My workout routine has been pretty consistent for several years now. I work out four to five times per week. I do a mix of cardio, weightlifting, and hot yoga. With spring on the rise, I will be turning my attention back to outdoor running. The winter has been so cold and harsh here in Kansas City! I cannot wait to get back into my outdoor running schedule.

I am a morning person. I function so much better in the wee hours of the morning than I do at night. Morning workouts are so much better for me. I typically work out at 5:30 AM for 45 minutes to an hour. Those morning workouts leave me starving! A nutritious post-workout breakfast with a lot of protein is crucial.

Savory Bacon Mushroom Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl

Savory Bacon Mushroom Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl is the perfect way to change the typical outlook we all have on oatmeal. We are constantly seeing different ways to prepare oatmeal. There are lots of recipes that add chia seeds, flax seed, fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, and much more. I work out most mornings. I eat breakfast after my workout. Lots of protein for breakfast is usually key for me. Typically, oatmeal is not the best option for me.

While adding fruit to oatmeal is very tasty, it also adds sugar and carbs with no added protein benefit. Hence, the idea of savory oatmeal and this recipe! This recipe changed the game for me. It allows me to add oatmeal back into my morning routine but also gives me the protein I need post workout.

I used Trader Joe’s Uncured, Nitrate-Free bacon for this recipe. It is my personal favorite. Nitrates are found in most bacon, deli meats, and more. There is a lot of research that indicates nitrates are not good for our bodies and may contribute to cancer. I generally prefer regular bacon to turkey bacon because only 1 gram of fat is eliminated per 2 slices of turkey bacon with the switch. For me personally, this benefit is not meaningful, especially with the availability of a nitrate-free option. Feel free to use what you wish.

peanut butter dark chocolate chip protein cookies

Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

Dairy-Free Paleo Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies? Yes, please! A couple of weeks ago I tested my recipe for Almond Butter Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins. These were a pretty big hit for my site and among friends as well. I am still determined not to waste leftover food from recipes. The dark chocolate chips from that recipe came in handy while brainstorming ideas for these cookies. I also used coconut sugar for this recipe. I have not used this sugar since I made my Strawberry Greek Yogurt Bites. EEEK! I do not want to admit how long ago I made those. Hint, I made the bites, and celebrated the Chiefs first season home-game win last fall, immediately after.

It is very important to use NATURAL peanut butter if you would like the recipe to remain healthy. Regular peanut butter typically has added sugar and salt. I look for peanut butter that has one ingredient, PEANUTS. 

I opted for coconut sugar vs regular sugar because organic palm coconut sugar is 3-5% fructose. Regular table sugar is 70-70% fructose. We see reports all of the time on how unhealthy fructose can be. I always opt to lower my intake, when possible.

Easy Low-Carb Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Protein Waffles

I have gotten into a habit of eating the same thing each day for breakfast. It is usually peanut butter toast. Because I work in a corporate environment, this choice is EASY! Every Monday I haul in a loaf of 100% whole wheat bread. And I go through a container of natural peanut butter every few weeks. My routine is dying for a makeover! Since I work out a lot of mornings, it could use a boost of protein, too!

I have been trying to figure out ways to cut down on my dairy consumption. Don’t fret! I am not going vegan or totally dairy-free! You will continue to find recipes with dairy on this blog. However, making small changes in some areas can only help me, not hurt. I saw the vegan version of I Can’t Believe It’s Not butter online. I used it with this recipe. I loved it. I will definitely use it again with other creations.

If you have never eaten food cooked with protein powder, these waffles may be an adjustment for you. Adding protein to the batter does create a texture that tastes thicker than a normal waffle. Having the icing in this recipes really goes a long way. It keeps the waffles from tasting dry.  

Easy Low-Carb Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Protein Waffles

I plan to meal prep a couple of batches of these waffles in the New Year. I would like to freeze them in Ziploc bags so that I can simply grab them and go each morning. The extra boost of protein in the mornings will be a great way to kick off the New Year!

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons coconut flour Use a sifter or strainer to sift the flour in a bowl. The flour will be lumpy if you skip this step.
  • 1 scoop protein powder Use vegan or paleo friendly if desired
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp almond milk The amount of milk you will need will vary based on the protein powder that you use. Some brands are thicker than others. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and then add more to make the mixture form into a batter.
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder Use vegan or paleo friendly if desired
  • cooking spray

Frosting

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Vegan
  • 1-2 tsp almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons protein powder

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another.

  2. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir and mix well.

  3. Turn on the waffle iron. When the iron indicates it is ready, spray it with cooking spray.

  4. Add the half of the batter to the iron for the first waffle. Pay close attention to adding the batter to the edges of the iron first. This will help ensure the waffles turn out full.

  5. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown. Most irons have an indicator light for when the waffles are finished.

  6. Combine all of the ingredients for the icing in a bowl. Stir until medium-thick. Add additional milk if you need to thin out the icing. If you wish to thicken it up, add a little more protein powder.

  7. Remove the waffles from the iron and serve with the icing.

I need to switch up my breakfast routine so I came up with almond butter protein muffins. I recently started a new job and things get really hectic with my work day bright and early. I get into work right after my morning workouts. A lot of times, meetings pop up on my calendar within thirty minutes of my usual arrival time. I need a convenient breakfast I can scarf down quickly that is also high in protein to help support my post-workout state. These muffins help accomplish those needs. Worst case scenario, I can grab a few muffins and eat them on my drive from the gym into work each morning.

I am not a huge fan of chocolate, but I do enjoy DARK chocolate. I used dark chocolate chips. Dark chocolate has many health benefits. I suffer from migraines from time to time. There is evidence dark chocolate can help alleviate migraines. Dark chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa powder than milk or white chocolate, thus dark chocolate also has more caffeine. Caffeine can help restrict blood flow to the head and help relieve pressure from migraines and other headaches.

Dark chocolate has also been proven to help lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and is rich in antioxidants.

Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Protein Muffins

Dairy-free lemon blueberry protein muffins are a quick and easy approach to increased protein consumption. For this recipe, I opted to use a plant-based protein vs. using whey protein. All of the other ingredients exclude dairy, so using plant-based protein helped to keep the entire recipe dairy free.

I’ve made blueberry protein muffins in the past. They were ok, but not great. Adding lemon extract to the recipe gave it a lot of zest! These muffins are incredible. They are very easy for meal prep use. I packed a couple in a Ziplock bag and stored them in my refrigerator for the week. Each morning I would grab a bag and go.

And Almond Butter Berry Power Protein Smoothie Bowl is in order because yesterday I made a  Strawberry Mango Power Protein Smoothie Bowl. It was sooooooo good that I had to come up with another recipe, an almond butter berry protein smoothie bowl. In the past I made protein smoothies regularly. One of my favorites was a strawberry and peanut butter combination. I decided to try something similar with almond butter. I am so glad I did! This smoothie bowl was amazing. I definitely plan to add this bowl to my meal prep breakfast routine for this week.

Keep in mind this recipe is high in fat due to monounsaturated fat found in the almond butter and pecans. Monounsaturated fats are the GOOD FATS with a lot of associated health benefits.

Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Energy Protein Balls

Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Protein Energy Balls are one of my new favorites for breakfast and snacks. Over the years I’ve tried a lot of protein bars, cookies, etc. I have a few favorites, but I still believe prepping my own is the best way to go. It allows me to have control over the ingredients and the macros. Store bought bars are usually loaded with a ton of added sugar. It can sometimes also be difficult to find alternatives that are free of dairy.

Note: Use plant-based protein vs whey if you would like a dairy-free alternative.

I’m a huge fan of the Quest Peanut Butter Protein Powder. It works great for cooking. These balls are perfect for meal prep. I pack them in small Ziploc bags and grab a couple for a work each day. This is also a no-bake recipe which is a major win for me. This helps cut down on prep time and perfect for summer. I usually hate when I have to use my oven in the summer.

I had so much fun making these peanut butter banana protein energy balls using Crispy Green products. Crispy Green products are freeze-dried and 100% fruit. Literally, that is it. There are no additives and the products are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and kosher.

I am always on the hunt for new breakfast recipes. I tend to eat the same thing for breakfast each day. It should come as no surprise that I occasionally get burned out on eating the same thing over and over. This recipe is a major win because not only does it work great for breakfast, but it is a great pre or post workout snack. I usually complete my workouts in the morning. I shower and then drive into work. My commute is about 30 minutes. I am usually dying to eat something during this time. By the time I complete my workout, shower, commute to work, and then finally get settled, almost two hours have passed. 

 

peanut butter banana protein energy balls

These energy balls travel well so they are perfect to eat on-the-go. I placed the balls in a small Ziploc bag in the refrigerator. Over time, the balls will soften at room temperature. If you plan to have the energy balls sitting out for an extended period of time you should consider freezing them advance.

I LOVE fruit, but it is not always convenient for busy lifestyles. You have to wash it. Who has access to a sink when you are on-the-go? Crispy Green is the perfect cure. The freeze dried fruit at Crispy Green retains most of the ingredients you would receive from fresh fruit and can fit easily in a purse or gym bag.

Be sure to use plant-based protein if you are looking for a complete dairy-free option.
