Healthy Custard Recipe

                 
 
This is probably the most delicious healthy creation I've (Juliane) randomly invented to date. I like to put different things together and just see what happens and this week has been all about my awesome custard creation. So here is the recipe just for my readers!
 
Dry ingredients
1 scoop GNC Amp Whey Vanilla Protein
1 scoop Orange Amino Energy
1 tablespoon konjac root powder
A few dashes of each-
cinnamon, ginger
1/8 tsp baking powder ( a little goes a long way)
 
Wet ingredients
1 cup water
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
liquid Vanilla Stevia
8 ice cubes
1 container Strawberry Sugar Free Jello snack (yes, it has artificial sweetener, but a little won't hurt you:)
 
Put 1/2 cup egg whites and 1/2 cup water and some liquid Stevia in non stick pan and immediately mix in all dry ingredients. Cook on medium then flip and cook other side until it has a pancake like consistency. Put the pancake in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes until it cools.
 
put about 8 ice cubes, half cup water and Jello snack in the blender with the pancake. Blend on high for a few minutes, then blend on low until nice and fluffy. Scoop it out of the blender into a bowl and pop it in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Plop on the couch and enjoy! You can sprinkle some Stevia on top for added sweetness if you want. It's really filling!!

Going Fishing...For Fat Burners?




One of my (Juliane) many jobs is working at GNC. I get asked a ton of questions about what supplements help burn fat! People always look surprised when I tell them to take a fish oil supplement. While it's best to get your heart health fatty acids from real food, most people don't incorporate enough fatty fish into their diets,
According to Web-MD omega-3 fish oil may help to:
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Reduce triglycerides
  • Slow the development of plaque in the arteries
  • Reduce the chance of abnormal heart rhythm
  • Reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke
  • Lessen the chance of sudden cardiac death in people with heart disease
There are also other benefits to supplementing with fish oil that have been supported by research:
  1. Decrease the incidence of depression and anxiety
  2. Reduce the Stress response
  3. Assist in the treatment of psoriasis and dry skin
  4. Assist in decreasing your body’s insulin response to food
  5. Decrease whole body inflammation as marked by C-Reactive protein
  6. Help with treating ADHD
  7. Assist in activating fat burning genes
  8. Assist in Muscle Protein Synthesis
Healthy fat help burns fat by activating your fat burning genes and assisting in protein synthesis (think maintaining lean muscle)... It also helps keep your blood sugar stable... this is exactly why it's the number one supplement I recommend when people ask for the perfect fat burner!
    If you are nervous about getting "fishy burps" make sure the capsule is encoded like this one...


 
                              


You don't just want to get any "fish oil" you specifically are looking for the healthy fats from the fish oil as seen below... EPA and DHA
