5 Easy Breakfast or Snack High Protein Ideas

Protein Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 1/2-1 cup unsweetened milk of choice (I use a 2 ingredient almond milk & if I use 1/2 cup milk, I add another half cup of water)
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choice (for me, this is usually chocolate…!)
  • 1/2 banana or 1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
  • 1 TBSP organic nut butter
  • Optional: hemp seeds, spinach, ground flax, cacao nibs

Blend until smooth!

 

Overnight Oats with Protein Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop of protein powder of choice
  • 1/2-1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)

Mix these ingredients the night before and refrigerate overnight. I like to use mason jars. In the morning, give it a stir and enjoy!  (I’ve got several more of these recipes in the recipe section)

 

Egg White Omelet with Cottage Cheese Ingredients:

  • 1 cup liquid egg whites

Start by cooking the egg whites in a non-stick pan and once they start to set, add the cottage cheese and other ingredients. Fold the omelet and cook until it’s fully set.
