Single Serve Low Fat PB Spread

I love peanut butter, but I don’t always love the fat content. I also like the flexibility of making this spread on demand so that it does not get eaten through by my kids before it is used for its intended purpose.

3 ingredients. 5 minutes. You’re wecome!

Ingredients:

Method:

Measure 3 flat Tablespoons of Defatted Peanut Powder. Break up the big lumps of powder with the back of your spoon, add sweetener and mineral salt, and mix a bit. Add 3 Tablespoons of water and mix until smooth.

*Depending on the brand of Peanut Powder you may need to add a touch more more, by the teaspoon full, until it is the consistency you desire.

*This is a fuel pull or E meal protein source on the trim healthy mama plan

Indian Cabbage Curry

This recipe was literally born of my desire to make use of a large amount of Garam Masala spice we had in the cupboard, not to mention I love Indian inspired flavors!

I had just a few ingredients to make use of and I gave it shot, but my husband only tolerates cabbage because they are not mushrooms, which he dislikes more, and if I could win him over I knew it would be blog-worthy!

He LOVED it!

And, with 9 humans to cook for every single meal, I love anything that will help me do that quickly, and with one pan. This recipe ticks all the boxes in the Treehouse.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium to large head of cabbage
  • 2 pounds ground meat *See note below
  • 1 can coconut milk *See note below
  • 2 Tablespoons Garam Masala
  • 1 Tablespoon Mineral Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder, we like to buy our spice from here.
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder

Method

  • Cook Ground Meat and drain fat, and add spices. Cook a few minutes.
  • Cut cabbage to your preference, I diced mine because of toddlers and early eaters
  • Add cut cabbage to the pan, and let cook down a few minutes.
  • Add your can of coconut milk, you can use another creamy liquid but coconut is a traditional curry addition.

**This recipe can be configured to fit into all fuel types if you are following the Trim Healthy mama plan.

*S- Full fat ground meat of your choice and full fat coconut milk (half and half or heavy cream if you don’t like coconut). Serve with buttered non-starchy veggies like Southern Style Green Beans.

*E-96% or better ground meat (or rinse your meat under VERY hot water, drain and repeat until you get the most fat off possible), plus lite coconut milk or other Dairy free nut/seed milk. Serve with Brown Rice or Quinoa.

*Fuel Pull- Extra Lean ground meat ,or rinsed meat like for an E meal, and lite coconut milk or nut milk. Serve with non-starchy Veggies or over greens.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

We are fortunate in the Treehouse, both of our children with Celiac Disease tolerate certified gluten free oats without a problem. While they are still not as cheap as the regular type, they provide us with a frugal breakfast for our large family.

I actually consider this grain a ninja in the gluten free pantry. If you can tolerate it, don’t leave the store without it!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Pure Monk Fruit Extract Powder (or your preferred sweetener to taste), optional
  • 1/4 Cup Applesauce

Method:

Mix all ingredients together, except applesauce, and cook on High in a small pot, stirring frequently until thickened. Pour into your bowl an top with 1/4 Cup unsweetened applesauce. Mix together, or grab a small dab of applesauce with each bite.

*I have made this without sweetener and it is still sweet enough due to the applesauce.

This is a single serve recipe and is an E meal on the Trim Healthy Mama Plan.

Goodie Bowl

I got the bones for this recipe from a blog, “Counting All Joy”, that used to be around when I began following the Trim Healthy Plan to feed my family but seems to have been shut down now, so I adapted it from memory.

We were gluten free and dairy free at that time, so anything I found that could possibly fit the restrictions we had, and felt like dessert, we were going to try it!

As the phonetic sound of the name implies…this is a “Good E” meal or snack on this plan…I know, funny name right, I thought so too?

It seems sad to call it a recipe when it’s just a pour or two here and then throw in a spoon, but I must share this!

This is a single serve, no special ingredients meal. It is very important that you use FROZEN fruit or it will ruin the effect of this simple meal, in my opinion.

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce

1/2 Cup Frozen Blueberries

1 Teaspoon Nuts or Seeds

Mix it all together and let the berries get a little melty, and you have something that feels like dessert, and is extremely fast to prepare for one person, or 8 in my house….

I do add a Collagen or Gelatin Tea to this if it is intended as my meal because it is very light on protein. My kids have it with full fat peanut butter drizzled on top as a crossover.
