Patriotic Strawberry tres leches 🇺🇸 (300 cals, 28g protein)

I wanted to celebrate the 250th birthday of America with a Macro Friendly tres leches that all my macro conscious friends can enjoy. I used Claude to iterate a recipe that turned out fabulous. Here it is:

Ingredients

Cake
1 box Pillsbury Zero Sugar Yellow Cake Mix
3 whole eggs
3 egg whites
60 g melted unsalted butter
240 g Fairlife Whole Milk
18 g freeze dried strawberry powder
2 drops pink gel food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract

Tres Leches Soak
2 Core Power Elite Strawberry shakes
170 g regular evaporated milk
20 g freeze dried strawberry powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Whipped Topping
240 g heavy whipping cream
120 g Fairlife Whole Milk
4 g unflavored gelatin
15 g powdered allulose monk fruit blend
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Decoration
200 g strawberries sliced lengthwise
60 g blueberries

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
Separate egg yolks and whites.
Whip the egg whites (6 egg whites) til soft peaks
Mix together the cake mix, 3 egg yolk, butter, Fairlife milk, vanilla, strawberry powder, and food coloring until smooth.
Fold in egg whites in thirds

Bake for 28 min (shorter time due to our alterations) or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for about 20 minutes.
Poke holes every half inch across the cake.
Whisk together the Core Power, evaporated milk, strawberry powder, vanilla, and salt.
Slowly pour the soak over the cake in 3 to 4 additions, allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next. I recommend 5 min gaps between additions.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Bloom the gelatin in a small amount of the Fairlife milk.
Warm the remaining milk and dissolve the gelatin.
Chill until very cold and just beginning to thicken.
Whip the heavy cream with the sweetener, vanilla, and salt to soft peaks.
Slowly stream in the chilled gelatin milk while mixing.
Continue whipping until medium peaks form.
Spread evenly over the chilled cake.
Decorate with the blueberries and strawberry slices.

Arrange the blueberries in the upper left corner.
Arrange the strawberry slices into horizontal rows with the whipped topping showing between them to create an American flag.

Serve cold.

Spicy Salsa Recipe // My fridge pooped out, so here's a throwback Cooking w/ Oscar video *sorry for the quality* - new cooking vid coming next week!

For anyone who is wondering, I had a bit of a fridge issue. It stopped running! So, I had to buy a new fridge vatos... This caused a delay in the next video. Pero no te preocupes! It is on the guey.

I am happy to say the video was shot yesterday and should be released next week.

Enjoy this salsa video. It's my second ever cooking video shot on my crap phone. I hope you guys still enjoy it.

Ingredients:

Tomatoes

Onion

Jalapeños

Garlic

Cilantro

Chile de Arbol

Cumin

You want to get everything on a pan or comal, except for the cilantro, the chiles de arbol, and one clove of garlic (you can also opt to boil instead).

Get them as roasty toasty as you wanna! You mainly know they are done by the tomato skin breaking. The onion tends to take the longest.

Towards the end, when only the onion is left, put the chiles on the stove and get them a little roasty.

You can now blend all the ingredients but include our cilantro and a raw garlic clove. Also, add salt and some cumin, but not too much!

Boom!

That watermark is outdated. Its @wellrestedstudios on all platforms

The ULTIMATE breakfast!

Okay guys I just had to share this recipe with you, as it totally replaced oats for me. I used to eat oats daily for MONTHS but just got sick of them eventually.... so I wondered If I could upgrade my favourite porridge (semolina) to the point where it would be as filling as oatmeal.

So I made this volume MONSTER that packs these macros:

Kcal: 495
Protein: 37g
Carbs: 46g
Fiber: 17g
Fats: 17g

Ingredients:
- 30g semolina
- 25g protein powder
- 10g psyllium husk
- 200ml 1.5% milk
- 150ml water
- 10g cocoa powder
- 100g of berries (I just strawberries or raspberries, but any fruit can be used)
- 20g of peanut butter or dark chocolate (choc is better here)
- splash of syrup or honey on top (optional: I use chicory syrup for added fiber)
- pinch of salt and cinnamon for flavour (optional)

Instructions:
First we put the milk to boil and add the salt and cinnamon. We mix the protein powder with our water and mix it with the hot milk(so we get no protein powder clumps). Waint until the milk is really hot and add in both your semolina and psyllium husk. Now whisk it until it gets your desired consistency. Add your toppings and voilá. Dont forget to eat it as soon as possible.

Im the kind of person who has to eat HUGE portions of food in order to feel satiated, this totally suprised me and I even struggled to finish it.

Thanks and I hope it amazes you the same as It amazed me :)

Seeking Healthy Version of Favorite Comfort Recipe

Trying out the new rule! I have an all-time favorite recipe that is extremely simple and addmitely loaded on fats and carbs. I'm wondering how to make it healthier (less calories, lower sodium preferably, less fat and carb, higher protein if able). I don't have any diet restrictions so making it vegan/gluten free isn't a necessity but I'm open to it if it would make it inherently healthier.

It is a midwestern thing my grandma made so it's dear to my heart but wish it could be made better. Here is the existing recipe, sorry its not super exact, I tend to measure with my heart:

Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls

2 pillsbury crescents tubes precut (the tubes you smack on the counter to pop open)
3 cans of chicken (drain)
2 cans of low sodium cream of chicken soup
2% milk (I use one empty can to measure)
tons of shredded medium cheddar probably 2 cups at least?
4 oz container of goat cheese crumbles (optional)
garlic
half of a diced white onion
salt, pepper, season-all, garlic and onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning

  1. Combine cream of chicken soup, milk, and at least a cup of shredded cheddar in sauce pan - heat until boiling, at seasonings to taste
  2. pour some of this soup mixture into the bottom of a glass backing dish
  3. in bowl, combine drained chicken, more cheddar cheese, seasonings to taste, garlic, onion, and goat cheese if preferred.
  4. stuff chicken filling into Pillsbury crescent and roll up, place on top of sauce in glass baking dish.
  5. sprinkle extra filling on top of crescents if left over
  6. bake at 350 for 20ish minutes, take out and top with more cheese, bake 5-10 minutes more.
  7. plate and top with remaining sauce.

Any recommendations or is it doomed to be a 'in moderation' meal? My first idea was to add more veggies to the filling like peas and carrots so it's sort of like 'chicken pot pie' roll ups? This makes it more nutritional at least.

blueberry basil smash mocktail 🫐🌿 (my new favorite swap to dodge 1,500 empty alcohol calories a week)

summer is still in full swing and honestly my calorie deficit was fighting for its life with all the weekend patio drinks. i decided to try a "damp" lifestyle taper to cut back on the alcohol bloat, and i've been having so much fun making these zero proof craft cocktails instead.

actually seeing the math of the empty liquid calories and money i'm saving just by making these healthy swaps at home is literally the only thing keeping me motivated right now.

Suggestions for water flavor additives?

Hello all, I'm looking for some suggestions on healthier options for water flavor packets. I drink plenty of plain water, but sometimes I just need something more! I don't like too much flavor, so would love suggestions where I can choose how much flavor to add.

4 INGREDIENT BABY PANCAKES (Sweet Potato & Banana Pancakes) // Cooking w/ Oscar

I make this for lil Oscarita all the time!

Ingredients:

🥔 1 sweet potato

🥚 2-4 eggs

🍌 1 whole banana

🧈 Butter or oil of choice

*You can peel the potatoes before boiling*

*OR NOT - once they are cooked, the skin comes off pretty easily*

The first thing you wanna do is boil that potato, but before we do that, you wanna chop it into smaller bits to speed the boiling process up.

Make sure you check on them to ensure they are soft and done before pulling them out.

Once they are out, put them in a bowl, and we can begin peeling them (you can wait for them to cool if you're patient(I'm not)).

Now mash these bad boys with your favorite masher (or fork/spoon). Throw in the banana and do the same.

Now we can throw in our eggs. To start, add 2 to the bowl and mix it up. You will more than likely have to 1 or 2 more eggs to get the consistency more running and less solid (the reason for this is because the eggs make it puff up and stay whole).

* Reference the video to see consistency *

Now get your comal or pan nice and hot and add some butter or oil down.

Now we can start adding the mix, make them into nice circles, and wait for it to puff up. Flip and get it nice and golden brown.

Enjoy with some all natural maple syrup or peanut butter.

healthy +45g of protein veggie beef bowl!

I made this today for lunch and I’m so proud!! I have been a vegan for 6 years but I have a very specific condition that messes up my hormones and my nutrition had to change to include a bit of dairy and eggs. I am managing it the best I can, just trying to buy from local farms and eating it just at home. This was soooooo good I need to share it now!!

INGREDIENTS:
- spinach raw
- avocado (1/4)
- Sweet potato in cubes
- cherry tomatos (cut in half)
- cottage cheese (1 cup)

For the beef:
- small cup of textured soy, the kinda big chunks
- vegan minced meat (I always use a Spanish brand called Heura, it’s THE BEST both in taste and ingredients! So clean, with good macros and B12, and no harmful additives)
- 1.5 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 purple onion
- SPICES: garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, sweet paprika, spicy paprika, salt, cilantro

SAUCE:
- salsa valentina (or another hot sauce) to taste
- 2 tsp agave syrup
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- water to mix

TO VEGANIZE:
Substitute the cottage cheese for more veggies (more sweet potato, maybe add a carrot too! And cherries) and add a bit of cheese alternatives like Violife’s feta! Some walnuts would also go so so good, even as an addition if not veganizing.

PREPARATION:

  1. Cut sweet potato and tomatos and add a bit of olive oil and spices (same ones as for the beef). put them on a baking tray or air fryer. I put them on my oven at 190 celsius for the remainding tome as I was cooking the rest, around 30mins. You just need to make sure they’re crispy and not hard!

  2. Hydrate the textured soy, and then mix it with the onion, all spices and the vegan minced meat in a bowl. Then add to a pan, greased with preferably extra virgin olive oil. Cook in medium heat until crispy, time will depend on the brand of meat. Mine was around 10 mins.

  3. Cut avocado, and add it with the spinach & cottage cheese to your plate. Then mix all ingredients to make the sauce and pour most of it over the cheese. Add the minced meat, and when the sweet potato is done, add it too.

  4. Serve while hot, and pour the remainding sauce over the meat and veggies!! Enjoy 😋

Thanks in advance!

Drop healthy smoothie recipes pls!

I'm a bit of a health freak and love trying out new smoothie recipes, most of the stuff I make includes almonds, walnuts, dates & other dry fruits, so there's usually a lot of hard ingredients that i use recently started using a ninja blender &it's been good at handling all of that. Everything blends down easily and the smoothie is ready in 30-40 secs....this actually has made me experiment a lot more.

Would love some new healthy smoothie ideas. Any combos or suggestion for me to try?

Pancitos de Coco 🥥

Hola 👋 les traigo panacitos de coco fit.

¿Qué necesitas?

- 3 huevos
- ⁠1 bote de 125 g de yogur griego sin azúcar
- ⁠Media taza de coco natural rallado
- ⁠1/4 de taza de harina de almendra, avena o coco
- ⁠1 cucharada sopera de polvo para hornear
- ⁠1 pizca de sal
- ⁠Edulcorante al gusto
- Puedes agregar una medida de proteína de vainilla, si lo deseas. Yo lo hago todas las veces.

Para quitarle el sabor salado a tu coco natural rallado, déjalo reposar en un tazón con agua muy caliente durante 10 minutos y luego enjuaga.

Mezcla todos los ingredientes líquidos y luego incorpora los polvos, el coco rallado va al final.

Hornea entre 20 a 25 minutos a 180 grados centígrados. Puedes usar el molde de tu preferencia.

¡Disfruta! 😋
