      10 Quick High Protein Recipes

    • The importance of a healthy breakfast couldn't be more emphasised. 

      While potato chips, soda, and cookies may seem like a quick fix for hunger, but when you are close to your kitchen full of delicious and nourishing secrets, why look for shortcuts? 

      Mindlessly eating junk food throughout the day may leave you feeling sluggish and even hungrier later. Rather than eating greasy, artificially sweetened food, choose something that will make you feel energised and alive such as high-protein snacks.

      Make sure that your morning meal contains lots of protein. You will give yourself an extra rush of nutrients by eating protein first thing in the morning, which will keep you full, happy, and energised all day.

      Here are some quick, easy, delicious, and healthy breakfast recipes to have a nutritious morning!

      1. Yoghurt and Granola

      Yoghurt and granola is a healthy and quick breakfast that is a good source of calcium, protein and fibre. It provides good bacteria and improves your sleep quality. 

      Top a bowl of Greek yoghurt with a tiny handful of granola berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder to strengthen the antioxidant qualities. 

      To give some crunch, add some seeds like pumpkin seeds or nuts.

      2. Energy Balls

       

      These energy balls are simple & quick to prepare and nutritious enough to serve as breakfast. To give the balls a crunch, you can toast the oats.

      Ingredients

      Measurement

      Rolled oats

      1 ½ cup

      Peanut butter (natural)

      1 cup

      Honey 

      1 Tablespoon

      Chocolate protein powder

      2 Scoops (approximately 50-60 grams)

      Instruction

      • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, and chocolate chips.
      • It takes a little arm muscle to get the mixture to blend, and it may appear overly thick at first, but keep mixing, and it will come together.
      • Use a tiny cookie scoop & mould the mixture into balls once it's all incorporated.
      • Refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container.

      3. Chia Pudding 

      After Alia Bhatt posted this quick and nutritious meal online as part of her daily nutrition routine, it has become one of the most popular recipes. It is undoubtedly a fantastic snack choice high in protein and fibre.

      Instructions

      • Combine chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using) in a bowl or mason jar. 
      • If using a mason jar, cover it with the lid and shake it to blend the ingredients.
      • Once the chia pudding mixture is thoroughly blended, leave it aside for 5 minutes, then stir or shake it again to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover, and chill for 1-2 hours or overnight to set. 
      • Chia pudding should be thick and not runny. If it's not thick enough, add another tablespoon of chia seeds, stir, and chill for another 30 minutes.
