So let's start cooking for this week's meal prep for my breakfast this week I'm gonna make a vanilla peanut butter protein Waffle I have been craving chaffels. This is pretty similar to a chaffle recipe Which is a few extra ingredients chaffels are usually made with a cheese and we're not doing that this time We're focusing more on protein powder and eggs as our base So these are going to be more like traditional waffles versus chaffels, but they're still low in carbs high in protein So let me show you what's in our recipe first. You're going to need some powdered peanut butter unsweetened applesauce pure vanilla extract Sweetener alternative of your choice. I'm using Locanto granulated as always. This is my favorite sweetener alternative I find that it tastes the most like real sugar doesn't have any weird aftertaste. It's really delicious So I'll leave Locanto down below for you with 15% off some salt Eggs baking powder which I'm out of so I'm going to substitute baking soda And then you're going to need some vanilla protein powder and I have this little pouch that I've had for a while So I'm going to go ahead and try it out and use it in this recipe It's from the brand La Brada which I've heard really good things about and this is their vanilla protein So you want some type of vanilla protein powder? I also recommend devotion angel food cake Amazing for baking absolutely amazing plus it tastes really really good I'll link devotion down below for you guys with 10% off as well But we're going to use up what I have in my pantry. So to make the base for my waffles I'm going to use my magic bullet because we want to blend everything together I did make some peanut butter with the PB2 I did a third cup of PB2 and then added water till it was more of a liquid Consistency only because we're going to need some added liquid to get the right consistency for our waffle batter And then we're adding a third cup of unsweetened applesauce three eggs and about two teaspoons of vanilla extract And then we're going to blend that up now. We're going to add in our protein powder We want about a quarter of a cup which is about a scoop of protein powder and then I'm going to give that one quick blend Now my magic bullet's pretty full if you use a full-size blender, you'd have plenty of room So I'm going to empty some of the liquid into a bowl to make room for the last few ingredients We're going to add a quarter cup of our Lakonto granulated about a quarter teaspoon of salt and half of a teaspoon of baking powder and Then give that a final blend and then I'll pour that into the bowl And we'll use the bowl to scoop it into our waffle maker So I decided to use my little mini dash waffle maker You can also use a full-size waffle maker whatever your preference is But I think I'm going to make mini waffles the recipe makes two servings But we're going to see how many mini waffles we get and we'll determine our servings So I have my waffle maker warming up when the light turns off it is warm But I am going to go ahead and spray it with some non-stick cooking spray And then using a cookie scoop I'm going to add my batter the thing with these waffle makers even the mini the full-size is you don't want to overfill them So be mindful of how much batter you're putting in close the lid and when the light goes off our first waffle is done So our first waffle is done. Ooh, this looks so good. I have a little Christmas plate here I'm just gonna set my waffles aside and we're going to repeat until we've used all the batter So our protein waffles are done that batter made a ton of them What I'm thinking is for waffles per serving which is going to be pretty similar to one full-size Waffle you can add your favorite sugar-free syrup. I love the Lakonto. That's what I'm going to be doing You can pop these into your toaster to crisp them up You can microwave them throw them in your air fryer You can really do there are so many ways that you can warm these up I'm going to pair these with some fruit You could do some bacon some eggs. I mean, it's endless possibilities, but these look absolutely Incredible so I'll go ahead and put serving sizes point macros here on the screen for you for lunch this week I'm making BLT avocado chicken salad wraps Basically, we're making a chicken salad that we're going to put on a lettuce wrap You can sub a low carb tortilla You could use a bread if you would like to make an actual sandwich But I'm going to have mine on a lettuce wrap save the carbs get in lots of protein and some extra veggies So let me show you what's in the recipe first you're going to need bacon I take the easy route the convenient route and I love the fully cooked bacon It is so easy and way less of a mess same goes with chicken You can cook up your own chicken breasts and shred them up I love to buy the pre-shredded chicken at Sprouts. This is all white meat chicken So it's zero points on WW veggies. You'll need some tomatoes some big romaine lettuce leaves green Amiens a couple of avocados garlic powder smoked paprika light mayo and salt and pepper as always I'll link my gravity fed salt and pepper grinders down below Obsessed with these. I have my bacon crisping up in the microwave. Just throw it in the microwave for about a minute It gets nice and crispy again. I'm going to chop up my green onions my lettuce and my tomatoes I'm also going to chop up my shredded chicken a little bit just to make it go a little bit further and Smaller pieces since this is more of a chicken salad recipe. These are pretty big pieces of shredded chicken Now I'm going to make the sauce starting with three tablespoons of light mayo a little bit of paprika and some garlic powder And then I think I missed this in the beginning, you know per usual with me But you're going to need a little bit of lime juice as well Now we're going to add in our chopped chicken Six pieces of the crumbled up bacon Then we're going to add our chopped tomatoes and green onions Give that a quick stir And I'm going to go ahead and chop up one avocado And then go ahead and stir one last time to get that avocado mixed in and here is what our chicken salad looks like This smells amazing All we're going to do is layer this into the lettuce leaves tortilla bread whatever you choose And that's going to be a lunch chances are I'll pair this with some type of fruit on the side for a little bit of carbs and fiber So here is a lunch. I have my lettuce leaves and Washed dried. I'm going to throw them into a Ziploc bag with a paper towel that will help keep them fresh Now the recipe says that it makes three servings That is a lot of chicken salad. I'll go ahead and pop points macros calories here on the screen for three servings But you can always make you can always make more servings It'll just decrease the points a little bit, but this is going to be such a great protein packed lunch For a sweet treat this week. I'm making peppermint mocha cookies. You guys know I love peppermint Anything so I cannot wait for these and by the way, these are extremely Low point and because we don't use any flour and the only carb we're adding to this besides the candy canes on top Obviously are rolled out. So this is a lower carb cookie as well. So let me show you what's in our recipe You're going to need rolled oats again I'm using Lakonto granulated as my sweetener alternative. Don't forget it is linked down below with 15% off We have some light butter milk of your choice cocoa powder You'll need some instant espresso powder Candy canes to garnish the top peppermint extract and vanilla extract So I went ahead and melt it down my half of a cup of light butter. I have Two cups of Lakonto granulated half of a cup of cocoa powder And then half of a cup of milk go ahead and stir that together We're going to allow this to come to a boil and cook on the stove for about two minutes I don't think I mentioned but this is a no-bake recipe. So it's super easy Great for holiday parties great for kids because it's like a no-bake cookie with peppermint and candy canes I mean what can be better than that? Now we're going to add in three cups of rolled oats And I'm going to give that a stir just to kind of get those oats mixed in with the chocolate mixture I'm going to go ahead and turn off my heat We're adding in one teaspoon of espresso powder one teaspoon of vanilla extract And then just a dash about an eighth of a teaspoon of peppermint extract and then mix that together really well Using a cookie scoop we're going to drop our mixture on to parchment paper foil Whatever you have you can use a silicone baking sheet and we're basically going to shoot for 20 No-bake cookies any cookies I put five Candy canes in a baggie and I'm going to smash these up and we'll sprinkle them on top Then to cool completely and harden like a no-bake cookie then we'll package them up and I'll be back to share points calories and macros so here are our peppermint mocha no-bake cookies by the way I tried these they're incredible They have the perfect bit of peppermint in the cookie and then that sweetness on top from the candy canes with a little bit of crunch Absolutely incredibly delicious. Like I said, we did get 20 cookies. I'll put points calories macros here on the screen for you Thank you for joining me for this week's low carb holiday inspired meal prep Everything is incredible.
