What is a “HACK”

A hack is when you take a fueling; example the Optavia oatmeal, swirl cake and sweet potato fueling’s and change it into a scone. When you do a hack you may be using some of you lean and green; some of your protein ; green; condiments or a healthy fat. The breakdown will always let you know what you are using and how many servings. Remember when doing a hack if it using some of your lean and green; you need to subtract that from your remaining lean and green later.

The pumpkin scone hack is a perfect example.

pumpkin scone

 

4 servings

Each serving provides
1 fueling
2 condiments
3/4 healthy fat

1 cinnamon swirl cake fueling packet
2 maple brown sugar oatmeal packets
1 sweet potato fueling
2 Tablespoons canned pumpkin purée
2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
2 packets stevia
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoons frozen butter
3 Tablespoons egg whites
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 Tablespoon low fat plain Greek yogurt

Preheat oven to 350
Add all the fueling’s, flaxseed, stevia, and baking powder to a food processor and pulse till well combined. Add frozen butter till mixture resembles a course meal.( Rice size butter should remain; this gives the scone structure) Add the egg whites, pumpkin purée, yogurt and pumpkin pie spice and pulse until dough just comes together. Dough will be sticky. Form dough into a six- inch circle onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. Once cooled cut into 4 equal portions. I personally think these are best warmed with my morning coffee.
