Cookies and cream shake

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1 fueling  1/2 condiment  1 finely chopped up chocolate drizzle bar - fueling  1 vanilla shake - fueling  2 Tablespoons sugar free cheesecake pudding dry        mix- 2 condiments  Ice  Water (Add 1/2 cup of unsweetened plain almond milk in place of the water to make it creamier but add 1/2 condiment.)  Ok I know you are looking at the ingredients thinking that 2 servings. No!! Keep reading.  So what I did is chopped 1 chocolate drizzle bar in small pieces and put in my blender or ninja. Add to that 1 vanilla shake packet and the 2 Tablespoons sugar free cheesecake pudding mix. Blend till it’s all incorporated and the cookie is completely ground up. It should look like a cookies and cream shake mix. Divide that mix into 2. I measured 1/2 cup per serving. I put one serving in a zip lock  bag for another time. To the other one I added ice and water and blended good till shake like. Omg yes!!

1 serving  Each serving provides  2 healthy fats 1 condiment  1 leanest  1 green 8 oz. large raw shrimp  2.63 oz. cherry or grape tomatoes  2 Tablespoons pesto  1 Tablespoon fresh Parmesan cheese  I use large raw shrimp. Use a toothpick and make your shrimp bundles. Put a cherry tomato in the middle of your raw shrimp and skewer it with the toothpick. This is why I use large or exlarge shrimp. Lightly brush your pesto on both sides of you shrimp bundles. I put mine on the bbq outside to cook flipping occasionally; cook just till they turn pink. If some of your pesto is on your plate than gently brush on while they are cooking. I use a grill mat on my grill so as to not lose any. The may also works perfect when cooking fish on the grill. Place on a plate and sprinkle with your fresh Parmesan. Great hot or cold   This recipe serves one but making a bigger batch and taking to a bbq social would be awesome. You still have 2 greens and 2 condiments left to eat for the day. You can get gril
