This tip shows you how to eat healthy and make the right choices for your body when making a protein shake.
Milk and water each give protein shakes different tastes and outcomes.
If you build your healthy meals around gaining weight and building muscle fast, you should use milk to make your protein shakes. It will give you extra protein and calories.
If you’re using protein shakes as diet food, make them with water. This way, you will avoid unnecessary calories.
Those that think they don’t like salmon because they have heard that it is fishy are missing out on this amazing fish. First, good salmon is not fishy and second, when prepared properly it is full of flavor and healthy nutrients such as 3gms of omega 3 fats per 1 6-oz salmon filet.
In a shallow bowl mix up the yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander and pepper. Then set aside 1/4 cup of the mixture. Add salmon to the remaining yogurt mixture and coat both sides of fish. Place fish on a grill or over high heat for 7-10 minutes only turning once about halfway through the cooking process. Use the 1/4 cup yogurt mixture as a dipping sauce for the salmon.
Combine all the ingredients except for the fish in a shallow bowl and mix well. Add the halibut and coat both sides of fish. Then cook on a grill or over high heat for 5-7 minutes, turning the fish once halfway through the cooking process.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a bowl and microwave until the butter and sugar have melted. Stir in mustard, honey and soy sauce. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the salmon filets with pepper and add them to the hot skillet, flesh side down. Cook them until brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip them and brush with half the honey mustard sauce. Place the pan in the oven.
Bake until the salmon is firm and flakes easily, which should be about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the filets with more honey mustard sauce.
Blend Prograde protein powder, banana and milk together in a blender until it is mixed well. Then put in the freezer until frozen. Once frozen then enjoy!
Tip: Healthy ice cream will come out harder than conventional high fat, high sugar ice creams. My suggestion is to portion out the blended mix into serving bowls or tupperware bowls and then freeze. Then just take out your serving and let it set on the counter for 10 minutes. If you can’t wait that long put it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so and then enjoy!

1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1 scoop Prograde Protein Vanilla
2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Almond Milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Blend ingredients together in a blender until a smooth consistency is reached. Pour into a bowl and place in freezer until frozen to an ice cream consistency.
Cinnamon is added because research has shown it to be a very good blood sugar controlling spice. Natural Peanut Butter is full of monounsaturated fat, this can help lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol, plus raise HDL (good) cholesterol. If you want a little less peanut butter taste you can use 1 Tbsp of Natural Peanut Butter and it reduces the fat grams by 3 and calories per serving by 24. When the ice cream comes out of the freezer let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes or warm it up slightly. The ice cream will be harder than high sugar, high fat conventional ice cream because it doesn’t contain all that excessive sugar and fat.
Here is a sandwich that not only tastes great, but is part of your healthy diet plans.
Roast Beef with Horseradish and Cucumbers
Mix horseradish with just enough mayo to make it spreadable and smear it on 2 slices of whole grain bread or rye bread.
Top with thinly sliced roast beef, sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced onion rings (optional) and spinach or another green leafy vegetable.
Add this to your healthy diet plans and tips for healthy eating since roast beef is lean, low in sodium and contains about 7gms of protein per slice or 1oz.
