This recipe was published on the HCG Difference Facebook page. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm excited to give it a go!

Ingredients:

• 1 Box Chopped Spinach ~ squeezed dry
• 8 eggs (can substitute more egg whites if egg yolks cause stall)
• 3 Tbls Fat Free Cocoa
• 2/3 cup Almond Flour or ~ Coconut or Quinoa Flour for Phase 2 (VLCD)
• Stevia to taste
• Peppermint oil/extract, or other flavoring (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix spinach and eggs in bowl.
2. Mix Cocoa powder and Flour in separate bowl.
3. Combine dry ingredients with spinach and eggs mixture.
4. Add Stevia and Peppermint oil/extract (or other flavoring)
5. Bake in a 9x13 non-stick baking dish. (Lightly greased if Phase 3- Maintenance)
6. Bake at 300 degrees until firm to touch.
7. Cool and cut into small squares and refrigerate.

Phase 2 ~Approx 1/4th of a 9x13 pan is equivalent to 1 protein and a vegetable.
