I’m not going to lie and say this is anything like ice cream, but it is very cold and it is made of milk products.
You need 125g of cottage cheese and a serving of casein (I use Optimum Nutrition Casein) or Whey (again I use ON). The casein will make it thicker than using whey, so if you use casein you may want to add a tiny amount of yoghurt, I don’t though I just mash it together with a spoon.
Once you’ve mashed it all together then you have a choice of whacking it straight in the freezer for a couple of hours or you can melt the peanut butter by microwaving a tablespoon for 20 seconds then mix that in. It’ll thin out at first but then it’ll thicken up a lot so be quick. After mixing chuck it in the freezer as above.
I tend to just freeze it without the peanut butter in it and then melt it and pour on top later.
Delicious!

These little snacks are so simple and easy and they aren’t that bad actually. For me they make a great alternative to a shake sometimes if I’m looking for something a little slower digesting than whey. I can only comment on the use of Optimum Nutrition Whey here as different powders have different consistencies.
Protein Pancake
Combine 4 egg whites (or 2Tbsp of egg white powder reconsistuted) and 0.5 to 1 scoop of whey.
Whisk for a minute.
Fry in pan on medium heat for a minute.
Flip in half and pull from pan it’ll cook the rest of the way through depending on how deep or thing the pancake was. Mine are thin.
Pour some vanilla essence over it.
Eat.
They’re also great with some carby topping as you don’t need much. A teaspoon of honey or maple syrup or warmed peanut butter goes a long way!
Enjoy

The main filler here is cabbage but other flavours are red onion, chilli, mushroom, tomato and chick peas. It’s really a perfect accompaniment to a lean piece of meat and is very filling.
So you will need …
- 1/2c of whole egg powder (this is probably the equivalent of about four large eggs).
- 1/2 cabbage shredded.
- 1/2 onion diced.
- 1/2 - 1tsp chilli minced depending on taste
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 10 mushrooms
- 1/2 can drained chick peas.
Pre-heat your over to 150deg C and get a fry pan you can put into the oven.
Heat the pan and fry the chilli and onion with the chick peas a little then then cabbage for a few minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the egg and leave it to cook a little and place the halved tomatoes and sliced mushroom on top.
Cook for about 20 minutes.
Now you have a wicked vegetable and egg pie. 31g protein, 11.5g fat, 10g carbs for a total of 150calories. I just halve mine then add it to 150g of lean meat and that’s a fantastic meal.

This isn’t strictly trifle as it doesn’t yet have a good custard added to it, but it does have jelly and cake.
You use a V-Diet muffin and a serving of diet jelly. The diet jelly adds less than a gram of carbs and a couple of grams of protein per serving. You basically chop up the muffin into small cubes and mix it through a serving of the jelly. It’s an awesome desert!
I’m going to try and make a good tasting protein pudding next and that way I might have a worthy addition instead of custard.

I have the V-Diet Muffin recipe that Daven from T-Nation created but I hate heating the oven to make a batch and having to wait so I decided to try the microwave. I put the usual shake ingredients of about two scoops of protein, two tablespoons of flax in with 1/4 cup of water and put it into a coffee mug that I’d sprayed with oil. I cooked this on high for a minute and it was done.
I just ran a knife around the edges of the cup and out it came. I cut it into slices to try it and it’s VERY dry but perfectly edible. It’s probably easier to cart around in this form than in bag of powder with a shaker.
So I think I have some very portable velocity diet shakes now!
