Subtitle: We’re taking a break from the serious topics.
This week’s winners? eurydice and betsy! Email me at MizFit08@yahoo.com and I’ll get you a’meal mixin’!
Recipes I mention in video:
PROTEIN PASTA (Makes 8.8 ounces/two servings)
One cup plus one teaspoon Pea Protein Powder (Plus some for dusting)
Three large eggs
¼ teaspoon olive oil
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients with fork until blended. Knead for 2-3 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic and allow to sit for 30 minutes at room temp. Remove dough from plastic & roll out to the thickness of a dime. Cut into shape using a sharp knife/cookie cutter. Dust with pea protein as required.
Place cut pasta on a lint free paper towel for 15-20 minutes to dry. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally so the noodles don’t stick together.

PIE CRUST PROTEIN ENRICHED (Makes one 9″ pie crust)
1 ¼ cups plus one tablespoon Pea Protein powder
½ cup almond flour
pinch of salt
½ cup butter, margarine, or shortening (chilled)
½ cup ice water
Instructions:
Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Add chilled butter (or whatever youre using) & use a fork to mix into pea sized lumps. Add ice water slowly using just enough to make dough one mass. Remove dough from bowl and press into a 4 inch disc. Wrap disc in plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove dough from plastic wrap and press into a pie pan.
Bake pie shell in 350 degree oven for 15-16 minutes. Remove from oven and fill!

*waving Hi* I’m doing great thanks for asking.. weight training is going well..
as I zip up my suitcase and head out for work travel.
love LOVE this pasta idea! You totally just made my week
Oh, that pie crust sounds delicious!
You know, I didn’t no peas had that much protein. I’ll have to see if the local whole foods carries this product!
gena, they *dont* naturally (hope that message didn’t get lost in my video).
(Overheard in my kitchen earlier today)
Pea1: I suck. I so totally have no protein level in me.
I’m entirely worthless. *sigh*
Pea2: (snaps Pea1′s MizFit bracelet HARD against Pea1′s wrist)
oh.
No.
You.
DIDN’T.
You can’t do that negative self CHATTER up in the Miz’ kitchen!!
Pea1: I know. But I’m hopeless.
Pea2: no way! Didn’t you hear?
There’s a special process where we go from *low* to HOLYCR**IDIDNTKNOW protein levels.
And we don’t have to do a thing!
Pea1: (smiling) ooooh. Yeah, I forgot.
(Preens)
I make this green shell look GOOD.
Pea2: that’s what I thought I heard you say.
And.
ThumbTypedScene.
Yes! More protein!! Thanks for the ideas. I am a little ummm protein lacking so this is great. Also, thank you for doing face time on Mondays- it makes my Monday A.M.’s so much better! May I say, your arms are incredible! Hope you had a LOVELY weekend!
Interesting. Although the website won’t let me see the ingredient list:( I’d like to know more about the process of getting the protein in there and all, too.
Also, I can’t wait til I get my MizFit bracelet because I could TOTALLY use it this morning for snapping- I missed boot camp by sleeping in and for the past half hour I have been full of the negative chatter and kicking myself for missing it. Am trying SO HARD to just accept that I missed out and continue on my day regularly!
OOOH SNAP!! (please to read like jamie pressley/joy turner on My Name Is Earl)
it is ON its way, Sagan.
and so am I….to hunt for the ingredients list on sidekick…not at home but can type up later if I cant find.

in the kind I have (vanilla):
Ingredients: Pea Protein Isolate, Xylitol, Natural Vanilla Flavor, and Stevia.
The plain or natural flavor looks to be (is claimed to be? *wink*) 100% Golden Pea Kernels.

The 9 year-old in me started chuckling because you kept saying “pee”…and then you cracked me up all over again with the conversation between the peas – were they, like, two peas in a pod? Or were they from different pods? The negative pod and the positive pod?
Sorry – must not have gotten enough sleep…..
Great video!
Great recipes!
I love being a winner! I emailed you!
I’m always looking for sneaky ways to get more protein into my diet, and for people like me who don’t enjoy eating a lot of meat, these recipes are perfect!
Putting protein powder in a pie crust is an insanely good idea! I will pass it on to the vegan boyfriend (he’s looking to increase his protein intake). I’m not sure we can get pea protein in the UK – ah well, if he comes home with a bucket of chocolate flavoured powder we’ll have to make a dessert pie instead!!

Ooh thanks for the list:) It doesn’t sound TOO suspicious… hehe. Where do you find all of these products? They’re so cool!
Ah, I see. I did watch it pre-coffee, so it probably just went over my head!
I’m going to have to try that pie crust!
How fitting that you are talking about protein. I was just talking about getting more protein in my diet yesterday. Thanks for the tips!
Is it wrong that I licked my monitor when reading the pie crust recipe?
Love it! Protein without meat.
Thanks for sharing the info on this product! I use protein powders pretty regularly and it would be nice to have a non-soy option. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it.
I think you need to cook one of your concoctions for facetime some week. Have you made your own pasta with this? If so, I will be hugely impressed. My resolution post pregnancy (because during I am too darn lazy to go looking for it) is to purchase a protein powder and find ways to use it that might be yummy. Remind me of this in 2 or 3 months when I am whining about the whole post partum thing.
Brace yourself Michelle: I TOTALLY HAVE!
(sits down patiently and waits for the HUGELY IMPRESSED onslaught of confetti)
my problem? the flip video camera and I seem entirely unable to do a cooking segment solo.
I need to drag a friend up in herre to film me (if by friend you do NOT mean Toddler Tornado—–which I DONT).
Ive attempted the makeshift tripod so far unsuccessfully.
Im gonna tell Renaissance Man (aka MizTerFit) he needs to lend a hand.

I LOVE the idea of using this in meatloaf!
I would also like to try it in pie crust but am a bit worried about the results…
You are one creative mama. I’m very impressed! I didn’t even know they MADE pea protein. Now I shall have to go on a mission to find it.
I bet the protein pasta would be good as lasagna noodles! Several weeks ago you linked to a protein banana bread recipe that replaced sugar with protein powder and oil with yogurt, and it turned out really really good.
Wow, um vanilla flavored peas! I love the crazy sh*t you find to eat and I bet it’s actually pretty healthy and tasty. Am not as adventurous, but it makes me happy to know that there are all these bizarre and amazing products out there.
Thanks for the tip!
Vered? I see the gauntlet youve thrown down (the pie crust shaped one) and Im gonna do it.
now to find that pie pan…
M.
Have added pea protein as a possible source on my growing list of protein sources. Thanks so much!!
I’ve never heard of this kind of protein powder before, but the process sounds very interesting.
Love recipes, so thank you!
Buckeyes! Shoot, you must have been up here! I’ve never made those PB, chocolate balls of sin myself, but those treats seem to be native to this area (even if I’m not)…
…must be the trees or college football or something.
Protein Pasta…yum!
Pea protein powder! What will they think of next? Craziness!
super cool. Wonder if it is available in NZ. I’ll need to check. I’m feeling the need for a protein powder in my life but all that I’ve tried have given me aweful stomach cramps or are soy based and I’m trying to not eat too much soy these days. I’m gluten intolerant too so this would be great and that pie crust sounds awesome! I just love your monday facetime… love it love it love it.
who’d a thought! pea protein…learning something new makes me happy!
you are so funny!
oohhhh can’t wait to try! Thanks for posting this!
