My favorite protein recipes :)

As requested from my friends list a few weeks back, here are my favorite easy protein recipes. I've tried several variations and several other recipes- but these so far are the best, in my opinion. i tweaked recipes i have found on instagram and rippedrecipes.com, and some these are my favs so far

(note- Trutein protein powder is what i use. Cinnabon and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup flavors. by far the best protein powder I've ever tried)

Easy PopTarts

microwave your fav quest bar for 7 seconds, cut in half, and roll with rolling pin.

put 1-2 tbsp of your fav nut butter, nutella or jam, then cover with the other half

wait 2 min until it cools, and then press fork around the edges to create a pocket

top with pb2 (any flavor) and some sprinkles. SO GOOD



those are not all of the ones ive tried, but they are def my favs! enjoy!
