7 Ways to Eat Meat and Stay Healthy

Lots of heart-conscious consumers and waist watchers have recently rehabbed their steak knives, having found that -- hang onto your knife sharpener -- eating a little red meat doesn't necessarily put you on the fast track to Fat Central. It's not the meat itself; it's the aging, artery-clogging, cholesterol-soaring, saturated fat in meat that you want to minimize. Here's how:

Recipe : Chocolate Banana Coconut Protein Smoothie

Whip up this quick protein smoothie for a quick hit of 30g of protein. Great for building lean muscle and keeping you satiated until your next meal.

Recipe : Espresso & Vanilla Milkshake

This milkshake is packed with 26g of protein and is low in calories (75 to be exact!), you woll satisfied and full. This recipe required use of tofu, but I promise you won’t taste it. Does tofu even taste?! Anyway, just enjoy the creamy texture, zero sugar and much-needed caffeine for a breakfast on-the-go, or as post-workout re-fuel for those tired muscles. INGREDIENTS: ½ pack silken tofu* 1 shot espresso (or 1 tsp coffee granules in 1/8 cup hot water) ½  tsp pure vanilla 1 cup water ½  tsp Natvia (stevia) or ½  raw honey (if you like it sweet) METHOD: Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend it until smooth. Serve in a cold glass, with a few ice cubes if desired. Tips: *Don’t sub the silken tofu with hard tofu – you’ll end up with a very lumpy milkshake! If you can handle dairy, try adding plain Greek Yoghurt instead of tofu.
