Cranberry Protein Shake

Tom got this recipe from Body for Life (BFL). They have alot of good recipes - check out their site.

1/2 c. cranberry juice (not cocktail)
1/2 c. skim milk
1/2 c. frozen berries (we like strawberries or blueberries in it)
1/2 c. dessert style tofu, plain (or soft tofu)
1 T honey
and ice cubes for desired thickness

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth. Serve immediately. You won't even taste the tofu. This makes 2 servings

Crepes

I've made these several times. They are great and mainly made of protein! Mom came in town this wkd and i served these - she really liked them!

1 lg carton egg beaters (or 2 small containers of egg beaters)
3/4 c. cottage cheese
1/2 c raw oatmeal (processed in blender to make a flour)

Mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour about 1/4 c. into pan and cook like a crepe. Try not to make them too thick. Add filling and roll like a tortilla. I just put fresh fruit on mine and put fat free cool whip on it along with sugar free syrup. I figure it's 1 protein and 1/2 carb per crepe (1.5 points WW).
