Third Tries a Sweet Success

Or Sweet Potato Success that is

I’m too excited about my current kitchen success that this entry isn’t chronological (especially ok considering nothing too interesting has been going on since my last post :p ). After boiling over my oatmeal, not once, but twice today, at two separate meals no less, I am so happy with my dinner experiment. I was behind in both carbs & protein so I concocted this baked delight adapted from a recipe from Kristin at Eat Oxygen. Behold, Sweet Potato Protein Muffins!

Sweet Potato Protein Muffins

7 oz Sweet Potato / Yam

1 scoop All The Whey Cake Bater Protein Powder

2 Egg Whites

3/4 tsp Baking Powder

Dash of Stevia Extract

Cinnamon to taste

Preheat oven to 350F. Use a hand mixer to blend up all the above ingredients. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20 minutes. Makes 6 muffins.

Batch: 376 calories, 0 g Fat, 57.5 Carbs, 35.5 g Protein

Per Muffin: 63 calories, 0 Fat, 9.5 Carbs, 6 Protein

Highlights

So nothing too crazy interesting has occurred since I last checked in. Yesterday was a productive workout day. Got in a great Shoulders & Back workout, did 30 min. Treadmill speed HIIT, then practiced my routine for a while. I was exhausted at the end up the day but managed to drag myself to the grocery store (I was scary low on Unsweetened Almond Breeze, a small emergency :p), and was pleased to finally find Pumpkin Tea and a Holiday mug!

Breakfast this morning rocked.. Pumpkin Swirl Oats: 1/3 cup Oats, 2 tbsp Oat Bran, 1/4 c Pumpkin, 1 tbsp Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Syrup, & lotsa Pumpkin Spice. Tea was a new minor obsession, Gingerbread Spice with SF English Toffee.
