These recipes are quick and easy and perfect for busy weeknights.


HIGH PROTEIN EGG BITES
1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil (for the pan)
6 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk cottage cheese
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Additions:
Spinach, smoked salmon, feta cheese, roasted red bell pepper, green onions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a nonstick muffin tin. In a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Divide egg mixture in muffin tin and evenly sprinkle your additions of choice. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

PESTO PROTEIN PASTA
protein pasta (I use @barilla protein pasta)
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large cucumber, diced
colored bell peppers, diced
1/2 red onion, diced

Pesto dressing:
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup pesto

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Dice all your veggies. In a large bowl, whisk dressing ingredients and add veggies and pasta. Mix well. Distribute pasta amongst 4 containers. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

CHICKEN SKEWERS
Preheat oven to 400F.
Cut 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenderloins into 1.5 inch to 2 inch pieces. Add to a bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp turmeric. Add 1.5 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, the juice of 1 small lemon and lemon zest, and 3 pressed garlic cloves. Mix really well together and skewer them. Add fresh onions on top or in between (optional). Add skewers to a sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven for about 30 minutes.

TOFU CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
100g 70% dark chocolate, melted
2 heaped tsp high quality cocoa powder
2 heaped tsp honey
Pinch of salt
300g block of silken tofu (I could not find silken so I used firm and it was just as good!!)

Blend all ingredients together & store in an airtight container
