Caramel Butterscotch Blondies

Caramel, butterscotch, and white chocolate...do I need to say anything else?! Didn't think so!
Let's get baking! 

You will need...
MTS Caramel Sutra whey, garbanzo/chick peas, canned pumpkin, egg substitute, vanilla, baking powder, sweetener, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips.
*If you don't have MTS caramel whey, you could sub any vanilla protein powder*
*Any white bean will work*

Add your beans, egg, and vanilla to a blender and puree.
If you need to, you can add a little water, milk, or more egg to get everything to blend smoothly. 

Stir in everything but the chips.  Pour batter into a sprayed baking dish.  I used a 5x7 dish which gives the bars a perfect thickness.  If you use a bigger pan you will just have to adjust the baking time.  Feel free to double the recipe to make more!
Add as much white chocolate and butterscotch chips as you like!! You could even mix some in the batter.  Into the oven at 350 for 2-25 minutes.

Shh...I snuck a handful or two to snack on while the bars were baking...
Feel free to get creative! You can add dark chocolate, milk chocolate, nuts...

I love how the chips get a little melty on top!
Now, would you believe me if I told you that this whole dish is only 345 calories?! 

Well you should because I never rarely tell a lie!
Yup, not only are these bars delicious and easy to make, they are also good for you!

I will easily eat all 6 bars for breakfast! The entire batch will give you 8F 38C 33P.
That means each bar is only about 58 calories! If you can stop after just one, you have some crazy good will powder!

 The MTS Caramel Sutra really is perfect for this recipe!
You can order some here.

Don't worry if you don't have any Caramel Sutra whey though...
I have made these bars with vanilla, chocolate, pumpkin, and cinnamon protein powder!! All of them have been amazing! So go grab whatever protein you have, and get busy! 

 You can thank me later :)

Key Lime Pie Protein Jello

I love Jello! In fact, if you don't love jello, I am not sure I want to be your friend...Kidding...Kinda...Jello is delicious!! There are so many flavors, it is fat free, can be sugar free, super low calorie, and it jiggles!! What else could you want in a snack?! I know! How about something with a little substance? Something that actually fills you up a bit and satisfies you? Something that has almost 30 grams of protein and still under 200 calories?! I got just the thing.  
Protein Jello!

I know it sounds a little weird but hear me out...
This batch was Key Lime Pie Flavored.
You need 1 box of lime jello mix (I use sugar free), any kind of milk, and protein powder.  I used a vanilla graham cracker protein powder which is amazing!! You can order it here. Vanilla protein would work as well.  The almond milk gives it a great vanilla flavor too.  These flavors combined taste like Key Lime Pie!

You are kinda sorta going to follow the instructions on the jello box.  With a few tiny changes.  Start by boiling 1 cup of water.  Add the jello mix and stir until dissolved.  If using sugar free you may want a little sweetener.  I added one Splenda packet.  
When it is all dissolved, stick this in the freezer for a minute or two.  We are going to be adding milk to it and don't want it to curdle.

While that's chilling, take 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk.  The package calls for 2 cups of liquid, but I find it sets up better with a bit less.  You can add a whole cup of milk, but it won't set up as good and will be more of a pudding texture.  Add 1 scoop of your protein powder to the milk and whisk it up good.  
It would be great to use one of those shaker bottles (which you would think I would have...) The whisk works good enough.  Get all those chunks out!

Take your mixture out of the freezer and add your cold liquid to it.
It will look like cloudy jello.  As you can see I had a few little protein powder clumps floating around in there.  No biggie.  I will have to get a protein shaker bottle next time I am at GNC. Don't worry, it will still be awesome!!

Pour the mixture into a bowl or pan of any shape! As long as it hold 1 1/2 cup of liquid, you're good to go.  Stick it in the fridge for about 2 hours and get ready to dig in!

This is just one tiny little piece of the whole pan.  Don't you worry though, I ate more than this one measly portion.  Remember, the whole pan is only about 180 calories! That is a pretty big dessert for under 200 calories.  And I bet most desserts don't have 27 grams of protein in them!!
You could top it off with a little cool whip, but it honestly doesn't even need it! The graham cracker protein, vanilla milk, and lime flavoring are so yummy together!! 
The healthiest key lime pie ever :)

There are so many flavor possibilities too! 
Vanilla protein + cherry jello
Chocolate protein + strawberry jello
Banana protein + orange jello
Another great idea is to cut up some fruit and throw it in there.  Bananas, strawberries, cherries...

It is like a smoother, creamier, jello.  Don't worry, it still jiggles!! I am not sorry to say that the whole batch is already gone...
