Who do you listen to though - your gym's nutrition advice or some dafty on the interweb? Mods, can we get this recipe bot to f**k please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 On 15/11/2019 at 03:39, Dee Man said: I made something very similar the other day - I cup of medjool dates, 1 cup peanut butter (couldn't find any almond butter), 1/2 cup cacao powder, 1 scoop whey protein powder, 1 cup dried cranberries, almonds and cashews fired in there, all mixed together then spread into a tray and left in a fridge for 2 hours. Cut into bars and it is sensational. I just put my veggies in a sieve, rest them over the pot of whatever I'm boiling and put the lid over that. There is no comparison between something like this and a chocolate bar. The dates are a great source of magnesium and potassium, the whey is near pure protein and has all the essential amino acids, so long as it is unsweetened the cacoa powder will provide you with polyphenols and help with the taste, the cranberries and nuts will have a great micronutrient profile. Your concoction will have a much lower "gi number" that is it will not spike insulin as much. The less refined sugars and refined carbs someone has in their diet the more they will improve their insulin sensitivity. The more you improve your insulin sensitivity the less quickly you get hungry. This massively helps managing your diet better by making it less about having will power to resist hunger pangs between meals. Added with the fibre from the veggies and its looking very good as part of a diet designed to make hitting a decent calorie intake achievable. The one thing to watch is the peanut butter, most likely you are aware of this, but other readers might want to check the ingredients for added salt, sugar and fats. Shop around a bit for some with less additives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it means adding wholemeal bran to every meal you eat then definitely yes to this. Fortunately eating so much bran is now regarded as unhealthy (since it strips out a lot of healthy nutrients at the same time). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any argument that eating healthy requires a bit more effort, it absolutely does. I think the boring and tasteless stuff is just people trying to justify eating utter shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handily, after it tells you in the ingredients that it is 100% peanuts, it then tells you that it 'CONTAINS PEANUTS'.

carpetmonster Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Whole Earth peanut butter is the equivalent in the UK. No sugar, just a bit of salt, and they leave the skin on the peanuts too apparently. Is the Rolls-Royce of the stuff to put on toast food group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every few months Lidl have offerse on great big tubs of WHole Earth, usually £5 a kilo. I normally grab two or three which lasts until the next time. Peanut butter is superb, I mix it into porridge, have it with overnight oats or on toast. I give to my wee boy as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
