Okay, so I’m going to share the secret recipe to my world famous protein brownies! Enjoy the fruits of my labor
Ingredients:
9 egg whites
3 whole eggs
2 cups non-fat cottage cheese
4 scoops chocolate whey protein powder (approx 60 gms)
1 cup apple sauce
3-4 cups oatmeal (quick cooking kind)
1/4 cup almond flakes
1/4 cup walnut/pecan chunks
1/2 – 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp splenda or brown sugar
Utensils
Big metal mixing bowl
Whisk
1/2 cup measurer
1 tbsp measurer
2 baking pans (one to cook in, the other to cut and serve in. you can use one but i found that cutting the brownies ruined the pan over time. also don’t use cooking spray! your pan should have teflon coating and doesn’t need it. spray is full of chemicals and ruins the pan)
Instructions
First turn on your oven and set it to 400 degrees. It’ll be ready when you’re done with your mix.
Next get your eggs ready then add cottage cheese and whey protein powder. whisk!
Next add baking powder, splenda, cinnamon and vanilla extract. whisk!
Now add almond flakes, walnut chunks, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and apple sauce. whisk!
Last add oatmeal. whisk!
Put mix into baking pan. Set onto middle/top rack. Cook for 30 minutes. When finished, let cool for a few minutes, then transfer the entire cake to another baking pan (the one you cut and serve in).
I cut them into a dozen pieces. It’s a healthy snack that lasts me a few days. In between, keep the brownies in the serving pan (pan should have a cover that seals it, keeps moisture in and prevents them from drying out.).
As soon as the brownies are cooled off, put them in fridge right away. There’s cottage cheese in there and you don’t want them to spoil.
(be sure to drink a cup of water after eating, this helps to expand the fiber in the brownie and fill up your stomach. great for controlling hunger pangs)

1 cup of oats
blend all 3 ingredients in blender. pour batter onto frying pan. Gently toast both sides.
serve with non-fat butter spray and sugar-free maple syrup. enjoy!
This is a great recipe, it’s simple and easy to make, tastes great and is super healthy for you.
I’ve been leaning out fast lately and this change in my diet has helped a lot. Six to eight hours before bed, you want to cut out carbs like rice or pasta and instead, just eat vegetables.
I’m not a big fan of veggies or salads, but while I was touring Romania with Hollywood Men, I was served this dish every day and it’s the most delicious way for me to eat my veggies.
Here’s how:
Chop up a tomato and half a cucumber. Top with feta cheese. Sprinkle pepper. Add olive oil and vinegar. Mix it up. Voila! This salad is so tasty I eat it practically every day. The tomato contains fat burning properties and cucumber is a great fibrous and water bearing veggie. The cheese provides calcium and olive oil and vinegar are a healthy combo (as long as you don’t drench your food).

The anti-wrinkle cream Meaningful Beauty is the result of a collaboration between the model Cindy Crawford and Jean-Louis Sebagh, a French doctor. Legend has it that Cindy fell in love with the cream while shooting in France, but that it was too unstable to travel all the way to America with her. After entering semi-retirement, Cindy missed using the Meaningful Beauty cream and partnered with Dr. Sebagh and Guthy Renker in order to develop a more stable version suitable for shipping. This way, Cindy Crawford and women everywhere could experience the effects of Meaningful Beauty skincare for themselves. (more…)
