High Protein Yogurt + Waffle Bowl
You know what they say … eat meat in moderation to curb the cholesterol. But how do we get protein into our diet in high enough amounts to build muscle from those workouts?
Plus, higher muscle mass equals higher metabolic rate, which is really one of the most sustainable (and in the long term - easier ways) of being able to eat more and not gain weight!
Enter supplements. I prefer getting my nutrients from straight food…but sometimes, we all need a little help, right? This unflavored collagen powder became really popular as a collagen supplement (hair, nails, skin, etc) but it actually has a good amount of protein in it! And it’s pretty dissolvable. I use it often in my matcha tea to help supplement protein intake in the morning, but in this breakfast - I just add it straight to the yogurt and stir it so it’s fully blended. Pair with some of my Paleo Nutty “Oats” and a Wintry Spiced Waffle, and bam. You have a delicious, tasty, high protein breakfast - without the high cholesterol.
Active Time: 5 mins Yields: 1 serving
Per Serving: 422 cal 31 g protein 24 g fat 22 g carbs
Ingredients:
100 g (about 1/2 cup) organic, dairy free yogurt (my absolute favorite is Pillars Vanilla Coconut Yogurt, but I’ve also used Trader Joe’s Cashew Vanilla Yogurt - both organic and about as Paleo as you can get)
2 scoops of Vital Protein Collagen Peptides
1 serving (1/8 cup) of Paleo Nutty “Oats”
Directions:
1. Place your waffle in the toaster to get it all warm and crisp.
2. Meanwhile, measure out your yogurt for the best accuracy.
3. Add the protein collagen and stir thoroughly with a spoon. It shouldn’t take long to dissolve into the yogurt!
4. Add 2 tbsp of the nutty “oats,” then add your waffle and - enjoy!
