one more to the ingredient list: about a teaspoon of oyster sauce

[BackBrainKick]

^^^ chinese brocolli is the shiz; probably one of the best leafy green vegatables for you, and damn good tasting too...

...also good when cut into 2-3" pieces, blanched (boiled) briefly for 3-5 mins., and tossed with a bit of garlic, oyster sauce, sesame oil and black pepper...


...and don't hate on the rice; your body needs the carbs to restore glycogen stores if you're fight training; at the very least, eat brown rice

Terumo's Pre-Workout Vanilla Latte From Hell

8 oz strongly brewed coffee
8 oz skim milk
1.5 scoops vanilla Biotest Metabolic Drive protein powder

Brew the coffee so it is as as thick as possible. Put coffee pot into an ice bath to chill. Drink a cup of coffee while you wait for the chilling. Once nice and cool, put the coffee in a shaker cup and top with milk and protein powder. Shake vigorously, and add ice cubes if desired.

Mix everything together, and you get this:
F - 2g / C - 20g / P - 41g / Caffeine - 200mg

Terumo's Spicy-Tuna-Roll-In-A-Bowl

Yes, it rhymes.

1/2 C. short or medium grain brown rice (volume uncooked)
1 6 oz. can albacore tuna
A few generous squirts of Sriracha chili sauce (available @ any Asian market & some supermarkets)
Toasted sesame seeds
1 sheet of nori (dried seaweed, available @ any Asian market), scored into small strips

Cook rice, let cool, and mix in tuna and Sriracha. Stir. Note that Sriracha is essential. No other hot sauce will give this unique flavor. Add sesame seeds and nori, and you should have a rather familiar taste.

F - 3g / C - 80g / P - 45g

Terumo's Peanut Butter Fudge

I swear this tastes just like peanut butter fudge, and with a lot better nutritional profile. Mind you, this is still a fairly hardcore recipe, principally intended for bulking regimens. Nonetheless, it will help satiate the need for a sweet fix.

3 T. trans-fat-free peanut butter
1 packet Quaker "Lower Sugar" Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal
2 oz. skim milk
1 sc. vanilla or chocolate protein powder (vanilla for a stronger PB taste)

Mix oat packet and peanut butter into a "glob." (Oats need not be cooked.) Slowly add milk. Once all of the milk has been added, the concoction should be quite soupy. Slowly mix-in protein powder, and continue to stir until the texture is homogenous.

It's even better if you throw it in the freezer for a few minutes before consuming. Pop a few fish oil caps if you want to balance out the fatty acid ratio.

F - 26g / C - 26g / P - 34g

Terumo's Asian Tuna Burgers

This one is actually a spin-off of a Steve (John's little bro) Berardi recipe. For guys that don't like tuna, I assure you, this is much milder and all-around better. It more closely resembles crabcake than tuna.

4 - 6 oz cans chunk white tuna in water, drained
2 eggs, whisked
16 saltine crackers, crushed finely
1 tsp. Thai Kitchen green curry paste
1/2 tsp. chili oil
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt

Throughly mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Form six 1/2 - 3/4" thick patties, tightly packed. Dust a skillet with Smart Balance oil or cooking spray. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 minutes. Immediately transfer burgers to a large sheet of aluminum foil and cover while hot. This will allow them to "cook" some more with convection heat.

Each burger contains:

F - 6g / C - 5g / P - 24g

Terumo's Pseudo-Cheesecake

1 C. fat-free cottage cheese
1 sc. of a casein-based, vanilla protein powder (Metabolic Drive or MuscleMilk)
0.5 tsp. vanilla extract
0.5 C. low-fat granola, Grape Nuts, or All-Bran

First, mix protein powder and vanillainto cottage cheese. It really needs to be a casein-based powder, as the casein in the protein and the isolated casein in the cottage cheese will congeal--100% whey will not be tasty. After that, mix in your "fake crust" of choice. I prefer the granola. This is tasty stuff and absurdly filling.

F - 2g / C - 28g / P - 44g (Fat content subject to change if using MuscleMilk)

Terumo's Hot Chocolate

This is the candy-ass recipe of the bunch, but it is good for a sweet option. I'm almost never big on sweets, but when a craving hits, it hits hard.

1/2 C. unsweetened, Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 C. Splenda
4 C. Hood low-carb 2% milk
1 oz. cold water

While bringing milk to just below a boil, mix Splenda, cocoa, and water into a thick paste. Add paste to milk and mix in with a whisk over low-medium heat.

This will make two 16 oz. servings which contain:

F- 10g / C- 5g / P- 24g (Impressive, huh?)

Terumo's Cinnamon Mocha

Lot's of protein in this one. Great for sipping throughout the morning.

16 oz. skim milk
2 T. instant coffee
3 sc. chocolate protein powder (Metabolic Drive or EvoPro recommended)
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 ice cubes

Blend in a blender. Drink it out of the blender pitcher at work to feel manly. If you happen to be bulking, substitute half of the skim milk with coconut milk.

Regular shake: F - 3g / C - 28g / P - 76g
Coconut, bulking variety: F - 45g / C - 25g / P - 70g (That's almost 800 kCal in an easy-to-drink 16 ounces, you skinny bastard!)

Damn, man, that sounds like a kick-ass recipe. This one I'm trying for sure! 45g of fat from 8oz of coconut milk? Shee-it.
