How to use this product most effectively. Two recipes for self-cooking.
One of the biggest problems of bodybuilders is proper nutrition. Sometimes it can be so difficult to decide on foods to take before or after a workout. Of course, you can eat a sandwich or a bun, but this is wrong. Fast carbohydrates will not add muscle mass. The only thing that can be achieved with their help is to increase the fat layer. So why “torment” your body if you can eat a satisfying protein cookie. All that remains is to prepare it.
What are the advantages?
If you choose the right recipe and buy all the necessary ingredients, you can get a really satisfying treat. Such cookies will contain what is required for development, muscle fiber growth and recovery. It's no secret that after training you always want to eat. In the body, a carbohydrate-protein window opens wide open, which needs to be “closed” wisely. And what could be better than delicious and satisfying cookies with lots of protein, carbohydrates and vitamins. Which recipe to choose? We will discuss this issue in the article.
What to cook?
Many people think that preparing a delicious delicacy is difficult. Not at all. You can always choose a recipe that suits the ingredients and cooking time. So let's get started:
- Oatmeal cookies with protein. This recipe is well known to most housewives. We'll just update it a little. So, as ingredients you need to buy and prepare coconut flakes (half a glass) and the same amount of egg whites. After this, measure out four cups of oatmeal (preferably as small as possible), stevia (four teaspoons), vanilla (3 teaspoons is enough), apple mousse (one cup), protein powder (7-8 scoops), raisins ( as a rule, half or a whole glass is enough), a little almond (half a glass) and two tablespoons of cinnamon.
Pour everything into a large bowl and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained (if, of course, you can call it that). Preheat the oven to 160-180 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating up, begin to form cookies of the required shape on a sheet (you should get about 50-60 servings). Install the “blanks” and let them stand in the heat for about 20 minutes. That's all - wonderful and healthy cookies are ready. The recipe is very simple, and the preparation itself will take no more than 20-30 minutes. The main thing is to buy everything in advance.
- Simple protein cookies. This recipe is even simpler. Its peculiarity is the minimum amount of fat and calories in the composition. As a result, cookies can be safely eaten even while losing weight. A big plus is the minimum amount of flour, which is replaced by protein. This delicacy is best eaten about 30-40 minutes before the start of classes. On the one hand, it will provide the necessary feeling of satiety, and on the other hand, it will give the body a supply of nutrients and energy.
You can adjust the recipe yourself. For example, no one bothers you to buy and add more protein to cookies, and reduce the total volume of oatmeal. In this case, you will get a satisfying product for gaining weight.
In general, let's look at the cooking features in more detail.
You will need oatmeal (90-100 grams), protein (casein or whey - 25-30 grams), one-third cup of sugar, egg white (2 pieces) and special oven paper (you will bake delicacies in it).
If you don’t like large oat flakes, you can grind them or use them to make flour. The protein can have any flavor (this is up to your preference). Just don't overdo it with protein, because the cookies may turn out bitter. Sugar can be removed by adding sugar substitute instead. It is useless to use honey, because when heated, there will be no useful substances left.
Once everything is prepared, pour into a bowl and mix until combined. After this, use a spoon to spread the finished mixture onto a sheet in the form of a small cookie. Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees and place the sheet with the preparations inside. Just 15-20 minutes is enough and the nutritious food is ready.
Conclusion
Remember that such protein treats are very healthy and can significantly increase the effectiveness of your workouts. The main thing is to choose a decent recipe, buy the ingredients and set aside a little time for the sake of your health. Good luck.
