Holy Protein! Fast, Easy and Low Calorie?!

February 12, 2017

How do you get creative with breakfast while making sure it’s high protein and low calorie?  Oh, and you’re tired of eggs?  Short on time too?  Not a problem!

All you need are three ingredients!  And a spoon of course 🙂

High Protein Yogurt!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup of light vanilla Greek yogurt (you can use plain for less calories, but its a little more tart)
  • 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein isolate
  • 1 Tbsp of PB2 (or you can use regular peanut butter for extra fat calories)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Scoop 1/2 cup yogurt into a bowl.
  2. Sprinkle about 1/2 of your whey protein scoop into your yogurt.  Mix until smooth.  Add next 1/2 and mix until smooth.
  3. Once smooth, mix PB2 in yogurt until smooth.

NUTRITION FACTS:

  • Total Calories: 187.5
  • Total Protein: 34.5 g
  • Total Carbohydrates:  9 g
  • Total Fat: 0.75 g

Now that is a lean breakfast!  It’s very light while you’re eating it, but after about 5 minutes, you feel FULL.  That is all 34.5 g of protein sticking to those ribs!

If you’re lifting, this is a great way to get extra protein in for muscle building without having to drink it all the time.  Anyone who uses protein supplements will tell you, I AM OVER DRINKING PROTEIN.  Also note- the photo includes steel cut oats sprinkled on top for a little crunch and extra carb.

You can also freeze this mixture to make a frozen yogurt!

I hope this recipe has been helpful.  Feel free to post questions in the comment section or share using the social media icons below!
