Recovery Slice 'Zesty Cran Whey Almond'

~ A slice of juicy citrus cranberries and whey, simply mixed and set in the fridge ~
‘Orange tang squares with super Cranberries and Almonds, using
quality Whey protein. NOT COOKED but set in the fridge within the hour. As a side note ‘Never cook Whey protein’ if wanting to retain all its quality. Making your own Workout bars is so easy, simply crush together, mix and refrigerate No preservatives, low sodium (Only naturally occurring) This one has no added colours and is surprisingly low in natural carbs, the perfect post weight training food. The ingredient combination is endless and this is my first trial and I love it. Combinations can be tailored to dietary requirements, which is the other major benefit for making this DIY post workout slice. Don’t forget there’s more post Links at the end of this creation. Enjoy :D'
From Chapter 07 Sweet Treatfit (C) 0 Starch Link
... What I Used;
Dried cranberries (Sugar cane free)
RAW Almonds
Banana Whey
Natvia Sweetener Natural
PURE Vanilla Essence
Orange pulp, juice and zest
... Add whole RAW Almonds, Flax-seeds brown, and Sugar-cane free Cranberries to the food processor
... Add a spoonful of natural minimal carb sweetener - I'm using Natvia in this batch, plus a good quality Vanilla or Banana Whey (Avoid allot of tubs marketed to women if female due to all the added nonsense and usually soy protein and carbs, stick to the pure stuff meant for building muscle - if unsure ask some builders at the gym which they use. I like Max's Superwhey or Max's Supershred) then halve up the oranges
... In a separate bowl juice the orange, scooping out the pulp to add lastly to the juice. Add the Vanilla essence to the juice mix. Add the juice mix to the fruity almond whey mix to combine. Zest the orange skins to the mix
... Pull out a tray or container to set in, lining with Baking paper (Wax side up) Pour in. Spread and Pat down firmly, pre-cutting into Squares before setting in the fridge for 1 hour minimum. My fav post workout powerhouse treat, you'd never want another commercial bar again. Bugger all sodium here unlike commercial protein/health bars. It will keep for about a week only, due having no chemicals or added preservatives even natural preservative at that. (Totally freezable)
