The EZ Whey Cookbook - Clean Eats That Taste Like Cheats

**SallyAnne** · 03-29-2010, 06:15 PM

I met Emily Zaler at the Phoenix Pro and was immediately impressed by both the shape she keeps herself in and her entrepreneurial spirit. Emily is the author of The EZ Whey Cookbook - Clean Eats That Taste Like Cheats, and she was at the Phoenix Pro to help promote her cookbook.

After suffering a knee injury that ended her career as a D1 collegiate soccer player, Emily set her sites on the fitness industry. She is a certified personal trainer, fitness model, figure athlete, and a Team SCI-Fit Athlete, as well as a full-time student at Arizona State University. Emily graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Wellness this spring at the age of 22.

How did Emily think of creating a cookbook that is not only healthy, but contest prep friendly?

"...While prepping for previous figure competitions, I started creating my own delicious recipes that were completely clean, as well as, prep friendly. Those recipes have now turned in to my clean eating cookbook; The EZ Whey - Clean Eats That Taste Like Cheats! The EZ Whey is spreading rapidly throughout the fitness industry and I am extremely excited to develop my brand, The EZ Whey, LLC over the next year. All recipes in the cookbook are easy to prepare and a huge improvement over the typical, boring flavors most people and recipes associate with the word diet. The factor that makes my book unique is that I actually cook with Whey Protein in the majority of my recipes. I have everything from breakfast to desserts and love experimenting with new recipes and “wheys” to make eating clean enjoyable for others!"

I have tested many of the recipes in her cookbook and they have all been delicious. I use Bob's Redmill Golden Flax meal rather than plain flax meal. All of golden flax meal's carbs are fiber, so have a zero carb count. You can buy golden flax meal online directly from Bob's Redmill. http://www.bobsredmill.com/

Golden flax meal also tastes much better than regular flax - almost like flour.
