Here's an idea for a yummy breakfast or midday snack with over 15 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. The Nutrition Facts posted include a medium sized Fuji apple.
Almond Butter Apple Dip
1/2 Cup Fage 0% Total Plain Greek Yogurt1Tbsp Almond Butter
Cinnamon to your liking
1 apple
Enjoy :)
You can add bit of honey or other sweetener if you need, but the sweetness of the apple should be enough!
Do you have any other delicious, sustainable dips you like?? Please post!!
Mmm! Looks delish! I'm trying this tomorrow. What are some other great ways to get lean protein in the morning? I feel like I'm narrowed to peanut butter with oatmeal or eggs with wheat toast. What are other "breakfast-y" proteins?
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! If you have protein powder, putting a scoop in your oatmeal works great! Vanilla protein with cinnamon and some almond milk tastes absolutely amazing. I've also experimented with some wholesome baked goods that I add whey protein powder to that taste pretty good! I'll post them tomorrow. In the mean time, here are a few other options:
ReplyDeleteCottage Cheese with some fruit
Egg white frittatas (pretty easy...you just cook whatever vegetables you want in a skillet, add your egg whites, and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes)
Adding some cottage cheese to your scrambled eggs is a tasty little mix up too!
Hemp Hearts are an amazing super food I have just recently found and started using. They kind of look like Quinoa, but have a bit more of a nutty texture. You can sprinkle them on cereal, yogurt, smoothies, etc. They have 10 grams of protein in only 3 Tablespoons!! They are also rich in Omega 3 and 6, important in preventing heart disease :) I just bought mine at Costco.
