Fakes Me Rizi Recipes

Fakeout Chili made with Smart Ground Meatless Fat Free Veggie Protein Crumbles - no one will know unless you tell them!

This is a favourite in my house. It may sound weird but it is really good. We eat it for dinner, but it would be good for brunch.

(I use the fake crab ... "sea legs" and like it more! I have also made it with cooked chicken)

Black beans and quinoa provide plenty of protein- no fake meat needed! I really like these served with seasoned sweet potato fries.

Serve this with Vegetable Pancakes (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/reci
pe-detail.asp?recipe=398435) for a grown-up breakfast for dinner. It's a decadent dish that's worth splurging on!

This is a great summer recipe, for when fresh, sweet peaches are in season and available at your local farmer's market or grocery store! It's like a peach cheesecake tart, for less than 200 calories!

This can also be easily doubled, tripled, etc. to make multiples.

Add a scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder instead of the vanilla extract (and maybe a small splash of skim milk if it's too thick) to make a great breakfast tart instead!

DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy!

The way I see it is this: Why eat fake food, when you can portion-control the real deal? It's not an every day food, but it will SATISFY, and doesn't taste like styrofoam! ;-)

Those who know me well will say that I am not a snob--except for when it comes to icing. I want the real stuff! To me cakes are ruined with fake whippy icings made with shortening.

This is really as filling as it is enjoyable. If you really need something to fix a sugar craving its the one.

Reduced fat and sugar. The best for snack or breakfast

so good you will think you are cheating

This simple frozen beverage can satisfy a chocolate craving or an ice cream craving in one fell swoop.

This is a tasty low-fat, low-sodium alternative to the traditional fried chicken. This recipe has 10 fat grams and 172.6 mg of sodium. Now compare that to the fat and sodium that is in a regular fried chicken thigh!!!

Listed below is the approximate nutrition values for one traditional fried chicken thigh. Note: The calories, fat and sodium are higher if the chicken is extra crispy (those are the numbers at the higher end of the range):
