Great work. You can mix a scoop of natural Whey in to this after cooking to increase the protein per serving. Natural whey or unflavored whey is sweet so you may want to compensate with salt and pepper and spices to achieve your desired flavor. I would ad some more chilies the heat is good for your metabolism.
