I was messing around last night trying to find a quick and easy protein muffin recipe to make. I came up with what you see below. Doesn’t get much easier than this!

Protein Muffin

Simple and Easy Protein Muffin

1 serving of protein powder
1 egg
1 tsp cinnamon
misc fruits or nuts (your choice)
splash of almond milk, regular milk, or water

Mix all ingredients together. You want to add just enough liquid to get a brownie batter-like consistency. Pour into small microwavable muffin dishes or bowls. The smaller the better. Cook for 30-60 seconds or until done.

Primal Guacamole

I had a few avocado’s getting ripe in the fridge so tonight I decided to make some dip out of them. I must say that I am quite proud of what I came up with. So much so that I cannot stop eating it!

Recipe: Primal Gaucamole

Ingredients

3 ripe avocado’s
half an onion
half a red pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 clove of garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cilantro

Instructions

Saute the onion and red pepper in some coconut oil until both are soft. While that is cooking, begin on the guacamole by cutting them in half length wise, removing the seeds and scooping out the good stuff into a bowl. Begin to mash. Once mashing is complete, add in the onion, red pepper and the rest of the ingredients.
Blend well and serve!

Cinnamon Almonds

I bought a bag of almonds from the grocery store this afternoon. They were raw and quite good but about half way through the bag I thought it would fun to try and experiment with them. So when I got home I grabbed a handful of ingredients and ended up making some cinnamon almonds.

Recipe: Cinnamon Almonds

Ingredients

1 cup raw almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 packets of sweet and low
1 teaspoon of sea salt

Instructions

Mixed it all in a bowl, cooked for 10 minutes at 350 degrees and called it good. They came out with a nice blend of sweet and salty. If I make them again, I may cut the the salt down to 1/2 teaspoon though.

Variations

Honey could be used in place of the agave nector

Cooking time (duration): 10

Number of servings (yield): 4

Meal type: snack

My rating:3 stars: ★★★☆☆

I am not sure if these would qualify for primal or paleo but you could probably modify it easy enough to make it comply.
