Recipe: Mock Cinnamon Buns

Think putting yourself on a muscle building eating plan has to be a painful process? Whether your goal is fat loss or muscle building, getting proper nutrition is at least 80% of the game. If you don't have that figured out, you are going to be a long time away from seeing results.

The good news is that your tastebuds don't have to suffer if you don't want them to. There are plenty of ways to get in your proper nutrition while keeping things interesting. If you think gaining muscle means suffering through endless cans of tuna or pounding back protein shakes as fast as humanly possible, you need to think again.

Give this week's recipes a try. You'll be surprised just how easy it is to eat right, achieve your goals, and actually ENJOY your food at the same time.

Mock Cinnamon Buns

This probably won't taste exactly like a Cinnabon. It might just do the trick to quell your craving for something sweet and cinnamon tasting.
  • 6 whole omega-3 eggs
  • 1-2 packets Stevia
  • ½ Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (can use more if desired)
Optional:
  • almond milk
Crack eggs into a bowl. Add in one packet of Stevia along with vanilla extract. Whisk this together well. Place in the microwave for about 3.5 minutes, stirring half-way through. Once finished, let mixture sit for 1-2 minutes, then chop with a fork. Sprinkle on cinnamon and more sweetener until evenly distributed over eggs. Finally, drizzle with some almond milk, if desired.
