Protein Cream of Wheat

  This recipe actually works really well if you want to make it the night before. You can reheat it, or you can just eat it cold (which is actually how I like to eat it, because I’m down with the #strangebutgood). It’s so simple, but #satisfactionfactor10. Protein Cream of Wheat What you need: 1 packet of the…

Bia Bar Review! {ToL #1}

Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post (I actually have not yet had an opportunity to write one—if you are interested, let me know). I received a box of Bia Bars from the company, however it was not connected in any way to my decision to write this post. (See below for full details). I…

1 Minute Protein Breakfast Cake

Topped with berries An easy breakfast recipe that you can make quickly when needed in the morning. It also keeps well in the refrigerator, so you can even ahead of time if you want to. It tastes so good, it really qualifies for dessert, but its macros make it an ideal pre-workout breakfast! Topped with banana coins, PB2, and…

“Clutch” Banana Muffin Tops

I seriously cannot say enough about Clutch Bodyshop‘s Baking Mix! It’s a vegetarian/vegan friendly protein mix that you can use for waffles, pancakes, shakes, baking, raw recipes, and more. The taste is crazy good. It is naturally sweetened with stevia, so for those who prefer natural products, that’s another bonus. You’d never know from the way they…

Cottage Cheese Waldorf

So I’ve been MIA. We recently bought a house and are still in the move-in phase. Combine that with an hour commute each way to work, trying to maintain consistency with my workouts (before going to work), keeping on track with meal prep, and attempting some form of social life doesn’t leave a lot of time for blogging. I will do what…

Green Pancakes {High Protein}

I love that this recipe only requires a blender to prepare the batter! I am all about saving time when making meals. These pancakes are great to make ahead and freeze for a healthy breakfast on the run during the week. I often make a batch on weekends and pre-bag them into servings for for my husband to grab…

Double Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownies!

Once upon a time, there was a recipe. I decided to play around with it (go figure). It’s not that it wasn’t good; I was just inspired to take it in a different direction. Fast forward a bit. One idea led to another…and to multiple experiments. #Recipe rabbit trail. This is one of those recipe…

Pumped-Up Hummus (#StrangeButGood)

I am always looking for a way to get the most out of my time spent in meal prep. If I can prep one item and meet two needs, it is a real time saver! I came up with the idea for this recipe in an effort to give my hummus an extra “boost” of protein….

Easy PB2 Cheesecakes (High Protein + Low Calorie)

Holiday treats can be difficult to resist. Don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate of an occasional planned indulgence. The holidays are a time when favorite family recipes make it worth the splurge or two. But between family, work, and friends, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s meals add up. You can easily get…

“Celestial” Spiced Apple Cider PROatmeal

I don’t usually get to eat “real” breakfasts(i.e. warm and involved) during the week. My typical weekday breakfast consists of a protein shake and another homemade protein muffin, bar, etc. That way, I can eat quickly before and after my workouts and still suit my macro needs. That being said, on the weekends, I usually…
