My meals with KJ York’s Challenge Today:
1st meal - A Fuel-Pull Meal
Veggies
FP - Tanya Mackey's FP Pancakes (subbed out the ground oatmeal for oat fiber, and added in some egg white powder for even more protein in my meal) - web.archive.org/web/201906031...
I topped the pancakes w/ stevia-sweetened protein-enhanced 0% fat Greek yogurt & a homemade stevia sweetened gluccie-thickened cranberry sauce.

2nd meal: An E-Meal
E - Quinoa w/ shrimp - very plain...just squeezed lemon juice over frozen shrimp that boiled after coming home from my Trader Joe's shopping trip today; I salted both the quinoa and the shrimp, but that's about all the fuss that I went to.
To cook a light and fluffy NON-STICKY quinoa, I soaked it in water, with enough to cover it - it sat in my Instant Pot liner overnight. In the morning I poured off that water, added fresh water, poured that off, added fresh water again and poured THAT off…leaving just enough water to barely cover the quinoa. I put on the Instant Pot lid, sealed it for pressure cooking, cooked it for one minute, and waited for pressure to naturally release. When all the pressure was gone, I had nice fluffy quinoa to use. I will freeze some portions in baggies, flattened for easy thawing.
FP - Fruity Nogurt, THMC p. 343, topped with some frozen strawberries that I thawed and chopped up thawed. I made some Handy Chocolate Syrup to add a special sweet treat to my dessert ( photo/?fbid=...[0]=AZUhli6U9aOan70cBS6Q0pQ6wZpx5IDZ-uZk7l46LPIyfVfLnrmy_ESeRzQ2cDOPiiJU45c8siCC4jtGTpE_ML3blfB7xumPWGLf6hiH6hxn--6Vs0COX7Ik-O41npEbNGY&__tn__=EH-R)
FP - Monarch Tea - I shared my recipe in one of my public FB posts: photo/?fbid=...
NOTE:
I did NOT end up eating the Farro Salad and the Kale Salad that are both crossed out in my photo...after I set them out as part of my meal they just did not appeal to me...and I was plenty filled up without them.
In hindsight, I should have had more greens today - I could have mixed up a very simple Green's Drink w/ greens, sweetener, and cinnamon since I always have greens in my freezer; I have a 4min video: Greens Drink - Drink Them! Don’t Waste Them! - • Greens Drink - Drink T...
Link to KJ York of Joyful Life with KJ (joyfullifewithkj.mykajabi.com). She created a pdf cookbook with all kinds of sweets using a low-carb low-fat baking mix called No Carb Easy Bread Mix (NCEB). Laura Slote created a homemade mix that will work as NCEB for those recipes. This is a link to KJ York’s free cookbook filled with recipes she created using the No Carb Easy Bread mix (NCEB): bit.ly/3fdgPs9
Low-Carb & Low-Fat Baking Mix Substitute by Laura Slote; the mix is a one-to-one substitute for the Trim Healthy Mama No Carb Easy Bread mix, NCEB…which can be used for MORE than just making bread (look below for a link to KJ York’s cookbook that uses the NCEB to make baked goods.) This is a link to Laura using the actual NCEB mix to make some bread ( • THM No Carb Easy Bread... ) and by connecting to her CZcams channel you can also see her make some bread with her own mix that stands in for NCEB mix.
