Enjoying Food: Macro-Friendly Cheetos

8/10/2017

HEALTHY CHEETOS, WHAT!??! Yes, this is a real thing! They are so easy to make with just 3 simple ingredients. Plus, the serving size is this entire massive bowl!! It really doesn't get better than that. ;)
MACRO-FRIENDLY CHEETOS
212kcal: 10F/15C/28P (for entire recipe!)

Ingredients:
- 6 room temperature egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 36g cheddar cheese powder (I used Hoosier Hill Farms brand from amazon)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Make sure eggs sit out for a few hours so they are at room temperature before starting. Separate yolks from whites and place whites in mixing bowl (kitchen aid is perfect for this).
3. Add cream of tartar to whites and blend with whisk attachment on highest setting for 2-3 minutes until egg whites become stiff and peaks form (similar to the Angel Foodcake recipe).
4. Place a generous amount of cheddar cheese powder in a large bowl; you'll want to use more than 36g as this is the amount that actually sticks to the egg whites.
5. Using a piping bag with a large circular tip, pipe long, cylindrical "cheeto" shaped stiffened egg whites onto the cheese powder. Depending on how big the bowl is, you could probably do 2-3 at a time.
6. Using a spoon, lightly toss extra cheese powder on top of each cheeto so that all surface area is completely covered. TIP: use the negative function on the food scale if you are wanting to keep track of the actual amount of cheese powder used for your recipe; mine ended up being 36g.
7. Gently transfer each cheeto onto a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with 0cal nonstick spray.
8. Bake for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Make SURE to eat these when they are fresh out of the oven!! They definitely are not as tasty when cold in my opinion. If you are wanting to save some for later, keep covered and refrigerated.

Also, if you are wanting some more fun macro-friendly recipes by me, check out the other recipes on my blog as well as AvatarNutrition.com, where I've written almost 300 of them!!

Stay cheesy my friends!!

Hey friends! Happy August, can you believe it?! Weeks 7 and 8 on my reverse diet with Avatar Nutrition went smoothly and my weight seems to be stallin' out for now. It would be great if it could stay like that but I won't get my hopes up. :P

In other news, last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting an IG friend that I've had for 3 years now but have never met in person. She came to visit me in Nashville and we had a blast! As much as instagram can be annoying at times, I would say the good outweighs the bad by far. I have been able to connect with so many awesome, like-minded people online -- aka YOU reading this! I hope one day I can hug every person who takes the time to read my blog!

​Hope you all have a great week, I've got lots of cool stuff coming up on here so stay tuned! :)

Much love,
