Noodle-less Lasagna

I didn't use a recipe, so this is more of ingredients & instructions (yes, as easy as it looks @GreenTealael ). You make make this lighter/healthier, or richer/fattier. I'm in maintenance, so mine wasn't as low cal as it could have been.

4 Different Layers

Ricotta Layer

Ricotta (skim, fat free, or whole, I'm sure a non dairy sub like silken tofu would work as well)

Parmesan cheese

eggs

Frozen spinach (I dry sauteed to take out all the excess moisture, it was almost crunchy)

Black pepper

Mix together

Sauce Layer

Italian Sausage (pork, turkey or meatless, hot or mild)

Onions

Jarred Pasta Sauce (I LOVE TJ's Traditional Marinara, tasty, cheap, and super low cal)

(Can add mushrooms if desired)

Sautee onions (& mushrooms), add sausage, cook through, add sauce and simmer)

Zucchini Layer

Zucchini sliced lengthwise (any other summer squash would work, or portobello mushrooms)

Airfry or dehydrate to remove excess liquid

Cheese Layer

Mozzarella Cheese (Can add additional, I added Quatro Formagio from TJ's as well)

Instructions

Layer each different component, topping with cheese.

Bake at 350 until melt-y and bubble-y

14 gr. Protein 7 carbs.

1.5 oz shredded chicken breast

1 mission street corn tortilla

fresh pico

I have jumped on the Chia pudding Bandwagon!

Base Pudding has 5 ingredients: Chia seeds, cashew milk, stevia, vanilla extract & salt.

I added some chocolate-flavoured Protein Powder and some pumpkin seeds. 4.2g Net Carbs, rest of macro data in screenshot below.

It's delicious, but is more filling than I thought it would be....ate a little more than half of it (the MFP data is for the entire serving though, will probably eat the rest tomorrow).

I tried Chia pudding with almond milk and it turned out like a big lump with liquid floating on the top. I used a recipe that had a little a lot of positive reviews. I know how to measure and follow instructions, I can’t figure out what went wrong.

When the mixture was put in the fridge, I gave it a mix/shake after 15 mins then again 15 minutes after that. I think if i didn't it would have turned out clumpy as well.

This keeps happening to me as well. I wind up having to freeze it in the end which tastes pretty good but I just can’t get the consistency right 😒

I stir the chia seeds with a little almost boiling hot Water first (to plump them immediately instead of waiting) then add the milk

This seems to speed the proccess up for me.
