Recipe Guide! We’ve assembled recipes
submitted by our fans from all across the
country. We’re delighted to share them with you here.
At Smart Baking, we’ve learned that “ME:30” happens at
a different time for everyone. It might be 3:00pm for you
once you’ve finished your afternoon meeting. Maybe it’s
9:15am after you have the kids off to school. Whatever
the time, you set aside five minutes “just for you” and
you indulge in a delicious, guilt-free treat. We invite you
to try these wonderful recipes and feel free to send us
your original ideas to be included in our 2021 Recipe Book
available next year. Tell us about your ME:30. Include an
ingredient list, preparation instructions and of course,
a large photograph of your finished creation.
Then send your creations to: [email protected].

Special Ingredients
WATER

A well hydrated body is 70% water. Smartcakes® and Smartbuns® also have
water as a key ingredient and not water laden with added chemicals. We
use nano filtering systems created by rocket scientists to ensure our water is
pure. Better water starts the process for better food. Smart Baking Company
partnered with Argonide to use the best water possible. Their Cool Blue® water
purifier incorporates three layers of technology to ensure the best tasting and
purest water we can use to add to the quality and taste of our products and the
nutritional value to you.

PROTEIN

Whey protein isolate is a highly refined, micro-filtered protein which is dairy

derived, but still considered lactose free. It is a complete, high-quality protein,
containing all of the essential amino acids. In addition, it is very digestible,
absorbed from the gut quickly compared to other types of protein.

Eggs are another source of protein in our products. Unlike most cereals and
yogurt, eggs only contain one ingredient – “eggs.” They don’t contain sugar or
carbs, just high quality protein.

What we all are told by diet books about protein being key to weight loss is
not only grounded in medical studies, it includes what we really need – to feel
satiated.

OLIVE OIL

Olive Oil is another ingredient that serves up good health. According to the
Mayo Clinic, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) the main type of fat found
in olive oil is considered a healthy dietary fat and may help lower your risk of
heart disease by improving related risk factors. For instance, MUFAs have been
found to lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
levels. In addition, some research shows that MUFAs may benefit insulin levels
and blood sugar control, which can be helpful if you have or are at risk of type 2
diabetes.

FLAX

Flax Meal is also a key ingredient in our products and contains Omega-3
essential fatty acids, the “good” fats that have been shown to have heart-
healthy effects. It is also rich in fiber as well as lignans, which have both plant
estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flaxseed contains 75 to 800 times more
lignans than other plant foods.
 What makes these
Ingredients so Special?
Let’s try shopping for them…
If the benefits of a Smartbun® were replicated in a shopping cart, with 10
grams of high-quality protein per bun, you would need:

3 ounces of pure, non-GMO protein

preferably one high in Omega 3 fats.

enough mixed vegetables to get 12 grams of insoluble fiber

1/2 of a banana for Potassium.

Do all of this without exceeding 63 calories.

Remember, what is not in your cart—sugar, starch or glutens!

Ingredients:
1/2 stick butter 1/8 cup lemon zest
1/4 cup of sugar-free sweetener 3 egg yolks
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1 two-pack of lemon Smartcakes®

whisk in the sweetener little by little. 3. Add lemon juice and lemon zest until dissolved

(But we can guarantee it will not last an entire week, if you love lemon curd like we do!)
6. Top your Smartcake® with the lemon curd! We have selected the Lemon Smartcakes®

sweetener to taste. 5. Layer Smartcake® squares on the bottom of an individual serving
glass, drizzle with the espresso. 6. Top with the filling. 7. Sprinkle with cocoa powder, or
