Portobello Burgers

Take the stems off your mushrooms and clean them. Brush with olive oil and fresh garlic. Grill mushrooms.Take lean ground beef and add spices that are low sodium and low carb. I use a lot of pepper but use whatever you prefer.

Mix your spices and hamburger together. Make patties 5 ounces each and grill either on the barbecue or in the oven. I use an indoor grill so the fat drains off. Take your mushrooms and pat them with paper towel so they aren't so moist. Put one slice of cheese on patties and put the burger in between two mushrooms and
voila you have a burger and no bread.

You can dress the burger with PC brand ketchup that is sweetened with Splenda and has one carb per tablespoon. You can also use mustard which is low in sodium, carbs and fat. The superstore also carries veggie cheese which has one carb per slice and you would swear it was real cheese. I recommend having
asparagus with this meal. It feels like fries and burgers but so very healthy for you! This is a really good and
satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 Portobello mushrooms around the same size
• Lean ground hamburger
• Your favorite spice
• Walden Farms ketchup
• Mustard
• Lettuce
• Veggie cheese

Baked Mushrooms

(Phase 1 Compatible) - Studded with garlic, rubbed with olive oil and pounded thyme.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pound your thyme, chili and a little of the garlic in a pestle and mortar or shaker. Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the olive oil. With your hand or a brush, rub the mushrooms all over with this mixture. Make sure all the flavored oil is used up.

Tightly pack the mushrooms together, bottom side up, in an ovenproof dish or roasting pan, and with a knife make 2-3 slits randomly over each mushroom. Insert a slice of the remaining garlic into each slit. Dot some olive oil over the mushrooms, season and bake for around 15-25 minutes - cooking time depends on the size of the mushrooms.

Cook until they are soft, slightly colored and juicy. Taste one to see, continue cooking if need be. You can
also use these as a topping to your favorite salad.

Ingredients:

Makes 4 servings
• 1/3 cup of fresh thyme, leaves picked from stems

Chocolate Pudding Rolls

of pancake and roll it up, like a "jelly roll." You can enjoy it right away or, wrap with saran wrap. This will hold the shape until you are ready to eat it.

For entertaining, once the roll has taken shape, you can cut it into small pieces (finger food) and place on

Flip once the bottom has set.

Fill with your favorite vegetables( zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, cucumber, onions, tomato..)

*this is the simplest recipe ever! I added some spices in with the potato but that was personal preference. I filled it with cucumber, peppers, onions and tomato and tossed the veggies in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice & mrs. dash. The bread is mild in taste but thick enough to hold a lot of veggies. It literally took me about 5 minutes from start to finish. *

Big Mac Salad

If you cant eat at McDonald’s, why don’t we just recreate it McDonald’s at home!

Remove beef from heat & mix in WF Thousand Island Dressing, pickles & onion.

Spread lettuce on plate, add beef mixture on top.

 

Ingredients:

• 8 oz Extra Lean Ground Beef
• 1/4 c finely chopped onion
• 1/4 c finely chopped dill pickles
• 3/4 c finely shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 – 2 tbsp WF Thousand Island Dressing

Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Cups

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear for 6 minutes on each side until cooked through and browned all over. Move to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes. Then dice the chicken.

In a food processor, combine the cilantro, lime juice, chipotle peppers and the adobo sauce. Process until smooth.

Add the chicken back to the pan, along with the chipotle sauce, freshly diced red bell pepper and roasted corn. Toss until combined.

Serve a couple of Tbs. (or more if you’re a freak like me) of the chicken

mixture in each lettuce cup and garnish with scallions!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil,
• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 – 3 chipotle peppers (depending on your love of heat)
• 3 Tbs. adobo sauce (that comes from the jar)
• 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
• 1 lime
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 head butter lettuce, rinsed and leaves separated coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Hearty Vegetable Stew

Begin by browning the meat in a skillet with garlic and onions. Start cutting up all of the veggies. Throw all of the veggies and the large can of tomatoes into a pressure cooker. This is the quickest and easiest way to preserve flavor and keep the vegetables freshest during the cooking process. If you dont know have a pressure cooker, you will need to use either a crock pot and slow cook it 6-8 hours on low. Or, you can cook all of the vegetables first, then place in big soup pot and cook for 30 minutes. If you do have a pressure cooker, once you have the meat finished cooking and the vegetables chopped poor them all into the pressure cooker. Stir them all up and add enough water to cover the top of all the foo. This typically will be about 2-3 cups( a good amount of water so you have some delicious broth to eat). Then let it cook until it steams on the pressure cooker. Once it does let it go for 2 straight minutes steaming. Then once it does that remove the pressure, let it cool and then minutes later you can safely open the lid.

Your delicious soup will be complete and from start to finish it probably only took 15 minutes!

Ingredients:( Makes 2 servings!)

• 1 large cans of diced tomatoes
• 1/2 head of cabbage
• 4 zucchini
• 1 pound of lean ground beef
• garlic, onion( optional)- just to add to ground beef while cooking to give it more flavor

Do all of this just to your own taste. For sweeter and more flavorful taste add more of the stevia, apple pie spice or the walden farms.

Boil the cauliflower until it is very, very soft. Drain the water. Add the seasonings and 1/2 of any of the soup mixes/walden farms dressing, or more, to taste. Mash well and serve steaming hot.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of fresh cauliflower
• Onion powder, to taste

Sushi!!

Believe it or not, I had a dieter bring me in a recipe that she made that is ALL Ideal Protein Phase 1 suitable for Sushi!! Who says a diet means you have to stop eating all of your favorite foods!!

Not only does it look pretty, but it taste delicious!!

She purchased a sushi mat to roll the sushi up in for 3 dollars at World Market. Roll out the seaweed onto the mat. Get cauliflower and chop it in the food procesor to make it small tiny rice like granules. Then put enough Walden Farms mayo into the chopped cauliflower just to make it a “sticky” texture. Start with just 1/2 tablespoon of WF mayo, then work up depending on the amount of caulflower you are using. Chop up your favorite vegetables. This where you can make some changes. She used asparagus, red and yellow peppers,and zucchini. But hey, have fun, play with it and see what you think taste the best! Lay all of the vegetables out( just as pictured on the right) and then begin to roll up the entire ingredients using the mat. Soy sauce is allowed on the diet. So maybe try a bit for flavor!

Another option would be to even add meat. Popular sushi recipes include crab meat, tuna and shrimp. If you are a seafood person, maybe try this for your dinner meal instead of just for you lunch meal by adding that bit of protein to make your meal complete!

Ingredients:

• Seaweed
• cauliflower
• Walden Farms Mayo
• Zucchini
• Red and yellow peppers
• Asparagus

Alfredo Pasta

1. Shred zucchini (I use a large cheese grater)

2. Smaller zucchinis are best, as they do not have much water in them and will make a firmer pasta. Large garden zucchinis are VERY watery and should be patted with a paper towel to remove excess water.

3. Microwave for 3 minutes.

4. If you want a thicker pasta sauce, drain any water from the bowl. Otherwise, add your IP Soup packet and stir.

5. Microwave for additional 1minute.

6. Stir. Add any additional water if needed to bring sauce to consistency you want.

7. Add spices as desired.

• a) Tomato Soup (I add tabasco, cut celery pieces, basil and garlic. Sometimes also a squeeze of lime + sea salt)
• b) Chicken Soup (I add rosemary or thyme & oregano or turmeric (kurkuma in finnish. Its amazing) or saffron
• c) Leek Soup (I add basil, garlic, cut peppers, and mixed pepper (black, white, pink, chili))
• d) Broccoli & Cheese (I add real broccoli)
• e) Mushroom (I add different kinds of mushrooms and citrus pepper with a squeeze of lemon. Often also add thyme)

This would be a perfect way to get your lunch meal in for Ideal Protein Phase 1.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 zucchini (shredded)
• 1 package IP Soup (Any flavor)
• Spices to taste

Baked Zucchini Chips

Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil, and spray with Olive oil lighly. Set aside.

Slice zucchini into thin medallions, about the thickness of a quarter. (You can either use a knife & a very steady hand, or a mandoline slicer.)

Lay out slices on prepared baking sheet, and spray tops lightly with additional cooking spray. Sprinkle with sea salt or herb of your choice. (A note on seasoning, however – use LESS than what seems appropriate. These shrink considerably in the oven, and if you use too much it gets very concentrated. It’s better to end up underseasoning and add more later.)

Place in preheated oven and bake 45 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and bake an additional 30-50 minutes, until chips are browned and crisped to your liking. These are best eaten within a couple hours of removing from the oven, as they start to get chewy if left out. One zucchini makes one serving (1/4 C. – 1/3 C. of chips depending on the size of your squash).

Ingredients:

• 2 large Zucchinis
• 1 spray of Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Sea Salt

Garlic Rubbed Cabbage Steaks

1. Preheat oven to 400F and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Pull outer leaf off cabbage (it’s usually dirty and nasty looking), cut cabbage from top to bottom (bottom being root) into 1? thick slices.
2. Rub both sides of cabbage with smashed garlic.
3. Use a pastry brush to evenly spread the olive oil over both sides of the cabbage slices
4. Finally, sprinkle each side with a bit of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
5. Roast on the middle rack for 30 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage steaks and roast for an additional 30 minutes until edges are brown and crispy. Serve hot and Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 (approx 2lb) head of organic purple cabbage, cut into 1? thick slices

For the filling: Dissolve one teaspoon of True Lime flavoring in approx. 3 oz. of water. Add a little Stevia or
Splenda to taste. The taste should be sweet but tart. Add the contents of one Ideal Protein Vanilla pudding
and mix well until smooth. No lumps. The consistency will be thicker than your normal pudding. Cover and
refrigerate.
For the crust: Pre-heat the oven at 350o F. Mix 1 packet of Ideal Protein Maple Oatmeal with the egg white
and 1-1 ½ oz (30-45 ml) of water, just enough for a stiff but manageable dough to form.
Lightly coat your muffin tins with non-stick spray. Moisten your hands (if you don’t, the ‘dough’ will stick to
your fingers) and form little balls using approx. 2-3 teaspoons of dough. Place one dough ball in each
baking cup. Press dough down as thinly as possible across the bottom and the sides forming a little ‘cup’
(the dough will "poof" a little during baking).
Bake for approximately 5-mins or longer, if necessary. For crispy tart shells, remove them from the muffin tin
and place them upside down on top of the tin and bake for a few more minutes until golden brown. If the
cup cake shells are too thick, don’t bother as they will be too hard.
Cool on a wire rack.
Take key lime filling out of the refrigerator and stir in the last packet of True Lime flavoring to give you’re
filling an extra tangy Florida key lime bite.
For the meringue: Beat two egg whites until stiff peaks form.

of fresh lime.

Mix 1 envelop of Ideal Protein Leek soup with 2/3 cup of water.

This is a great way to "cream" any of the veggies from the list of recommended vegetables.
It would also be great with leeks.

Cook the cauliflower and mash it up but leave some small chunks and make sure you get all the water out of it.
Mix the French vanilla, pancake syrup, and cinnamon into the mashed cauliflower.

Pour in 4 ounces of hot water in your blender on low speed (be careful not to let the water jump up and burn you) and add 2 packets of Knox Gelatin so it will dissolve. Blend it on low speed until everything is dissolved. Add the Splenda into the blender until dissolved. Then add this liquid mixture to the cauliflower mixture and fold it together.
Put it in a bowl and put it in your refrigerator to get cold so it will get hard.

A little hint... after you add everything together, taste it with a spoon and see if you need to add anything. If you want it sweeter, add more Splenda. If you want more of a vanilla flavor, add some more French vanilla or pancake syrup. Remember, when it gets cold the flavors also become more pronounced.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Cut six 14in rounds of parchment paper or foil and set aside.
When the veggie mixture is cooled slightly divide it equally among the sheets of paper and top with a portion of salmon.
Drizzle each portion of fish with a sesame oil and sprinkle with the remaining chives and chopped fennel fronds. Season with a little more salt and pepper.

Fold the backing paper or foil to enclose the fish, rolling the edges together to seal the parcels.
Place the parcels on a backing sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the parcels are puffed up and, if made with parchment paper, lightly browned. Move to a warm serving plate and serve while still in paper.

Shrimp-Salty & Spicy Style

For All Stags of the Ideal Diet Protocol

Leave the shells on the shrimp if you wish. Get a nonstick wok or frying
pan very hot, and then add the sea salt and spices. Toast and toss around for about 30 seconds
before adding the shrimp. Add shrimp and shake vigorously and toss. The salt and spices will stick
and encrust themselves to the shrimp. After a minute or two the shrimp will have cooked, changed
their color and should be very tasty and crunchy. You can eat them with the shells on or off.Fantastic!

 

 

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 lb small shrimp, uncooked and in the shell
• 4 generous pinches of sea salt
• 6 generous pinches of mixed spices (fennel, coriander, cumin and chili) lightly crushed

Smashed Zucchini Paste

For All Stags of the Ideal Diet Protocol

This is really good stuffed inside an Ideal Protein Plain Crepe! Or you can cook the leek and/or
asparagus soup by pan frying it flat in a nonstick pan then baking it in the oven. Delicious!

Put 1/2 (1 tbsp) the olive oil in a non stick pan and fry your garlic and chilies for a couple of
minutes. Throw in the zucchini and stir them around to coat. Turn the heat down slightly and put a
lid on the pan. Give the pan a shake and stir every 5 minutes for 35 minutes. This will prevent the
zucchini from sticking and the lid will ensure that there is moisture in the pan. When the zucchini is
really soft with some chunky pieces and the rest almost pulped, remove from the heat and taste.
Season accordingly. At this point add the rest of the olive oil to loosen. Add your chopped mint and
lemon juice.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 small dried red chili, crumbled
• 3-4 small zucchini, unevenly sliced
• sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup of fresh mint, chopped
