Strawberry Lime Boost Smoothie THM-FP

/ glenda1969 / 4 Comments

Smoothie are a refreshing summer treat. This one combines Strawberries and limes with THM Baobab powder  and  THM Whey Protein Powder for an energizing smoothie. I will use this as a meal replacement when I am busy or need to be on the road for a number of hours. My children love smoothies and for convenience the dry ingredients can be  measured into small jars or plastic containers. All you need to do is blend strawberries, lime juice, almond milk, and a container of dry ingredients and you are all set to go.

Cold-Brewed Coffee — THM S or FP

/ glenda1969 / 7 Comments

Hot humid summer days are here and there’s nothing more refreshing than a cup or two of Iced Cold-Brewed Coffee. I keep cold-brewed coffee concentrate in my fridge all summer long for a quick drink. It tastes so much better when made with freshly ground coffee beans given to you from Nicaragua and Nepal.

This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. I receive a small commission but your price does not change.

Cold-brewed Iced Coffee

  • 4 cups freshly ground coffee
  • 1/3 cup vanilla
  • Cold water to fill gallon jar

Combine coffee grounds and vanilla in a gallon glass jar. Fill with cold water. Allow the coffee to brew/steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain through a muslin cloth. Discard grounds. Refrigerate concentrate.  To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.

This can also be brewed in a French Press using 1/2 of the recipe.

THM-S  1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/4 cup nut milk, 1/4 cup cream, 6-8 ice cubes, sweetener of you choice.

THM-FP 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/2 cup nut milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 tablespoon THM collagen

I will freeze ice cube trays of concentrate to use to make frappes.

I will at times add 1 scoop THM Whey Protein powder to us this as a meal replacement when I am out for the day.

You can also blend the ice, coffee, cream/milk, sweetener together for a frappe. I made 10 gallons of concentrate to serve at our daughter’s wedding.

Root-beer Float Finger Jello – THM FP or S

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

If you love the taste of Root-beer Floats you’ll love this finger jello. Best of all it is sugar-free, gluten free, and can be dairy-free as a THM FP. There is also an option for THM S with cream. Rootbeer Float Finger Jello

Root beer part:

White Part:

  • 1 cup cream for THM S OR 1 cup almond milk for THM FP
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoon THM Gentle Sweet

Root beer part: Soften gelatin in 1 cup water for 5 minutes.  Bring remaining water to a boil, remove from heat and whisk in soften gelatin. Stir until it is all dissolved. Add extract and sweetener. Pour into a 9-inch square pan. Chill until set. White part: Soften gelatin in 1/2 cup cream (THM S) OR almond milk (THM FP) for 5 minutes. Heat remaining almond milk (THM FP) OR cream (THM S)until almost a boil. Whisk in gelatin until dissolved. Add vanilla and Gentle Sweet. Pour over root beer mixture and chill. Cut into 20 pieces.

*some extracts are stronger, you may want to add less and taste before adding the entire amount.

Using all cream will be a THM S. Using all almond milk will be a THM FP. I will sometimes use 1/2 cup cream and 1/2 cup almond milk to still have a creamy taste but with a reduced calorie load. You can still eat 3 pieces and be under 5 grams of fat.

Chipotle Sandwich Sauce – THM FP

/ glenda1969 / 1 Comment

My family loves sandwiches on hot, humid, summer days. Most bread options are an E and I wanted a tasty sauce that is low in fat so it can be add to a sandwich without having a crossover. A family favorite is Sourdough Flat-breads filled with various kinds of meat. Pictured below is grilled chicken tenders on Sourdough Flatbread with Chipotle Sandwich Sauce and extra Chipotle hot sauce simply because I like the added heat. This sandwich is an E because of the Sourdough Flatbread and sauce can be used in an S or FP setting.

Chipotle Sandwich Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Duke Mayonaise
  • 2/3 cup Fat-free Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup, sugar free
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoon chopped dill pickles
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon THM Gentle Sweet
  • 1-3 teaspoons Chipotle Hot sauce 

Combine  all ingredients in a bowl. Blend until smooth with a hand blender.  Store in the refrigerator. 1 1/4 cups Chipotle sauce. 1 tablespoon sauce is 3.0 grams of fat. I limit myself to 1 tablespoon for an E meal but more could be used in an S meal.

The hand blender pictured below is my favorite kitchen appliance other than my Bosch  Mixer. I use it multiple times a  day for smoothies, drinks, etc. I feel it is well worth the money to invest in a good quality hand blender because it does an awesome job compared to the cheaper ones.
