Ryno Power Protein Pancakes
  • 1/2 cup Pamela’s Baking Mix
  • 1 cup GF oats
  • 1/2-cup non-fat powdered milk
  • 2 cups Ryno Power Protein Powder
  • 2 tbsps baking powder
  • 2 tbsps ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups egg substitute (whites)
  • 3 cups water or coconut milk
  • 3 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 oz nuts (if desired)

How to Make Mix

Grind oats in a food processor. Measure all dry ingredients into an airtight container, shake or whisk until well combined.

Combine egg substitute, vanilla and the coconut milk or water. Allow to stand at room temperature for 10-20 minutes. Wipe an 8 to 10 inch non-stick skillet with a very thin coat of vegetable or grape seed oil.

Heat pan to medium/medium high heat. Add pancake mix to egg mixture and gently combine. You may need a bit more water or coconut milk, as the protein powder may absorb more liquid. Don't mix too vigorously or you'll have a dense, flat pancake. Add more water if necessary to make a medium batter. (The thinner the batter the thinner and more dense the pancake will be. I prefer to keep the batter as thick as possible, so it just barely pours out of the cup. )

Fold in nuts and immediately pour into hot pan, cook until brown on one side, flip and cook until browned on the second side. Serve with Agave nectar or organic maple syrup.

Serves 6

Almond Butter

Step 1: Toast the Almonds. Amount to use will depend upon the quantity of almond butter desired.

Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor. It is not required, but will enhance the flavor of your almond butter. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and toast the almonds in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Remove the almonds from the oven when they start to change color. Allow the almonds to cool to the touch.

Step 2: Grind the Almonds

Now that your almonds are toasted, it is time to grind them into butter. Start your food processor on high speed and slowly add the almonds through the food processor shoot. The mix will be dry and dusty, but continue processing the almonds until the oils release from the nuts and the almond butter becomes smooth and creamy, this can take up to 10 minutes. You will know the oils are beginning to release when the mixture starts to change from a dry, crumbly mixture to a smoother, creamier mixture. Use a spatula to scrape clumps off the sides of the food processor as necessary. Add salt, if desired, to taste. Scrape the almond butter out of the food processor with a spatula. Store uneaten almond butter in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Ryno’s Favorite Ten-Minute Dinner
  • 1 lb. chicken tenders, fresh
  • 8-12oz of vegetables (Your choice, see below)
  • ½ Med Onion
  • 1 tbsp of grape seed or olive oil
  • Sea Salt

For a vegetable of choice: This can be the pre-packaged, pre-cut 8 oz pkg of vegetable of your choice. We like Henry’s pre-cut and packaged vegetables for ease of a meal, but usually prefer to cut and use our own vegetables we have at home. You can use anything, be it squash, broccoli, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes (careful not to eat too many times a week, as these are starchy!), asparagus, onions, garlic, etc. Experiment and see what comes out best! Rule of thumb is to use whatever vegetable you enjoy, add the meat, onion, oil and salt to the pan and WA’ la! Instantly, something that tastes good and is good for you!

You will want to cook this on low/med for about 20-30 minutes with the lid on, but prep takes a maximum of ten minutes! Less if you buy pre-cut veggies!

Make sure your chicken has thoroughly cooked and is no longer pink in the middle, once it is done, serve and enjoy! Your vegetables should be tender/slightly crisp, depending upon what you used.

13 Bean Crock-Pot Chili

(This recipe requires the beans to be soaked overnight, so you must prepare for this one!)

  • 2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill 13 Bean Soup Mix
  • 1 lb ground beef, free range and organic, if possible
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1-14.5oz can diced tomatoes
  • *1 cup of water
  • *1-2 tbsp tomato paste
  • *Can substitute 1-8oz can of tomato sauce if preferred
  • 1-2 tbsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Wash 2 cups of the Bob’s Red Mill Soup Mix, then cover the beans with water in a bowl and soak overnight to soften (Soaking beans overnight actually begins bean germination and promotes enzyme release. The germination process is what breaks down all the complex bean sugars. Breaking down the complex sugar is a good thing as this is what gives us gas. Apparently, soaking beans overnight can reduce complex sugars by up to 60 percent. I usually use this method of soaking dried beans with exceptional results – no gastrointestinal gas.

In the morning, drain and rinse the beans. Place beans into a 5-6 qt crock-pot. Then add the remaining ingredients, stirring to mix. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, or until beans are tender.

Serve with a garnish of Colby Jack cheese, either organic or vegan and a dollop of organic sour cream. Enjoy!
