Protein is necessary for our bodies to function properly as it's an important building block of our bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. It can often be hard to get the adequate amounts we need so I'm sharing a few of my favorite way's to get my daily protein in. All of which can be easy on-the-go and take less than 10 minutes~
Protein shake
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein, 1/2 Banana, 1/2 Cup Soy Milk, and Scoop of ice cubes. Can double banana and milk for bigger shake. I normally drink one after a workout or as a snack!
Protein Pancakes
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein powder, 1 egg, and 1/2 Banana. Mashed together then cooked in pan and I like to top with metled peanut butter. This makes about 3-4 small pancakes. These are super easy and take less than 10 minutes to make!Overnight Oats
1/2 Cup Rolled Oats, 1 Scoop Protein, and 1/2 of almond milk. Leave it in the fridge over night (add toppings after), then grab and go in the morning for breakfast or a later day snack!
Here are some other ideas that don't require cooking.
Protein bars
They are so yummy and perfect on the go snacks but be careful because some have high amounts of carbs and only a few grams of protein.
My favorite ones which have 12g or more of protein and moderate grams of carbs are Chocolate Chip Cookie dough Luna Bar, Oatmeal Cookie Quest Bar, or Cookie Dough Quest Bar but there are so many other options too!
Siggi's Yogurt
This is a super easy breakfast option with 14g or more of protein which can also be topped with fruits and honey!
Premier Protein
Another quick and easy shake with 30g of protein in every flavor! Drink as is or blend it with some fruit and ice!
