If you like chineese food, then you'll love this version of chicken chow mein.

2 chicken thighs

4 large onions

3 celery stalks

1 small can of sliced Water chestnuts

2 1/2 cups of fresh beansprouts( if using canned, then add whole can)

1 can of fat free/reduced sodium chicken broth

sea salt

lite soy sauce

corn starch (very little)

Boil chicken until done and remove from pan and cool a bit.

Drain water from pan and deskin and debone chicken into bite sized pieces.Return chkn to empty pan and add the can of chicken broth, sliced onions and celery. Salt it lightly with sea salt, as you will be using soy sauce also. Cook until veggies are almost completely tender. Add beansprouts and water chestnuts until sprouts are tender.,. Put a couple of spoons of cornstarch in a bowl and add some boiling water to make like a pancake batter consistencey. Put just a spoonful in the pan to thicken it up. a little bit more may be needed. I put it over steamed rice and sprinkle a little soy sauce on top. The kids however, like to put it over the crunchy chow mein noodles. This can also be made with lean hamburg and beef broth, only you cook the onions and celery with the hamburg, and when its done you add 1/2 can of broth, sprouts and water chestnuts. Absolutely delicious.

2 scoops of Isopure zero carb chocolate protien powder

1/4 of a small banana

2 fresh strawberries

1 tbsp of crushed pineapple in natural juices (no sugar added)

artificial sweetener packets.(I use 2 , but use as to your desired sweetness)

Throw it all in a blender and blend until smooth. I sip on 8 0z's, and give the rest to my daughter. She loves when I make these.
