Ok, before I get started, I have to put out a disclaimer: I'm less than 2 weeks from my competition. I am currently carb-depleted, and my taste buds are a little "off" at the moment, so if this does not sound good to you - then pass on by! But I thought they were actually pretty good considering what I'm able to eat right now. :)
Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake
1 scoop vanilla protein
1/2c pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
1/3 - 1/2c almond milk (I use regular unsweetened)
Dash of vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
1 packet of stevia (optional)
5 ice cubes
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth - enjoy!
This tastes like pumpkin pie to me!!! I eat it almost every day. Pumpkin is a great carbohydrate because it is very low-carb to begin with and is loaded with fiber. I sometimes just mix this in a bowl and eat it with a spoon! :)
Tuna Salad
1 can of tuna packed in water
2 boiled egg whites
1tbsp ground flax seed
1tsp olive oil
chopped celery (optional)
dijon mustard
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and enjoy! You can put this on a sandwich too if you'd like. Off-season I'll be adding a little bit of olive oil mayo, but for now the dijon does the trick just fine. :) The ground flax adds in some fiber and good fats. This is another staple for me these days too. Yum!
There you go - a couple quick snacks. I'm not promising that you will love them, but if you are trying to cut back on carbs, then give them a try! You might be surprised like I was. ;)
