I really enjoy this Tight Curves Protein Powder especially formulated for women. Tight Curves delivers many benefits that virtually every woman wants and needs to achieve and maintain a tight, toned and healthy body. This powder supports low carbohydrate diets, facilitates muscle toning, accelerates fat loss, reduces water retention and even can improve the health of hair, skin & nails. Personally I enjoy the protein packets which gives you the exact portion for a yummy post workout shake. But, in addition to being perfectly portable for us busy moms…there are a host of wonderful recipes you can use with this powder. Here are a few favorites!

Tight Curves Protein Bars

2 scoops chocolate Tight Curves Protein Powder
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4-1/3 cup Smart balance peanut butter, chunky
1 tablespoon flax
3/4-1 cup water
can also add dried fruit, or nuts

Mix all ingredients together (will be very sticky and semi-thick).Press into 8×8 pan, place in freezer for 20 min, take out of the freezer and cut into 10 bars, then place back in freezer. I eat them directly out of the freezer on my way to the gym. You can also substitute the peanut butter for almond butter or for 1 large banana. So yummy!

Soup’s On! I love this soup served with a nice grilled chicken breast for a well balanced meal. Research shows that broth-based soups help you lose weight without feeling hungry all the time. Gotta love that

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 c low sodium chicken stock
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
5 large carrots, peeled and diced
1 Tbsp jarred ginger, chopped
Plain nonfat Greek Style yogurt (as garnish)

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion and cook until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock plus 2 cups water, then add sweet potato, carrot and ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

2. Strain out vegetables and put them in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth, adding a bit of broth of needed. (You might have to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender)

3. Pour vegetable puree back into the saucepan and stir until well blended and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a dollup of yogurt on top!
