Can a dessert have a high nutritional value and still taste good? Absolutely! All it takes is a little imagination, some healthy ingredients and a good appetite!

It can be made in about 15 minutes or less and depending on how much you make, the leftovers are perfect for breakfast, snacks or anytime you just need something yummy! It travels well, looks pretty and is perfect to bring to a party, BBQ, or to serve for guests.

Becky’s Whipped Cheese and Fruit Parfaits
1 Quart Lowfat Ricotta Cheese
3 Tablespoons Honey
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Mixed Fruit, washed and chopped

Put first three ingredients in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix the cheese, honey and vanilla for about 10 minutes until it forms a fluffy creamy texture.

Layer ¼ cup of whipped cheese mixture in cup with mixed fruit or berries; create 2 – 3 layers of fruit and cheese and serve chilled. This can also be made in a single serve large bowl, rather than individual parfaits.
Enjoy without the guilt!

Becky’s Chocolate Protein Shake that is SUPER YUMMY!

Hey everyone!

So many of you know- my protein shake of choice is Isopure in the Bottle….it is zero carb, 40 grams of protein, 160 calories….and you can gulp it down with no tummy remorse (no gas bloating etc.). It is the perfect meal on the run. Last week I went to visit my grandma in Florida and was unable to travel with glass bottles filled with liquid…..(scary world we live in); so I had 2 chocolate protein powder packs from GNC – that needed to be used or thrown out – so I tossed them in my bag thinking I would like to try something new with them in my free time while granny sitting…..

When I got to Florida I whipped together this following Chocolate smoothie – and it was AMAZING! In fact, I will make one for a snack later today!

Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE:
1 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
1 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla or Chocolate Almond Milk
1 Frozen Banana
2-3 Ice cubes
1 shot of expresso or chilled strong coffee (optional)

Blend until smooth!

Until next time -
Stay Focused Until the Miracle Happens!
To your sucess and health,
Becky
