Spinach Fritata with added protein

Ingredients

  • 9 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce, 30 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, about 2 Tbsp chopped (optional)
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh spinach (or more), chopped (can use baby spinach)
  • 2 oz (56 g) goat cheese

Cooking Time

  • 20 minutes

Directions

1 Whisk together eggs, milk, Parm, salt, pepper: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Stir in the salt and pepper. Set aside.

2 Sauté onions, garlic: Heat olive olive oil in an oven-proof, stick-free skillet on medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and cook a minute more.

3 Add the chopped spinach, a handful at a time, use tongs to mix with the onions. As the fresh spinach begins to wilt and there is more room in the pan, add more of the fresh chopped spinach to the pan.

4 Add the egg mixture: Once the spinach has wilted, spread the mixture out evenly on bottom of the pan. Pour the egg Parmesan mixture over the spinach and onions.

Use a spatula to lift up the spinach mixture along the sides of the pan to let egg mixture flow underneath.

5 Sprinkle bits of goat cheese over the top of the frittata mixture.

6 Lower heat, cover and cook: Lower the heat to low and cover the pan. Let cook on the stovetop 10 to 13 minutes, until all but the center of the frittata is set. (You may need to check a few times, to see how well the frittata is setting.) The center should still be wiggly. Pre-heat the broiler.

7 Finish under the broiler: Set the oven rack in the top third of the oven. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes until the top is golden. Remove from oven with oven mitts and let cool for several minutes.

Protein Cookies

Cooking Time

  • 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 scoops PBN Vanilla Whey Protein powder — (36 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, salt, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Mix briskly until ingredients are well blended. Sprinkle the baking soda over the top. With a rubber spatula, work in the protein powder and coconut flour until well combined. The will seem very dry first but will continue to come together as you stir and push. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. At this point, judge your dough, as the amount of moisture may vary based on the brand of protein powder and nut butter you use. It should be slightly sticky but not a total mushy mess. If you need a firmer dough, add a bit more protein powder. For a looser dough, sprinkle the batter with a bit of milk (or almond milk) and with a spatula, fold it in until the dough comes together.
  4. With a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls and drop onto your prepared baking sheet (you will have 12 to 14 cookies total). With your fingers, gently flatten the tops of the cookies, as they will not spread but will puff up during baking. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, until the edges are barely golden brown and dry to the touch but the middles seem fairly doughy. Do not overbake! Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them directly to the wire rack to finish cooling.
