Cookie Dough Protein Bars:
1.5 cup almond or oat flour
2 scoops Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder
2 tsp soft butter
4 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Small pinch of sea salt
1-2 tbsp milk of choice (slowly add this in! depending on texture/consistency!)
Handful of chocolate chips
Mix all wet ingredients together. Add in dry ingredients. Combine all ingredients and place in a rectangle glass Tupperware and place in fridge for 1-2 hours. Take out of fridge, cut into 6 servings and enjoy! Store in the fridge.
Protein Packed Banana Bread:
1.5 cups mashed overripe bananas
1 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp honey
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
1 cup vanilla protein powder
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
OPTIONAL: add chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, applesauce, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can result in a dense bread. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover the bread with a piece of aluminum foil halfway through.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

4 scoops chocolate protein powder, (approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons per scoop)
3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
2 apples
Granola (1 serving per container!)
Mix together all ingredients, then divide evenly in meal prep container with apples and granola. Store in the fridge for at least 2 hours before enjoying!
