MY HCG RECIPES FOR P2!!!

So I decided it was about time to put some HCG-friendly recipes on here since I know alot of people have trouble figuring out what to eat and how to make it, and most of the recipes out there are for P3!

Some recipes mix veggies, so if you don't want to risk that, just use more of one of the veggies and count it as your vegetable for that meal.

Stuffed Cabbage
100g sliced/chopped sirloin (can also use ground beef)
7 Large leafs of cabbage (I just use a head of green cabbage)
1/4 small onion - diced
salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley flakes or fresh parsley - to taste

For this I spray the pan with Pam and cook the meat and onions together with seasonings in a pan. Steam 4 leaves of cabbage in a small amount of water in a small saucepan, until it's soft enough to roll.
take three of the leaves of cabbed and slice thinly, and then mince to make it sort of "rice" looking, and when meat is almost cooked, throw the cabbage into the mixture.
Spoon mix and cabbage rice onto cabbage leaves, roll them up and hold together with a toothpick.


Cabbage and Tomato Soup
1 Med. Tomato - sliced or diced
1 C Cabbage - roughly chopped
1C chicken broth
1-2 C water (depending on how strong your chicken broth is)
2tbs diced onion - to taste (use about 1/8-1/4 small onion)
2tbs bell pepper - to taste (i use about 1/4-1/2 medium size)
salt, pepper, garlic powder, red chili powder, parsely - to taste

Bring to a boil and let cook on med-low heat for 15-30mins depending on how cooked you like your veggies.
Sometimes I'll chop and add in my 100g of beef or chicken and simmer it with the broth and water while i'm chopping the veggies. YUM.


Beef (or Chicken) Fajitas
Lettuce leaves
100g your choice of chicken or beef - sliced into strips and halved
1/4 small onion, sliced into strips
1/4 med bell pepper, sliced into strips
salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cilantro, 1 tbs lemon juice - to taste

Saute meat, onions, peppers and seasonings until done, wrap in lettuce leaves taco style - Fast and yummy!


Meatloaf
100g ground beef
1 egg white
1 grissini or melba - crushed
1 small (Roma sized) tomato -diced
1/2 can tomato sauce
1tbs mustard
1/8 small onion -diced
1/8 bell pepper - diced
salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, garlic powder
Personal size loaf pan - I got mine at Ikea for like $1, could also use a small casserole dish or oven-safe bowl.

Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees F.
Mix together diced veggies, beef, egg white, crumbs, tomato, seasonings, and mustard into loaf. Place into loaf pan. Mix tomato sauce with seasonings to taste and pour on top of the loaf as desired. Stick it in the oven and cook for about 30 mins (@ 400) to an hour (@ 350), or until done (use a meat thermometer - done at 165 degrees, or when a toothpick comes out clean of meat.)



Vanilla-Mocha Coffee "Protein Frapp"
2c Ice
2 packets instant coffee (I have Taster's Choice individual pack because it was on sale)
1 Scoop vanilla protein powder (I used body fortress 100% whey - $15 at walmart for 2lbs)
2-3c water
2tsp vanilla
2 packets sweetener & 2tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
(OR 6 drops of chocolate stevia and additional unflavored stevia to taste)

Mix in a blender until desired consistency (add water slowly and as much as YOU want, I like mine a little thick). YUMMY BREAKFAST with about 3g fat. Makes a full blender (5 cups)
You can use this in place of a meal on to go or use as added protein.



As I continue getting bored with food choices I'll try other things and post the recipes.
All of these recipes are my creations because I'm not really one for following recipes, I make stuff up as I go along.
