Protein Pumpkin Cheesecake

😍Protein Pumpkin Cheesecake😘
This idea has been floating around so I decided to recreate my own version.
Crust:
1 1/2c Ezekiel cereal (blended to flour)-could use oats or granola or nut flour 
 2 servings vanilla or cinnamon protein cinnamon (I used 4sc @wfitnutrition vanilla coconut)
2 spoonfuls each maple syrup & nut butter
2 heaping spoonfuls coconut oil
Cheesecake:
2c greek yogurt (I used 1c of caramel apple Lite & Fit, 1c plain)
1/2 c pumpkin
2 eggs
2 egg whites
2 servings vanilla/cinnamon protein
Coconut sugar
Cinnamon, pumpkin spice
➡️Nuke oil, nut butter, and syrup. Pour over dry crust ingr. and use your hands to mix. Add some to each muffin tin or pan and form around bottom/sides. Blend all the cheesecake ingr. together until smooth (It'll be runny, shouldn't be thick). Pour over crust.
Bake 300 for 20-30mins. I constantly checked it. I knew it was done when the top was set but the middle was still lightly jiggly. I left it out for a few hour the refrigerate overnight, do not eat until it's set! 
This made 12 mini muffins and a full pie!

"Sweet" Egg Casserole

Sounds weird right? I'm no! 
Cinnamon egg whites are on the rise so I decided why not make an egg casserole?!
I added mulberries, acorn squash, and used PB. You do not by any means have to use any of these, they can be subbed for other fruits or other carbs like spaghetti squash or sweet potatoes.
But here's what I choose to do because it's was I had in hand.
Egg Portion:

7egg whites
5 eggs
1/2c almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 baked acorn squash (350 for 1hr sprayed with coconut oil, sprinkled with cinnamon and stevia)
1/2c dried mulberries 

Drizzle:
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon

1. Beat the eggs with almond milk and vanilla. 
2. Mix squash and mulberries together then lay out evenly into a lined 8x8 pan.
3. Pour eggs on top. Giggle around so it all evens out.

4. Make the drizzle and mix really well.
5. Simply drizzle all over the top of the eggs.
6. Bake 350 for 1 hours.
7. Take out and allow to cool and set. 

Protein Donuts

Protein🍩Donuts:
-1 scoop @wfitnutrition vanilla coconut protein
-1/4c coconut flour
-1 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp vanilla extract

-add ins: fruit, choc chips, nuts, dried fruit

2. Pour into sprayed donut pan. Mine made

4. Bake 350 for 23mins.

5. Allow to cool and top with whatever you desire! I smeared PB2 on the choc one🙌

As for Sweet Spreads...well if you can read the flavors your jaw should have already dropped.
OMG all these flavors are spot on and amazing but Chocolate Brownie was heaven!!! Oh and maple pancakes literally tastes like French toast in a jar. Cinnamon roll is scrumptious too!
Cute jars too! They are microwaveable safe so nuke tem a bit and drizzle on top of whatever you're having!

Chocolate Protein Waffles

I use WFitNutrition protein so you can use any flavor of choclate you want.
2 scoops Wfit choc mocha protein
2 tbsp coconut flour
2 egg whites
1 mashed banana
Dash baking powder
Stevia 
Almond milk
-Mash banana first. Add baking powder and mix (easily mixed this way).
-add egg whites.
-add one scoop of protein at a time and add almond milk to mix. Then add the other.
-add coconut flour. One tbsp at a time. Add almond milk as needed. It'll thicken because coconut flour absorbs so you'll need more milk after it sets.
-add stevia if you want.
-stir in add ins if you want. I added cacao nibs to mine.
-pour into sprayed waffle maker. Mine made two.
I use coconut oil spray.
Added PB and strawberries to the first one.
Second one stuck so I had to scrap it off but it was a little burnt and crunchy so it was a nice topping on the other. Of course I added more strawberries and drizzle of PB.

Dark Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

So simple you don't need to buy, just make yourself!
-melt dark chocolate on double boiler or in microwave in 15sec intervals.
-drop small handful of beans into chocolate.
-stir so to get them completely covered.
-one by one pull out and put on parchment paper.
-keep adding beans until you're out of chocolate.
You can make as little or much as you want.
