Cookies And Cream Keto Frappe With Protein – THM S

July 30, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Skip the expensive coffee house and make a delicious cookies and cream Keto frappe with protein at home!

Cookies and Cream reminds me of childhood. I remember grabbing a carton of cookies and cream ice cream from the freeze and piling it high in a bowl. Paying special attention to pick out the biggest cookie pieces that I could find.

Oh the joys of being young and thin. Even though I try not to eat like that anymore, I would by lying if I said I didn’t still like the combo of chocolate Oreo cookies and creamy milk.

And Trim Healthy Mama has solved all my needs by creating a Cookies and Cream Whey Protein Powder that gives you that childhood taste you miss plus a healthy dose of protein!

All my low carb friends stay with me, this Cookies and Cream Keto Frappe is totally Keto (along with being a THM S recipe). I’ll explain more below.

What is A Coffee Frappe?

A frappe is a Greek inspired iced coffee typically made with instant coffee, sugar and milk. That is the traditional way to make a frappe coffee. It is then blended or shaken to mix resulting with a coffee layer and a foamy/frothy top layer.

But since we are low carb/Keto or Trim Healthy Mamas, we make some easy modifications to make an on plan coffee frappe that we can enjoy with no guilt & no sugar!

Cookies And Cream Keto Frappe With Protein – THM S

This cookies and cream Keto frappe is the perfect afternoon pick me up to get you through a long work day.

The sweet cookies and cream flavor combined with a delicious blonde roast coffee is blended to perfection resulting in a frappe that you could almost mistake for an indulgent milkshake!

And you only need 4 ingredients to make this iced coffee treat.

What You Need for A Chocolate Cookie Frappe:

Trim Healthy Mama (THM) Cookies and Cream Pristine Whey Protein Powder

Sweet Leaf Chocolate Sweet Drops

Cold Brew Coffee – this is my Fave

Unsweetened Almond Milk

Optional: A splash of heavy cream & Bake Believe/Lily’s Chocolate Chips / Reddi Whip

Making the Low Carb Frappe

To make this protein frappe, you need a decent blender to start. I use a Nutribullet for these drinks.

In your blender add all ingredients and blend until smooth.

You can top with a little Reddi Whip & Bake believe or Lily’s Chocolate Chips to make the Keto frappuccino even more appetizing. And if you blend up a tablespoon or two of the sugar free chocolate chips into the blended coffee it will remind you of the Starbucks java chip fappucino. Yum!

All those little chocolate chip shavings mixed in with a cookies n cream protein powder and cold brew coffee is the perfect low carb treat with caffeine.

Want a Trim Healthy Mama FP Coffee?

What is a fuel pull (FP)? A fuel pull on THM is just a food or recipe that is low in carbs and also in fat. It can be used in an S meal, an E meal or on it’s own as a FP.

So if you want a cookies and cream THM FP coffee, you can do it by modifying this recipe slightly.

Omit the chocolate chips and the Heavy Cream. You can increase the almond milk slightly if needed. If you use just the THM Cookies N Cream Protein powder, Almond Milk and Sweet Leaf drops, you will have a light Fuel pull coffee that you can enjoy with any meal!

Need a no blender iced coffee? Try this easy THM FP Caramel Iced Coffee (Great for low carb/Keto diets too because it is sugar free!).

Low Carb Tortilla Pizza – THM S

July 24, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Learn how to make a low carb tortilla pizza in just minutes by using a store bought “crust” that is so much cheaper than other Keto pizza crusts.

Tortilla pizza has been in my life since my college days. They are cheap, easy and taste so good. All the things that a broke college student appreciates.

So since I’ve been eating this meal for so many years, I just figured everyone knew about these little gems. Imagine my surprise the other day when I saw in a Facebook group that there are tons of people that didn’t know how to make tortilla pizzas! If that is you, your pizza life is about to change for the better!

Full disclosure, I don’t eat my pizza the same way that I did in college anymore. I’ve traded in my carb laden version and now enjoy a low carb tortilla pizza with some veggies and still some pepperoni too (A THM S Meal)!

Low Carb Tortilla Pizza – THM S

I’ve eaten pizza bowls and pizza toppings on pizza for easy Keto/THM S meals. But sometimes you just want to be able to pick up a piece of pizza with your hands but still stick to your low carb lifestyle!

And you don’t want to have to have 10 special ingredients to make some pizza crust that takes 30 minutes to make and may or may not be good. I can’t stand wasting time and money.

That is where the low carb tortilla pizza comes in. A perfectly crispy and thin crust lathered in sauce covered in melted cheesy goodness. It will cure all your pizza cravings!

What You Need to Make A Quick Tortilla Individual Pizza

Low Carb Mission Tortillas This is your Low Carb THM Pizza Crust
Pizza Sauce (Sugar Free)
Shredded Cheese
Toppings

The fun thing about these pizzas is that everyone in the family can make their own. Which is great in our family because my husband likes meat and cheese. Give me all the onions and olives. And then my kids like cheese.

It is nice for us to all be able to put the things that we like onto our personal pizzas. Plus my kids think it is so fun to make their own.

What Toppings Can You Use?

You can top your low carb tortilla pizza crust with whatever toppings that you normally like on your pizza!

Meat Ideas:

Pepperoni
Cubed Ham
Browned Hamburger Meat
Italian Sausage
Salami
Rotisserie Chicken
Bacon

Veggie Ideas:

Onions
Olives
Bell Pepper
Mushrooms
Roma Tomatoes
Fresh Spinach
Banana Peppers
Jalapenos

Just remember that if you are doing keto that the veggies have some carbs so you will want to take that into account when making your pizza.

Trim Healthy Mama’s you can have pretty much any of these just don’t overdo it on the tomatoes or the onions.

This is also a great meal to make when you have some leftovers in the fridge. The possibilities are endless. Grilled chicken leftovers with a little red onion, sugar free bbq sauce and mozzarella sounds amazing!

Leftover taco meat, olives and cheese would be a great Southwestern style pizza. Or just stick to the classic cheese and pepperoni for a more traditional approach.

Making A Low Carb Tortilla Pizza

So just when you thought life couldn’t get any better now that you have a delicious thin crust pizza, I’m going to tell you how easy these little pizzas are to make.

They are so easy! We eat them a lot for lunch or a last minute dinner for a busy weeknight.

In just around 10 minutes, you can have a yummy, cheesy pizza ready to eat. Hey, that’s way quicker than ordering delivery!

Toast the Tortilla

The first thing you want to do is toast your tortillas in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.

This will help crisp up the crust to that it will be portable and not soggy.

Toasting the tortilla is pretty much the most labor intensive part of the whole pizza making process. Just throw it right on the rack. No need to waste a baking sheet.

You need to watch it closely to make sure they don’t burn. And they burn pretty quick (don’t ask me how I know!)

I typically toast it for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and firm. It should resemble more of a flat tostada shell after toasting vs. a soft taco shell.

Sauce & Toppings

Once the low carb tortilla is toasted, apply the sugar free pizza sauce. A couple of tablespoons will be plenty. Don’t go overboard with the sauce to avoid soggy crust.

Add cheese, meats and veggies. Return to the oven and cook for about 5 additional minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Remove from the oven and cut into slices.

Enjoy your low carb tortilla pizza and an ice cold Zevia cola for a treat that feels sinful but is totally on plan!

Keto Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

July 10, 2018 by Stacy Craft 14 Comments

A family pleasing and delicious Keto parmesan crusted pork chops recipe with a cheesy “breading” to keep it low carb.

These crispy crunchy pork chops get their bite from a secret ingredient that is probably in your low carb pantry.

Pork Rinds!

I finally took the pork rinds as breading plunge and I am so glad I did. That’s right, pork rinds make up the base of the coating for these juicy pork chops.

I can’t really pinpoint exactly why I was so apprehensive at the thought of using pork rinds.

My husband worships pork rinds (pretty sure he would eat them as a side with a bowl of cereal kind of love). I don’t hate them as much as he loves them, but I would not say I really like them on their own.

So if you are in the same boat as me, don’t let the pork rinds scare you! I promise it does not taste like you bathed your pork chop in rinds. In fact, you can’t even tell they are pork rinds.

Keto Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

So now that you know the secret ingredient for these yummy keto parmesan crusted pork chops, we can get started.

The recipe comes together quickly so you can make it after a day of work and still get dinner on the table to your family in a reasonable hour. And speaking of family, my picky little four year old ate this like a champ.

She prefers her pork chop dipped in a little ketchup, fine by me as long as she is eating something!

Ingredients:

I adapted this pork chop meal to be keto friendly from our favorite pork chop recipe that I found on Just a Pinch. Since the recipe uses really simple ingredients, I usually have everything that is needed on hand.

One of my biggest money saving tips is to have a good arsenal of “go to” meals that you typically have on hand and that are quick and easy to prepare like family friendly Keto Meatballs or 15 Minute Keto Cheese Enchiladas.

It will help you to resist ordering a pizza on a busy night if you know that you can make something quick and healthy for your family like these keto parmesan crusted pork chops. (and a side note, when did ordering pizza get so outrageous??)

Here is all that you need to make these chops:

4 Boneless Pork chops

Tbsp Olive Oil

Parmesan Cheese

Pork Rinds

Black Pepper

Garlic Powder

Preparation:

To prep these keto parmesan crusted pork chops, you first want to prep your secret ingredient. I used my high powered blender to crush the pork rinds into a fine powder.

You can also just crush the pork rinds up in a bag using a mallet or spoon.

The pork rinds clump together just a little once they are blended but don’t worry. Once you mix it with the parmesan cheese, it should mix nicely.

Pro Tip: If getting out your blender makes you want to run, skip that step and use these convenient Pork Rind Panko Crumbs that are ready to use!

I had to do a couple of rounds in the blender to get the cup of pork rinds. If you are a little under, it should be fine. It is a pretty forgiving “breadcrumb” mixture.

Next, mix the parmesan cheese (use the kind in the green can it works best), ground pork rinds, pepper and garlic powder to a medium bowl.

Pour a bit of olive oil onto a plate. I just eyeball it but you need a tablespoon or two.

Dip each pork chop into the olive oil and then coat each side with the crumb mixture. I use my hands and press as much of the cheesy, pork rind crumb into the pork chops as I can get to stay attached.

Oven Instructions:

Gently place each breaded chop onto a lined and sprayed baking sheet.

*Note: A sweet reader reminded me that if you bake this on a broiler pan, you will avoid a soggy bottom and both sides will crisp up.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. If you are cooking a thinner chop, cook for less time. The coating will brown and crisp up when ready.

Air Fryer Instructions:

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.

Place chops into the basket and cook until browned and crispy.

For 1 inch thick chops, they should be done in 30 minutes. If your chops are thin, you may want to check them after 20 or 25 minutes. Mine cooked a lot quicker in the air fryer than in the oven!

And they are so crispy and delicious after being in the air fryer.

Trim Healthy Mama Weekly Meal Plan 1

December 7, 2018 by Stacy Craft 5 Comments

A 1 week photo diary of everything I ate for one week. Dig into this Trim Healthy Mama Weekly Meal Plan 1 and stay tuned for subsequent weeks!

(Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.)

Trim Healthy Mama Meal Prep

I was planning to meal prep a few things to make my week easier. Here are the things that I was hoping to get done during my 1 hour meal prep.

Make baked oatmeal (will eat this throughout the week for breakfast or even a snack)
Make sausage crumbles for the microwave egg scrambles
Boil Eggs
Cook & Shred Chicken thighs
Chop Turkey ham for ham and beans.
Wash fresh fruit and veggies and prep in ready to go containers

Since I was also in charge of keeping my 11 month out of trouble and entertaining 747 questions from my 4 year old, getting snacks and a bottle, I didn’t quite get everything accomplished that I was hoping for.

I missed making the sausage crumbles, boiling eggs and chopping the turkey ham. Geez, I was only at 50%. I did also get our dinner made in that 1 hour prep, so it wasn’t a complete miss.

What I Ate for A Week on Trim Healthy Mama

Here is everything that I ate for a week. There are lots of pictures and I included recipes where I could. Seeing pictures and other trim healthy mama meal plans helps me to stay on plan and get new ideas so I hope this helps you too!

I aim to keep Trim Healthy Mama ultra simple. Complicated recipes and special ingredients do not often make it to my table. The only thing remotely “special” that I frequently use are the Mission low carb tortillas and Dreamfields pasta. Those are usually in my pantry but they are easy to find at my Walmart and reasonably priced.

Day 1:

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean Simple Scramble Copycat (would typically add some berries with this but I am a mom on the go and the clock said it was time for school so I missed that) (S)

I think this is such a pretty little cup of eggs. I hardly believe it came out of the microwave in less than 2 minutes!

Lunch: Turkey and cream cheese pinwheels, pork rinds, mini bell peppers, 4 oz blackberries (S)

I don’t have a recipe for the pinwheels but they are super simple. Spread a little softened cream on the Mission Low Carb tortilla, spread on some spicy mustard on top of the cream cheese. Add some deli meat and shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla up and place in the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes to help set it up. 30 minutes is probably best but I can’t ever wait that long! Slice them up with a sharp knife. I love these for a quick lunch.

Snack: string cheese and 2 oz of nuts (S)

Dinner: Hummus crusted baked chicken with roasted carrots, bell peppers and green beans (E or XO) I am calling it an E because I only used about a tablespoon of hummus. Hummus is a crossover typically because of the oil and beans mix the fuels. However, since my meal was very low fat otherwise, I call it an E (carrots and my dessert give me the carbs to make it an E). Just be aware if you are using a lot of hummus or have other fats in your meal that you may go into XO territory which is still on plan but not as good for weight loss.

Dessert: Baked oatmeal with non-fat greek yogurt (E)

Evening Snack: Baked Tortilla chips and Salsa (E) I don’t usually eat after dinner but I was really hungry. Possibly because this was my first full day back on THM and I had gotten used to eating a sugar filled dessert after dinner? Habits are hard to break.

Day 2:

Breakfast: Baked Oatmeal (E), topped with nonfat greek yogurt

Lunch: Cold Cut Roll Up Salad (S), Ranch Dressing

Dinner: Easy 15 Minute Turkey Ham & Beans (E) – I know everyone gets scared when you start talking about E meals. My whole family gobbles this meal up with no complaints and it is literally quicker than strapping my kids in car seats and driving to a fast food drive thru.

Seriously, add this to your trim healthy mama weekly meal plan now!

Snack: Nuts,String Cheese (S)

Day 3:

Breakfast: Sprouted Toast, Small amount of greek yogurt cream cheese, All Fruit Polaner’s Jelly and a side of plain greek yogurt with a tiny bit of polaner’s mixed in (about 1/2 teaspoon). (E)

Please excuse the lighting on this photo. I was up early, working on the computer and eating breakfast. That is what us working mamas do! Am I right?

Lunch: Salsa Verde Chicken Mini Pepper Nachos (S)

My most popular recipe on this site is the 30 minute Cheesy Salsa Verde Chicken with Cauli Rice. I took the filling from this recipe and stuffed it in a pepper for lunch. Delish. Here is the recipe for the Salsa Verde Chicken Pepper Nachos.

Dinner: Grilled Pork Chop, Mac and Cheese Zoodles and Spinach salad (S)

Ya’ll – we eat this cheesy zucchini at least twice a week. And that is saying something because I am not huge on repeating recipes.

It is a macaroni and cheese sub for me. It is so cheesy and rich, it goes great with grilled chicken, pork or steak.

Day 4:

Breakfast: Breakfast Taco and strawberries (S)

After living in Texas for 5 years, I learned breakfast tacos are life! I made this one on a Mission Low carb tortilla. It’s so good and it is something you can roll up and eat in the car on the way to work.

Lunch: Loaded Tuna Salad on Sprouted Bread (E) with a small apple and raw veggies. You won’t miss the mayo in this quick and easy tuna salad recipe packed with protein!

Dinner: Spaghetti with ground beef meat sauce on Dreamfields pasta, Salad with ranch (S)

Dreamfields pasta is a personal choice item but my body does fine with it so I use it. I can usually find it at Walmart for less than $2. My kids adore spaghetti and the texture of this pasta is really similar to regular pasta. In fact, I can’t tell a difference at all. Spaghetti on a “diet” – Yes please!

Day 5:

Breakfast: Leftover baked Oatmeal with Greek Yogurt (E)

Lunch: Chicken & Cheese quesadilla on a Mission Low Carb tortilla with pork rinds and raw veggies (not pictured) (S)

Dinner: Cheesy zucchini with Ham (S)

Told you that we love this zucchini at my house. Here I just made the cheesy zucchini and added some ham that was lightly browned in a skillet. It is grown up Mac n cheese with hotdogs (don’t judge!). So good and it takes less than 30 minutes to get this on the table.

Day 6:

Breakfast: Easy 2 Minute Microwave Eggs I usually eat the same thing for breakfast a couple of times during the week. It doesn’t bother me and makes planning easier.

Lunch: Baby Spinach, Cheese Cubes, Steak and Ranch (S)

My husband brought home some leftover steak. A delicious yet simple steak salad was calling my name.

Dinner: Sausage, fried radishes and green beans (S)

No Trim Healthy Mama weekly meal plan would be complete without some weird ingredient would it? I don’t know about you but radishes were not on my list of things that I would eat before THM. I finally got brave enough to try them and you know what? They aren’t half bad.

I don’t usually make different meals for my family but my kids aren’t eating radishes. I can promise it. So I made them sausage and potatoes and I subbed radishes for mine. Now let me tell you the truth. You are not going to bite into it and think yum a potato. But if you go into it with an open mind to try a new veggie, I think you might just like it. I did.

Day 7:

Breakfast: Ham slices, scrambled eggs and berries (S)

Lunch: Sprouted Sandwich, carrots, apples and a small amount of ranch (E)

Sprouted Bread Sandwich Apple and Carrots

Dinner: Grilled pork chop, Wedge salad and Fried cabbage (S)

I hope you enjoyed this Trim Healthy Mama Weekly Meal Plan. I will continue to periodically post what I eat over the course of a week to try and give you ideas! THM really doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. If you have any questions, leave me a comment.

10 Keto Recipes Using Cauliflower Rice

January 27, 2019 by Stacy Craft 1 Comment

Find 10 keto recipes using cauliflower rice that will spice up your dinner table but keep your pants fitting well!

A bag or two of riced cauliflower is always living in the bottom of my freezer. It is kind of a Keto/low carb rite of passage. It is the Kale of 2015.

The trend is to eat cauli rice so of course, I buy it and put it in my freezer. But what do you actually do with it? Because I can promise you I am not just popping it in the microwave and putting it on a plate. No Ma’am, too plain and blah for me. These 10 keto recipes using cauliflower rice will show you how to easily doctor that lonely bag of frozen cauliflower into something amazing!

(Affiliate links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.)

Why Eat Cauliflower Rice?

Want to know a secret? When I first started eating low carb, I didn’t like cauliflower rice. Not just didn’t like it, I despised it. The smell of cooked cauliflower does not please me but I wanted to eat it. Remember that 2018/2019 cauliflower bandwagon that I wanted to hop on?

But why should we eat cauliflower? There are lots of reasons and here are a few of my favorites.

High Nutritional Value

Cauliflower is rich in vitamins and high in fiber. It is also very low in calories so it allows you to bulk up your meal without adding lots of excess calories. The cool thing about keto is that you don’t need to count calories but you also don’t want to go crazy with your calories either.

Budget Friendly

Cauliflower is also relatively inexpensive, even when buying it as a convenience item (like riced in the frozen food section). Since it is economical, you can use it to add volume to your meal and have plenty of money in your grocery budget left for more expensive items like meats and cheese.

Great Substitute for High Carb Items

Lets be honest. Many of us want to eat the same way that we did before making the choice to move to a healthier and lower carb lifestyle. Rice and potatoes and bread are all comfort foods that we grew up with. Being able to find a substitute to give you the feeling of a comfort food dish without all the unnecessary carbs and calories is a win.

10 Keto Recipes Using Cauliflower Rice

As I said up top, I didn’t always love cauli rice. You know why? Because it is not good plain. I am sure someone out there will disagree with me but to me it needs to be doctored up a bit (or a lot).

These 10 keto recipes using cauliflower rice will give your dinner rotation a fresh new feel while incorporating a vegetable packed with vitamins and nutrients. I love that each of these recipes gives a completely different flavor profile and cuisine to the cauliflower rice that you haven’t known what to do with.

Cheesy Salsa Verde Chicken with Cauliflower Rice – This is my top recipe on my blog and was pinned more than 100,000 times in 2018. It features a simple 2 ingredient queso to drench your cauli rice and chicken in. And it is ready in 30 minutes!
Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole – An old family favorite, this recipe of my grandmother’s was adapted to be low carb by subbing the white rice for cauliflower rice. It is rich and delicious.
Keto Hawaiian Haystacks – Keen for Keto shows you how to make a completely customizable Hawaiian Haystacks meal using cauliflower rice. She shares that it is great for her large family because everyone can choose exactly what they like. I am definitely adding this to my meal plan the next time we have all the kids over. Trying to please 5 kids (3 teens and 2 toddlers) is next to impossible.
Chicken Divan – Broccoli, chicken, cheese and rice just go together. They are keys to a great casserole and buy simply subbing cauli rice for the white stuff, you can eat it on your low carb / keto diet. Yum!
Cajun Cauliflower Rice – Valerie at Thyme and Joy has created a delicious take on New Orleans dirty rice with this recipe. My husband is from Louisiana so Cajun food hits our table often. And as a busy mama, I love simple one skillet meals like this one.
Bacon Burger Casserole – Burgers are always a family pleaser and a casserole is great for an easy week night meal.
Keto Chicken Korma – One of my step-daughters loves Indian food. This dish has all of the classic Indian flavors and comes together in 30 minutes. It is going on my meal plan for this week!
Tumeric Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Soup – A quick soup that is loaded with vegetables and turmeric is a great week night remedy to keep you feeling your best.
Cauliflower Fried Rice – One of the first cauli rice recipes that I ever made was a low carb fried rice. Even my cauli rice hating husband ate it and like it. It is a great way to get your Chinese take out fix without cheating.
Louisiana Seafood Gumbo with Cauliflower Rice – This recipe from A Sprinkling of Cayenne is a little more time consuming than the others in this list but I just couldn’t leave it out. I had written off gumbo while eating low carb and boy was I wrong! Check out this yummy recipe when you have a little extra time on your hands and want a big bowl of Cajun love.
