Try This High-Protein Dessert on Your Fat Loss Diet

Today’s guest blog post – and AWESOME recipe – is from Ian Graham of Athletic Body System

Eating clean need not be so bland and boring… and dessert is still an option.

I always encourage people to allow themselves a treat or cheat meal once per week. Now some people , when cheating, still like to keep their cheats ‘healthy’ if they can and this dessert recipe will do just that if you are someone who wants to keep your ‘cheats’ as ‘clean’ as possible!

REMEMBER… You won’t be consuming this dish on a regular basis, maybe once every week or two, so you should not feel bad about consuming it. You can also adjust the ingredients and quantities to suit your own needs.

  • 150grams zero fat-high protein greek yogurt
  • 1/2 scoop (15-20grams) banana whey protein powder
  • 1/2 organic banana
  • 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon of organic cocoa nibs
  • 1 organic cherry (frozen or fresh).
  • Directions:

    1: Mix 100grams of the greek yogurt with the 15-20grams of banana whey protein powder untila smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. This will form a custard like mixture. Now spoon it into your dish or cup.

    2: Chop up your 1/2 banana into thin slices and layer on top of the ‘custard like’ mix of greek yogurt and protein powder.

    3: Sprinkle a teaspoon of chopped walnuts over the banana.

    4: Whip up the remaining 50 grams of greek yogurt until smooth and creamy looking…. before spooning over the top of the banana and walnuts.

    5: Sprinkle a teaspoon of organic cocoa nibs over the top of the creamy greek yogurt topping.

    6: Place a cherry on top.

    NOW… Go grab a spoon and enjoy! This is a rich and creamy dessert and could easily be divided into two servings or shared between two people!

    Try This Fat Loss Powerhouse for Lunch

    Here is one of my favorite lunch time feasts – it has fat-burning protein, monounsaturated fat and lots of fiber!  And even a non-cook like me can whip this up in no time:

    Cook 2 cloves of minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant.  Add 1 pound of peeled shrimp (I like to take the tails off as well), sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the shrimp is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.  Mash an avocado with 2 Tablespoons of minced onion (the dried kind is good), 1 teaspoon of garlic, 1 teaspoon of diced chili, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Serve the shrimp and guacamole with heated high-protein, high-fiber tortillas.
