Low carb chocolate peanut butter and avocado shake

This low carb creamy chocolate shake gets its creaminess from avocado.  Who knew you could mix avocado with chocolate?  Its so good, you can't taste the avocado, it just enhances the rich chocolate taste.  I used to mix a banana in my shakes to get the creaminess but since going low carb I have given up bananas, and have been missing it in my protein shakes, they just were not tasting the same.  Only 7.3 net carbs for a huge chocolate shake.  Half of an haas avocado only has 1.3 net carbs according to the Atkins website.  Even with the low carb count of the avocado I have read that eating them on low carb diets can stall some peoples weight loss results.  So far for me they have not caused any problem with weight loss, but I do not eat them everyday.
Ingredients:
1 Scoop GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 Original Chocolate-2 Carbs
1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter-3 Carbs
1 Cup unsweetened almond milk-1Carb
1/2 haas avocado-1.3 carbs
7.3 Carbs for a very satisfying protein packed chocolate shake.  Depending on brands you buy carb count could be different.

Low carb cloud bread

I started a low carb diet almost a week ago now.  With a low carb diet you have to give up bread until now.  Well its not quite like real bread but its a nice alternative when eating low carb.  Best thing about this bread is it only takes 3 ingredients and its really easy to make.

 
 
 
 


What you need,
-3 oz. cream cheese
-3 eggs
-1/8 tsp. cream of tarter.
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Separate your egg whites from the yolks, in two separate bowls.  Add your cold cream cheese to the yolks and with a mixer, beat the two together.  Add your cream of tarter to the egg whites and mix with a mixer until stiff peaks form.  Gently fold the two together.  On a cookie sheet drop dollops of the mixture to form circles. Bake for 10-15 minutes until done.  Let cool before removing from cookie sheet.
