Skinny Shrimp Scampi over Low Carb Zoodles - 170 kcal/11g protein

2 servings. 170 kcal/11g protein per serving

2 large zucchini, cut into noodles (3 cups of zoodles) see prep tip below

2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

12 large shrimp, shelled and deveined (about ½ pound), I used frozen and defrosted

2½ tablespoons white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth

1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated

1. Prepare zoodles, see prep tip below. Place zoodles in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, until softened.

2. In the meantime, in a large nonstick pan, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

3. Add shrimp to pan and cook, stirring often, until they are cooked throughout and pink on all sides, about 2 minutes. Season shrimp with a little salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.

4. Increase heat to medium. To the same pan, add white wine and lemon juice. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Add the softened zucchini noodles and cooked shrimp. Toss to combine and heat about 30 seconds.

5. Divide the zoodles among 2 plates and spread out over the plate. Top each with 6 shrimp. Sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings. Each serving 6 shrimp and ½ the zoodles.

Low Cal Banana Pancakes

10 pancakes/25.4kcal each

254kcal for the full recipe

Ingredients

1 banana (The one I used was about 125g) - 112kcal

2 egg whites - 34kcal

30g/¼ cup of all purpose flour - 110kcal

1 tsp baking powder - 0kcal

Recipe

Step 1: Cut the banana in small piece and then smash it in a bowl until it looks like a puree. You can also blend them if you prefer.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until you reach stiff peaks.

Step 3: Slowly fold in the egg whites in the banana using a spatula or a spoon.

Step 4: Slowly fold in the flour and the baking powder in the mixture.

Step 5: Preheat a NON-STICK PAN. When the pan is hot, put about a huge spoonful of batter on it and then cover the pan with a lid. Flip it when the bottom looks cooked and then cook the other side for a minute or 2. Repeat until the batter is done.

Step 6: Enjoy!!

* Using a Non-Stick pan is very important or else it will stick.

* I used a non-stick panini grill because it's all I had but it still worked.

* I ate 5 of the pancakes and kept the rest in the freezer.

NOTE:     Sorry for the long introduction, in some ways in contains an addendum which explains the gaps and breakdowns in my undergraduate performance. Also I’m sorry that notes are not a traditional way to begin a critical essay

  There are many reasons why Nabokov is not a household name in the same way that classical lyricists such as Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and T.S. Eliot might be to your average college graduate. For, Vladimir Nabokov once wrote the most morally questionable book of the 20th century. Plastered around Spain you might notice the sardonic ire that taints storefronts labeled Lola, Lolita, and worst of all Sweet Lolita. For a second I imagined myself capable of writing a thesis on the history of the book, but as I dove deeper into the subject my frustrations boiled until I quite literally lost my mind.

115 Calorie Muffins!

This recipe can be adjusted to be Vegan and Gluten Free!

You read that correctly! This is a 115 Calorie Muffin Base! Muffins tend to be quite high in calories so I apologize it can't be lower! These flavors are all under 125 calories, but I imagine you can experiment with the base which is a little under 100 calories!

This was inspired via a request by singing in the rain!

Ingredients + Supplies (See Bottom for Flavoring)

2 cups flour (All Purpose or Gluten Free)

1/3 cup granulated sweetener of choice

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup milk (Cow, Almond, etc)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large egg (or Egg Alternative, measurement varies per alternative)

---

12 Count Muffin Tin

Large Bowl

Liners (Optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line and grease a 12-count muffin tin with muffin liners.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold through the mix-ins of choice.

3. Divide the muffins between the 12 muffin liners. Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
