Protein Powerhouse Delight: Transform Your Vegetarian Diet with De-Fatted Peanut Magic
1So, I was on a mission to make my vegetarian diet more protein-packed and tasty. Peanuts seemed like the perfect fit – delicious and loaded with protein. The only hitch? They packed a calorie punch due to their fat content.
Then, I had a lightbulb moment – why not try defatting them? I got a small oil press machine, separated the oil, and voila! The defatted peanut powder was a protein powerhouse with reduced calories, but the taste was a bit meh.
I experimented with bananas and other stuff, but nothing wowed my taste buds. Until one day, I hit the jackpot – mixing the defatted peanut powder with milk, jaggery, cocoa powder, and a splash of coffee. It was a game-changer, resulting in a super tasty snack.
Here's the simple recipe:
-Grab 30g of de-fatted peanut flour (grind that oil cake real fine if you want it for a smoothie).
-Toss in 4g of jaggery.
-Add 2g of cocoa powder.
Mix it all up.
-Pour in 20g of milk & 20g of water (go for ice-cold if you're feeling fancy – makes it sweeter!).
-Add 5g of coffee decoction.
Mix it again and dive in!
Pro Tip: Roast the peanuts and peel off the skin(of ~50% of the seeds) before pressing for an even tastier treat. Yes, you lose a bit of antioxidants and fiber, but trust me, the flavor upgrade is totally worth it!
And here's a bonus: You can use the oil generated for cooking. So, not only are you getting a delicious snack, but you also have cooking oil ready to roll!
So there you have it – my quest for a tasty, protein-packed snack, and I'm sharing the secret recipe with you all. Enjoy the deliciousness!
