Did you like yourself a Wendy’s Frosty pre-op? I did. It was a little different than a milkshake. Thicker, more ice. It could hold a spoon HOSTAGE! Yeah…the Frosty is nice. But we’re not living like that anymore! But did you know you can achieve that same effect with your protein shake? Yep! And I’m going to tell you how. …

So the other day I posted about this great vegetarian (possibly vegan, you all tell me) meal I made. We really have Hillery, our Foodie Fitness Correspondent from the email newsletter, to thank for this one folks. She made a chicken dish that inspired me! It was wonderfully yummy: herby, savory, a touch spicy! But for whatever reason I just …

Before we talk about that…have you entered yet to win FREE protein iced coffee from Chike? If not, go do it now. I’ll wait… You back? Lovely!  So I tell you guys all the time to play with your food. And many of you do so by playing with MY food. But I rarely show you whose food I’m playing …

Chike! Iced Coffee! Review! Let’s do this. The 360 So whenever I am trying something new, I always do the 360 first.

Yesterday I was going over some old online photo albums I have on the web. I came across this recipe I used to make ages ago. It’s totally not mine.

This recipe is one of many delicious dishes featured in Bariatric Foodie’s latest cookbook, Oodles of Zoodles: Your Jumpstart Guide to Zucchini Noodles. Check it out today! So…obviously this Noodleess Lasagna isn’t a completely new recipe. When this post was originally published (about…five-ish years ago)…trust me…it was vanguard! But nowadays this is one of the most popular low-carb recipes out there. …

Yeah, I MAY have just licked my screen and…it MAY have tasted just a wee bit nasty. BUT this food looks delicious! So this is me admittedly putting the cart before the horse a little bit. I think I am the only healthy eating blog that does not feature a no-noodle lasagna recipe. Mexican lasagna? Yes. No-noodle (which subs zucchini …

I am so behind on reader submissions! But I hope to get to some this week and next, so stay tuned! This one comes from Teddi, who sent me a bunch of recipes. Out of fairness, I had to pick one and go with it. I chose her taco soup. I have an affection for tacos, as evidenced by my …

I figure until I get it together recipe-wise (and believe me I have a bunch of freshly tested stuff to share…I just have to make it and photo it!), I’ll continue to give you a glace at my real-eating perspective. So here’s another lunch! I don’t know that I’ve ever put my TVP tuna recipe in one post so here …

A little Faux-tato salad…a little chicken…who needs those starchy carbs??? You wanna know how I come by about 89% of the Foodie-submitted posts on this blog? I am watching you. Yes, I am. And when one of you says, “Hey, Nik, I tried ______ and I really liked it!” I POUNCE! Because I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, …
