It’s well-known that good things come in small packages. These are no exception – these little bites of bliss taste like fudgey caramel snicker bars. Packed with protein and low GI carbs, they’ll ward off hunger until your next meal. They’re also conveniently portable – so stash some in your desk drawer in the office for that 3pm snack attack.
If you haven’t tried spaghetti squash yet, you’re missing out. This strange looking vegetable produces the most delicious pasta substitute and is extremely versatile. It is well-loved amongst those watching their carb intake, and contain very few calories. Top it with some lean Bolognese and you have a winner.
Quinoa is a great source of protein, iron and fibre – awesome news for vegetarians. Slightly nutty in flavour, this super seed is a fantastic low GI carb that will keep you full for hours. This dish has a nice sweet twist with the addition of some chopped dried apricots, but fresh apple, pear or orange segments would work just as well.
A fantastic blend for early risers who like a smooth start to their morning. Gentle on the taste buds while delightfully smooth and filling, this one will keep you going for hours.
You probably know by now if you follow me on Instagram that i’m a huge fan of Greek yoghurt. It’s packed with protein and will keeps you satisfied hours after eating it. This one is always a hit with kids, but I regularly make them myself for an afternoon snack.
Beef is an excellent complete protein source that supplies amino acids to build and repair – a must for anyone who weight trains. This low-fat meal will help sustain lean muscle and keep you in great condition. Traditionally a heavy cream-based dish, this version will leave you feeling satisfied without all that unnecessary dairy.
This delicious lunch is packed with 25g of protein for fast muscle repair and long-lasting satiety. Tofu can also give a major boost to your weight-loss plan. If you’ve tried tofu before and thought it was pretty tasteless, yore not alone. Give it another try with this recipe: the dukkah adds so much flavour and the grill ensures it crisps up – delicious!
No lean protein gets more respect from me than the humble chicken breast. In addition to being a fat burning powerhouse, each breast contains approximately 27 grams of high-quality protein. These facts need no sweeteners, but drizzled in honey and I’m sold.
So its BBQ season again. What are you meant to take to a gathering when you’re told to bring a plate and don’t want to break your diet? Sans pastry, these crustless mini quiches offer just the solution. Small, tasty and easy on the waist – no one has to know your slipping them a super healthy, protein-packed nibble!
These zesty little bites are fantastic post-workout, or as a snack on-the-go.
