Shake-It-Up Contest: Win Grow!

1 serving of Low-Carb Grow!, Flax-O-Meal Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

1.5 scoops of Banana Grow!

1/2 cup cottage cheese

few squirts of no sugar chocolate syrup

1 pack splenda

Cook Low-Carb Grow! and flax meal as directed and then add 1 scoop of whey, mixing the two. Cook the mixture as you would a pancake. Next mix cottage cheese, splenda and .5 scoop of whey. Pour this mixture on the pancake, as a topping. Cover with chocolate syrup and put in freezer for 1.5-2 hours to freeze. This is my favourite nighttime snack. Win or lose, at least we all have some new ideas for a healthy living style that doesnt involve plain old chicken and rice. Thanks for the ideas ladies and gents.

I really like adding a scoop of chocolate Grow! to my chili right in the bowl…top with some cottage cheese and you have a mean protein meal
2 lb ground beef
1 8oz can crushed tomatoes
8 oz water
garlic
onion
habanero peppers
paprika
salt

brown the beef in a skillet, drain, throw in the rest of the ingredients let it simmer for about an hour

then put some in a bowl mix with chocolate grow, top with cottage cheese and put with some brown rice and you got a hell of a meal

HOMEMADE GROW BARS

8 scoops Low-Carb Grow!
1.5 cups fresh/frozen blueberries
1 cup raw, uncooked oatmeal
1/3 cup oat bran
4 tbl natural peanut butter
1 ts cinnamon
1 tbl vanilla

microwave and mash up the blueberries until they’re practically purified. then, mix all ingredients in a very large mixing bowl. the mixture will get quite tacky so you’re going to have to use your hands and really knead and mash the stuff til it’s thoroughly blended. (i put on gloves to do this because it’s a bit of a mess.) if you’ve done it right, you’ll have a mass that resembles the consistency of old wood putty.

once it’s completely mixed, divide into 8 equal parts and smash and roll into the form of bars or figurines of your liking.

throw these babies on some wax paper, seal them in a ziploc bag and throw 'em in the fridge.

2 scoops Grow!
16oz water
1/4 Cinn
1 Plain gram cracker
4 ice cubes

Blend till smooth.

Simply Super Strawberry

10oz Skim Milk (plus)
3 Scoops Strawberry Low-Carb Grow!
1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseed
1 Cup (yes a whole cup) frozen strawberrys
Splenda or honey to taste

Now this may look ordinary but the key is the large amounts of frozen strawberrys. Have you ever hade a really thick shake like the ones from smoothie king? The frozen strawberrys give it that same exact consistency without losing flavor by using ice. Lots of nutrients and even has some EFAs and fiber. Plus its delicious.

This is what I use before volleyball.

6 Ice Cubes
2 cups skim mild
2 scoops of Banana Low-Carb Grow!
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1 tablespoon of fluff

Between the carbs and fat, my blood sugar doesn’t crash and it gives me lots of energy for 2 hours of running.

Here is mine, I use this pre/post workout sometimes. It is also good any other time for that matter.

  1. Two-Three scoops of Low-Carb Grow! (I use Chocolate, but it will work with any flavor).

  2. One scoop (comes with Grow!)of Flax seed.

  3. One scoop of Wheat Germ

  4. One handful of Blueberries (add to touch).

  5. Couple of tablespoons of Peanut Butter.

  6. Couple handfuls of Ice cubes.

  7. Fill blender with cold Green Tea instead of water.

  8. (Optional) One scoop of stone-ground Oatmeal (uncooked).

This makes a great power shake![/quote]

Another variation of this for the morning is to use coffee instead of Green Tea. I use about 1/2 pot of Starbucks Expresso Roast.

Weekend recipie:

2 scoops of banana cream growl
1 cup of low fat milk
a few scoops low fat/carb ice cream with vanille taste (you can add to the vanilla taste with natural vanilla)
2 fresh bananas

you mix this in a blender and ad the ice creem slowly and use a spoon to add air into the mixture, when you have done this and it is getting nice and mushy, add 4cl of ?whiskey! :slight_smile: this is my weekend snack.

Okay, I’ve seen a lot of variations with peanut butter, but I don’t have a blender (it’s in storage).

I just tried 2 TBSP natural PB, with 1 scoop of grow, and mixed it in a bowl. There was too much powder still left in the bowl so I added just a little bit of water (maybe 1/3 cup?) and came up with a creamy peanut butter texture, with that awesome chocolate Grow! taste.

Sorry if someone already mentioned this one, but it was very quick and easy to get 28g pro, 6g carbs, and 16g fat, and it was a last minute thought to get another protein/fat meal in, fast.

This is by no means anything special or interesting, but it is what I have for my first meal of the day pretty much every morning except when cutting. It is so delicious and a great way to start my day.

16 ounces milk
1 cup raw oats
2 scoops Chocolate Grow!
1/2 or whole frozen banana

And this is what I have almost every night for my last meal of the day.

16 ounces fat free Hood
1 scoop Grow (any flavor)
3 flax seed oil pills
1 serving of almonds or walnuts

Another shake I like a lot for P+F.

16 ounces cold water
2 scoops Grow! (Choclate or Vanilla)
2 table spoons milled flax seed
1 serving walnuts

I eat that exact meal everyday before bed, except I throw it in the freezer for about 15 minutes before I eat it. I don’t think you added 1/3 a cup of water though, that would make it way too thin.

You’re probably right. I just added a tiny bit, mixed it, then added a little more (actually too much the second time, but then poured some out before mixing).

I had microave the PB because I was getting to the bottom of the jar and apearantly didn’t mix the PB well enough to start with.

I couldn’t believe how good it tasted. I thought of peanut butter cups while eating it.

I tried something simmilar a while ago with ON 100% Whey, but it didn’t taste nearly as good, and didn’t seem to mix as well either.

1/4 almonds

1cup blue berries

3 scoops of vanilla Grow!

2 cups non fat milk

After all has been added blend for 2 min or untill smooth.

The almonds and blueberries really compliment each other and you’re getting an even amount of unsat. fat and carbs, and lots of protein…

6 egg whites

1 tsp guar gum
3 tbsp splenda
1/2 cut low carb cottage cheese
cinnamon/vanilla extract/natty pb depending on desired flavor.
