I found this low fat coconut cream pie recipe:

Ingredients:
1 large package instant coconut cream pudding mix
2 3/4 cups skim milk
1 (9") reduced fat graham cracker pie crust

Directions:
In medium bowl, combine pudding mix and milk; mix until smooth. Pour into pie crust.
Chill for 1 hour.

The question might be silly but do I have to bake the crust or could I eat it as it comes?

Also, anyone knows if it would be ok to use some protein powder to the mix to add some protein to this recipe?

Thanks

I think we posted at the same time!!

If you buy a ready made crust then no, you don't have to bake it....and buy the Instant pudding mix so it will "set" properly.....

And I don't see why you couldn't add protein mix to the pie.....I've made pudding before with protein powder in it - so why not??

Got it!!! Thanks a bunch.

It feels that I collected a great deal of recipes.

I am looking for a healthy and easy cinammon roll recipe. I love cinammon rolls but I think it would be hard to find such a recipe for bodybuilders.

If anyone has one and would like to share that would be awesome!!!

Pillsbury now makes Cinnamon rolls in the tube in Low fat, Fat Free & Sugar Free versions - all pretty tasty.....what's hard is to not eat ALL of them!!

Also you could spread a Low Carb/WW tortilla with margarine/butter, sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar/Splenda, etc and warm in a toaster oven.....

If you feel like baking.....

Easy Cinnamon Rolls

1 pound loaf of frozen bread dough thawed
2 tablespoons melted low/nonfat margarine
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon skim milk

Roll out dough on lightly flowered surface, brush with low/nonfat margarine, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll and cut into 20 slices. Place rolls in two 8" round cake pans, cover, and let rise for approximately 2 hours. Pour evaporated milk over rolls. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Combine powdered sugar and milk and drizzle over warm rolls.

Wow, that is awesome. It looks so yummy. Thanks a bunch.

Do you know if the 2/3 cup of brown sugar could be substituted for 2/3 cup of splenda? And can the powdered sugar be also substituted for splenda? I have no much idea about these things that's why I ask. I would like to make it as healthy as possible but obviously I want for it to taste good too

Thanks so so much!!

Powdered sugar is NOT a substitute for regular, granulated sugar....Powdered (10X) sugar is used for icings, frostings, etc....

Granulated sugar = Splenda or splenda/sugar
Brown Sugar = Splenda makes a brown sugar blend....

I see what you mean. I just found these possible substitutes for both brown sugar and powdered sugar online http://wheylow.com/products.htm

Would they be a lot more healthy to use from a bodybuilding/fitness point of view or would they not make much of a difference?

Thanks

Never had that before....but try it....

Yes, it feels that it might be a good option, more healthy though I wonder if it would be worth spending the extra money!!!
