reached. Add extra sweetener if needed, but

do NOT add ice! It will dilute the flavor.

Pour into two glasses and enjoy!



Chocolate Raspberry Pudding - FP

  Oh Wow!! I really liked this recipe! It was a nice change from the regular Fuel Pull breakfast recipes. I will probably start eating this once a week or so until I reach my goal weight (60 pounds down, 40 to go). I'll still eat it after that I'm sure, just not as frequently. 


    Before I go to bed at night, I like to have a general idea about what I'm going to have for breakfast. I knew I wanted fuel pull, but I wasn't 'in the mood' for any of the fuel pull breakfast recipes I already have. I decided the recipe I was closest to wanting was the Chia Tapioca Pudding Recipe from the Trim Healthy Mama book. So I decided to go downstairs and make it up quick so it would be ready in the morning.

    When I started making the recipe, I began having all kinds of random inspiration (this was at 1:00 in the morning, I was clearly wired from too much coffee, too close to bedtime).

    After I was finished, It took me a whole five minutes forever to get to sleep because I was so excited to see how this turned out. I was like a kid at Christmas. It was pretty pathetic.

    This recipe will make a VERY nice breakfast or you can use it for a snack or dessert (I love the three in one recipes)!

    I was only a little disappointed. But then I tweaked it just a little further, and it was Christmas again!                                                 

             

 

 

Chocolate Raspberry* Pudding - FP

 

1 1/2 cups of Almond Milk

2 Tbsp of Cocoa Powder

1/2 tsp of Glucomannan

3 Tbsp of Xylitol

splash of Vanilla Extract

1 tsp of Coconut Oil

1/2 scoop of Protein Powder

1 Tbsp of Chia Seeds

A few Raspberries

 

Put first seven ingredients into a Magic Bullet type cup or your blender.

Blend for about a minute.

You want it noticeably thicker than the milk, but thinner than actual pudding.

Pour into a container and stir in chia seeds and raspberries.

Refrigerate overnight (give another good stir right before going to bed).

Eat pudding for breakfast (or snack, or dessert)

 

The next time I make this I am going to try to use 4 Tbsp of SJC 

and another 1/2 tsp of glucomannan for a slightly cheaper recipe.

 

* You don't have to use raspberries. You can basically use any berry.

I'm going to try chocolate strawberry next!
