PB & Chocolate Protein Ice Cream

A few weeks ago I saw a post on a simple way to make your own ice cream without actually having to make ice cream. And of course I instantly thought, "I wonder if I could make a high-protein version of that!" And you know what, I did! And I made it peanut butter and chocolate flavor!

The Best Articles of 2014

There was a ton of great content that made its way to allnaturalmuscle.com in 2014. But there are only a few articles that can to be crowned the best articles of 2014. Check out which ones made the cut!

Protein Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake

It's still that time of the year when weather gets a little cooler and Starbucks sells pumpkin spice lattes. Yes, fall is the season for all things pumpkin. So, why not have a pumpkin cheesecake?

What's that you say? It's been done before? Well, this year's cheese cake is even better than last years. It's got fewer calories, more protein and more... pumpkin spiciness! It's really something you have to taste to believe.

Super Simple Pumpkin Pancakes

My recipes tend to follow my diet. When I am on an extended calorie surplus (aka bulk), I favor recipes with more carbohydrates and more calories. When I am on a calorie deficit (aka cutting fat), I favor lower fat, lower carbohydrate recipes. Well, right now I am on a calorie surplus and that means there are plenty of carbos in this recipe. But that's not always a bad thing. The taste is awesome! And it's also incredibly easy to make.

Low Fat Double Chocolate Cheesecake

Two of my favorite things are chocolate and cheesecake. And this recipe has both! But wait, that's not all... it's also low in fat with a healthy serving of protein. So, what's different about this cheesecake compared to the others on allnaturalmuscle.com? This cheesecake has chocolate chips inside and it doesn't have any protein powder in it. But the important part is how it tastes. Fortunately, it's pretty darn fantastic.

Fastastic Macro Friendly Meatloaf

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Mahendra texted me a meatloaf recipe. At the time I was working on a protein fluff recipe, so I shelved it. Well, last week I finally came back to it and I am I glad that I did! It was incredible how simple it was to make and good it turned out. Whahaha! Not only do I now have a great meatloaf recipe [that I am also sharing with you], but I had a food that I can ear year round, regardless of my fitness goals.

Blueberry Vanilla Protein Fluff

The first time I ever heard of protein fluff was on proteinpow.com. So, it's only fitting that is a variation of one of the recipes listed on the site. And wow, is this stuff great! It's basically like soft froyo but with macros to die for. Seriously, it tastes that good! The whole time I was eating it, I couldn't believe that it was so low in fat and that there was no sugar added. It's pretty amazing stuff... er fluff!

PB Chocolate Chip Proatmeal Cookies

Finally, a cookie recipe! And a pretty darn good one at that! This recipe combines several of my favorite things: proats, chocolate chips, peanut butter, cookies... I'm getting hungry just thinking about them. If you love oatmeal cookies, chocolate and peanut butter but want a healthy protein packed alternative to all the fat and sugar that usually accompanies those cookies, then this recipe is for you!

Chocolate PB Protein Pops

It's the middle of summer, and in Florida that means hot and muggy. So, my appetite for frozen treats and cold drinks has definitely increased. And what can be better for a frozen treat than a fudgesicle? Below is my spin on fudgecicles... with protein! It's a lean, healthy, tasty, and frozen treat that is sure to melt any meathead's heart.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Pan Cake

A couple of weeks ago I saw recipe for a giant baked pancakes. And as cook of an idea as it seemed, when I tried the recipe it honestly wasn't that good and kind of eggy. So, then I went on the search for a new recipe. And I found one! But of course I added my own twists.

Baked Hogfish Nuggets

Last weekend I went spearfishing in the Gulf of Mexico for the very first time. I would have been happy to catch anything. But it just so happens that I hit one of my favorite fish's of all time, a hogfish snapper. After a couple of days in my freezer, I decided to try my hand at fileting my hogfish. And that turned out well, terrible. So, instead of fish filets, I had fish nuggets. But battered and baked fish nuggets are simple to make and awesome to eat. And they fit perfectly into my current fat cutting diet.

Seriously Healthy Shrimp Enchiladas

As some of you might know, I am currently doing a brief fat cutting period. And that means going through a caloric deficit period. However, just because I am consuming fewer calories, that doesn't mean I can't still eat the foods I love. And I love enchiladas! And what's more is that you will love these enchiladas for being low in carbs and fat but packed with protein and flavor!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Protein Pie

If you can get past the tongue twister name, this is one delicious pie. Actually, I think this is my most delicious no-bake recipe ever. It's got chocolate, peanut butter and a crunchy nutty crust. It tastes sinful but it's rather tame by comparison to most other desserts. And did I mention that it's also packed with protein? If you were looking for some peanut butter and chocolate protein awesomeness then your search is over! This pie is exactly what you want.

A Healthier Kosmic Karma Pizza

One of my favorite pizzas of all time is the Kosmic Karma pizza at the Mellow Mushroom. My girlfriend and I describe this pizza as "baked crack" because that's how awesome and addictive it is. For those of you who have never experienced the mouthgasm of the Kosmic Karma at Mellow Mushroom, you are in for a treat today! Because that's what this recipe is all about! But with this recipe, you can eat about half a pizza for the amount of calories in one slice of the original Mellow Mushroom Kosmic Karma.

Vegetarian Lasagna

Last week you got a crab & spinach crock pot lasagna. This week I'm keeping with the lasagna theme, but with just a little twist: vegetarian lasagna. That's right! This is a lasagna packed with sausage meat that is also vegetarian. And coming from a meat eater (myself), I can confirm that you'd never know this was a vegetarian dish unless someone told you.

Healthy Crab & Spinach Lasagna

I was checking out Chad Jackson’s and Hunter Labrada’s Facebook page and it got me thinking that I should post another crockpot recipe. I’ve also had several requests for additional entree recipes. Well, here is an additional crockpot recipe!

This recipe was inspired from many different sources. Basically, I wanted to do a lasagna. But I couldn’t use beef or pork (my girlfriend is a pescatarian). So, I thought about how I could make a good… I mean REALLY GOOD crockpot lasagna with seafood. And this is what I came up with. And modesty aside, it is REALLY GOOD!

Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

I've been meaning to try something like this for months, ever since I saw this Brownie Batter Overnight Oatmeal Recipe on Dashing Dish. It looked pretty good and the ingredients and directions were simple enough. The problem was that I didn't have any chocolate or coffee protein powder left. But I did have some Gaspari Peanut Butter Cookie Dough protein powder. So, I changed a few things around and wow! It tasted just like soft cookie dough!

PB Cheesecake Protein Mug Cake

I ran out of ON 100% Gold Standard Whey. So, I bought some Gaspari Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Myofusion protein powder. With the price increases that ON has had lately, Myofusion is now so much less in comparison that I had to do it. And since I had some Myofusion hanging around, I figured I would make a protein mug cake with it... a Peanut Butter Cheesecake Protein Mug Cake!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Mug Cake

If you have been following facebook.com/AllNaturalMuscle then you would know that I have tried (and failed) to make a decent mug cake for months. But each time I failed I learned a few things. And gradually my mug cake got better and better. And now it is so good that it's ready for prime time on allnaturalmuscle.com.

This is the mug cake to end all mug cakes. It's marcos are really good. And it's packed full of dark chocolate peanut butter goodness! As in "Oh my goodness!"

Blueberry Cobbler Protein Granola

Cobbler
It's blueberry season. And that means lots of fresh blueberries! So, what did I do with my blueberries? I made some kick-ass blueberry cobbler protein granola, that's what!

And what did I do with my blueberry cobbler protein granola? I submitted it for entry in the proteinpow.com 2014 Protein Wizard competition. So, check it out. And once you start drooling over your keyboard, cast a vote for this blueberry cobbler protein granola. Then, mop up that puddle of drool and go make yourself some.
