Sticky Caribbean Salmon
for the marinade you need.
5 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger (wash it then you don't have to peel it)
3 tbsp grated or chopped fresh garlic
2 red Chili peppers thinly sliced (I take the seeds out by cutting the stem off then rolling the pepper between my fingers)
1 tsp salt (I use Pink Himalayan salt because it has 84 minerals and trace elements. table salt is refined and void of nutrients)
1 tsp all spice
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp Molasses (I use Organic Blackstrap Molasses because again it is a good source of vitamins and minerals)
1/2 tsp Angostura® aromatic bitters
1 tbsp Cointreau
Juice of 1 lime
1.5 lb Atlantic Salmon or whatever variety of salmon you can find
In a bowl combine all ingredients. allow to sit for 10 minutes to let the flavor mingle.
cut your salmon into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes add your marinade. let the salmon marinade for at least 1 hour but preferably over night. using a brush or spoon baste the salmon as it cooks. make sure to heat the grill and clean it well then turn it off use some cooking spray or some papertowl with oil on it to lube up your grill then turn the heat back on and add the fish. this will prevent your fish from sticking to the grill. cook until fish flakes. serve with lemon wedge and coconut refried beans
Serve with kicked up Coconut Caribbean Beans

Healthy Chocolate Banana Pudding
I have been working on making a diet dessert recipe for over a year. I have tried ice cream pancakes and lots of diferent puddings, they all ended up tasting like a scoop of coco and splenda. This chocolate pudding is low calorie, high protein, and actually taste good! I top mine off with nuts and add sliced bananas, but you could use any berries and something crunchy.
Mash two bananas until they are smooth
Add 1 cup greek yogurt
3 scoops of allmax all natural chocolate protein powder or your favorite chocolate protein powder, it's about 1 cup
4.5 tsp ground chia seeds (I used my blender)
2/3 can of coconut milk
2 tbsp honey
Blend your ingredients until they are smooth like Micheal Jackson. Place in a bowl and cover. Let it set over night. To serve slice a banana and make a layer then add a layer of pudding and so fourth. Add ground toasted nuts to the top. Don't overdue the nuts they are full of fat. And enjoy!
