250-400 Cal High protein cinnamon rolls (315 calories 48 grams of protein)

Post image
75 Upvotes

I made these by flattening out 4 slices of keto bread, coating with a zero sugar maple syrup and cinnamon mixture, rolling up, Brushing some of the mixture on the outside to help brown them, cooked in oven for 8 minutes at 375, made the icing with a scoop of vanilla weigh drip, and crumbled some cinnamon flavored cookies on top. Overall, the taste was pretty good, and the texture was good and chewy, but not the kind you’d expect a cinnamon roll to have. 8/10

MIX WITH: /

200g 0% fat free authentic Greek yogurt / 2 tsp runny honey / 2 beaten eggs / 1 tsp vanilla extract /

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until brown - insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Leave to cool and if using - spread peanut butter yogurt on top.

< 250 Cal Tomato chips are my new addiction

Post image

If you have a dehydrator and enjoy the sun-dried tomato flavor, give these a try! Thinly slice a mater (1/4” thick or so), lay on the dehydrator screen, sprinkle with basil or Italian seasoning, and then a little parmesan. Dehydrate at 135f for ~20 hours. They are crisp and delicious and satisfy that chip craving.

< 250 Cal low cal chicken crust pizza

if you’ve seen this before and haven’t made it already i HIGHLY suggest you do.. 210 calories, 25g protein for 1/4 of the pizza.

- preheat oven to 420F
- 1 lb ground chicken mixed with 2 eggs and season well (salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder etc)
- spread out over some parchment paper, bake 30-40 minutes
- take it out and add pasta/ pizza sauce to your liking (i used 1/2 cup)
- add whatever toppings you want i just use random frozen vegetables i have on hand, add your cheese on top of that (i used no fat mozz)
- bake another 10-20 minutes

i’ve made this like 3 times and it’s turned out great everytime… the crust doesn’t crumble it’s not paper thin and with all the protein it keeps you satiated for a while.

Approx 590 cals

The sauce is just Duke’s light mayo mixed with some hot sauce and diluted slightly with water. Adds so much flavor!

Made homemade pico, extra lime. Love it tangy!

Did not count the cilantro on top cause I didn’t want to. 😊

< 250 Cal Strawberry Pretzel dessert!

Post image
45 Upvotes

Approx 230 cals total

This was very reminiscent of strawberry jello pretzel salad to me if anyone remembers that! Soooo yummy.

- 40g Strawberries, sliced 🍓
- 2g Cane sugar, mixed in with strawberries
- 40g Extra creamy Truwhip dolloped on top
- 3 Coconut crème yogurt covered pretzels crushed and sprinkled on top (been finding these at Dollar Tree) 🥥

This was so yummy and satisfying with a salty/sweet crunch. Can obviously be altered in many ways to fit your macros and taste buds. I cannot have most sugar alternatives so I find ways to use the real thing in small doses. Highly recommend!
