Check it out! I got the original recipe for these Apple and Carrot Muffins off allrecipes.com which is pretty much the world-wide hub or recipes. Check is out! These muffins will allow you hours of pwning noobs without the sugar rush come down. Check it out! I just watched Aliens and thats why I’m using Hudson’s favourite phrase.

These muffins are also great for cleaning out a few items from the fridge.

Makes 12 muffins.

Better Than Bircher Muesli

October 29, 2009 By Kyle Leave a Comment

Here’s a great recipe for breakfast, especially if you are getting sick of eating just plain oats. I stumbled across this after I was told by a friend that the best thing to soak your oats in, is yogurt. Immediately my mind switched to bircher muesli, so I jumped online and looked up the exact recipe and quickly found that I did not have any of the ingredients around the house. So I decided to improvise and make something new. Here is my very simple recipe:

Ingredients

1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of yogurt (any berry flavour or plain)
Several almonds
1/2 cup mixed berries

Directions:

Grab a cereal bowl out of the cupboard and dump all the ingredients in. Stir around with a spoon until all oats are covered in yogurt. Then pop the bowl in the fridge overnight.

In the morning eat as is or add some milk for a little more moisture or protein powder for a morning protein boost. Play around with the quantities to find a mixture you love. The other bonus with this (other than it tasting awesome) is that there is no preparation required in the morning at all. Simply grab out of the fridge and eat.

Servings: 1

Feel free to make a large serving for 3 or 4 days worth, make sure you keep it in a covered container if you are going down this path.

Before going into the fridge

Served with walnuts and banana

High Protein Bar Recipe

September 24, 2009 By Kyle 3 Comments

Over the past few months I’ve been experimenting to find the perfect protein bar recipe. When I first started I was experimenting with a low carb diet and I used nut meal, nuts and protein powder. However the recipe’s came out very dry and I was really looking for something that would last the whole week.

So when I came back onto a higher carbohydrate diet I started adding oats and experimenting around with different amounts of fruit and nuts. I think I’ve got it pretty close to perfect now. Here’s the recipe of my favourite:

Fruit and Nut Protein Bar

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup sultanas
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup dried ginger, chopped
2 cups oats, raw
4 scoops (120g) vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup skim milk

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir up. Add just enough water so that the mixture becomes wet all the way through (you can experiment with water amount from batch to batch). Spread (you should have to spread it like a wet dough) the mixture in a olive oil sprayed small baking tray (8″x8″).

Cook in a preheated oven for 20-30 minutes on 180º C (350ºF). The top should become golden and look glazed. Cut into 8 pieces. Eat immediately or let it cool for a good hour or so and store in a tupperware container in the fridge. The pictured bar has almonds and chopped dried ginger on top.

Eat it as a snack for morning tea or as post workout nutrition. You will never be satisfied by a measly store bought muesli bar again! Keep your eyes out for more high protein snacks in the future.
