Ryno Power Protein Powder & Cereal

  • 1 scoops Ryno Power Vanilla Protein
  • 8oz water
  • 1 cup of your favorite cereal (We like to use multi-grain cheerios)

1. Mix your vanilla protein powder and water together until smooth.
2. Pour over your bowl of cereal (instead of using milk).


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.

Avocado and Egg
Heat a non-stick skillet to medium low heat. Lightly spray with olive oil. Slice an avocado with the skin ON lengthwise, forming one thick slice in the middle (you will have leftovers!).

Cover and cook for a minute or two, until the egg is as you like it. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Chris’ 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.
