5/14/21 ♡ mini blueberry yogurt cakes [55]

cake total [268] / 6 servings [45]

120g (1/2 cup) nonfat greek yogurt [60]

37g (1/4 cup and 1 tbsp) flour [137]

1fl oz (2 tbsp) unsweetened vanilla almond milk [4]

14g (1 tbsp) reduced fat cream cheese [30]

30g (2 tbsp) egg white [17]

40g (1/4 cup) frozen blueberries [20]

(optional / to taste) hazelnut skinny syrup or liquid sweetener [0]

topping total [60] / 6 servings [10]

14g (1 tbsp) reduced fat cream cheese [60]

(to taste) swerve confectioners sugar [0]

simple directions:

1. mix wet ingredients adding cream cheese last. add flour, enough sweetener to your liking, then fold in blueberries.

2. pour into cupcake liners or mini cake molds, and bake at 350° for about 25 - 30 minutes. let cool.

3. to make topping: use hand mixer or whisk vigorously to "whip" up cream cheese and powdered sugar so it's no longer firm.

4. top cakes evenly and sprinkle with additional sugar if you'd like!

i found this recipe on instagram from mylightkitchen, and i just tweaked it a bit to fit my tastes. the cakes are dense kind of like mooncake, which i really like about them, but i thought it was a little light on flavor so i made the cream cheese topping. i also used bundt cupcake molds and it looked really good! if you make these i hope you enjoy them (:

3/23/21 ♡ vegan low cal "ramen" [55]

1 package angel hair shirataki noodles [20]

12g (1 tbsp) or 1 small slice onion, chopped [5]

5g (1 tsp) minced garlic [5]

16g (1 tbsp) soy sauce [10]

6g (2 tsp) vegan chicken bouillon powder [15]

pam cooking spray

1/4 cup water

[optional] garlic powder, paprika, (celery) salt and pepper to taste

this is a really easy and yummy alternative to packaged ramen, and it's great because adding more vegetables like carrots, green onion, mushrooms, etc won't make this a high calorie meal while still filling you up!

simple directions:

1. heat small pot of water, drain noodles, then add to boiled water for about 5 min. drain again and set aside.

2. spray large pan with cooking oil than sauté onion and garlic (if adding anymore vegetables, do that here). cook until soft on med heat.

3. spray pan once more and add noodles. mix everything together on med-high heat, then add soy sauce, 1/4 cup water and 1 tsp bouillon. if adding additional seasoning, do so now.

4. when cooked and adding to bowl, sprinkle remaining 1 tsp of bouillon on top, and you're done!

3/8/21 ♡ vegetarian chick'n alfredo [200]

1 tsp vegetable oil [20]

1/4 inch slice of onion [15]

1/2 gardein chick'n scallopini piece [55]

1/4 cup basil alfredo sauce [100]

1/2 package fettuccine tofu shirataki noodles [10]

(optional) garlic pepper, salt and black pepper to taste

next time i'm going to try pam sauté spray since it's zero calories, and maybe a tbsp less of the alfredo since there was more sauce than i expected. if i made these changes it would bring the calorie count down to 155! it was super good and filling so im excited to put it in with my "safe" meals. i may go back and add the directions later if they're wanted ♡
