Calories in Juicing!

I know juicing is the popular thing to do right now for obvious reasons, but if you're a calorie counter like me, you may find it hard to track the calories in juicing, so I did a little research and here's an easy way!!

You lose fiber when juicing, so log everything you're putting in the juicer and then multiply the total grams of fiber by 4 ( because there are 4 calories in one gram of fiber) and then subtract that from your total calories. You will then get a pretty good idea! Now, its a lot of carbs and sugar if you're incorporating fruits to sweeten the greens up, so be careful! I mix half water and half juice so I get more of it for less calories....just a thought ....hopefully this helps someone out there!

Insane Bikini Momma's Vanilla Almond Protein Bars!

I think I've mastered this recipe!!!

 Two of these squares is a perfect snack, especially between your Insane Nutrition meals ;)

  1 1/2 cups quick oats
  1/4 cup almond meal
  1/2 cup baking splenda.
  2 scoops trader joes vanilla whey protein
  1/2 cup water
  2 eggs
  2 egg-whites
  1 teaspoon almond extract
  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

I put the oats in my food processor and made oat flour (cheaper ;). Then I just combined all dry ingredients with the eggs, egg-whites, water and extracts. If you are not an almond extract fan, you can reverse the measurements and make the vanilla the 1 teaspoon and almond the 1/2. I just happen to love anything almond, marzipan, sugar cookie tasting! Put in the oven for about 15-20 minutes at 350.

1 square-( This recipe makes 12 servings/squares :)
