Shannan’s Journey

There is no reason when you diet that it has to be painful…. Contest diet or not, it just doesn’t have to be a total pain in the a$$.  Get creative yourself or go buy some really good healthy recipes books for ideas and adapt them to your type of diet for what you can and can’t eat. 

This is for those of you who can eat some carbs– 

Sweet Potato Muffins-

16 oz. old fashion oats
8 oz sweet potato (mashed)
8 oz egg whites
1 whole egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinn.
1/2 to 1 tsp orange peal/rind for taste (optional)
3/4 cup splenda
Spray Muffin tin/pan with Pam Spray

** (should make about 6 muffins)

bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.

**Eat a muffin along with eggs in the morning or with a protein shake…  Life is too short to eat crap but it’s also too short to look and feel crappy so, get the best of both worlds… Eat clean happy foods and look fabulous !!!
