Making Protein Proud


Whether you are squatting, lifting, running, or simply swaying your body in some manner, working out justifies treating yourself. Post workout food doesn’t have to taste like sand despite the reputation of Whey Protein powder by the gallon and bars that look like cat food (you know who you are). Here are some swoon-worthy post-workout options that will make your 6 pack AND your taste buds smile.

11.)  Quest Bars
Holy Quest Bar. Cookie dough, peanut butter cup, it doesn’t matter. They taste like the actual flavor they are described as (not always the case with protein bars). These delicious protein bars come in a plethora of flavors and max out at 9 ingredients. Pinterest has crazy recipes if you are interested in getting creative (or just curious what the moms of Pinterest are up to).



22.)  Exo Bars
These are another type of protein bar with a twist that chirps. They use cricket powder as the source of protein. But wait! Don’t let that turn you off, they pack a punch with flavor. An added plus? Cricket protein is a much more sustainable source of protein than meat!


33.)  Greek Yogurt “Mousse”
Vanilla Greek yogurt + Cocoa powder + Granola + Fruit = Heaven.
Greek yogurt is protein packed and trendy as can be right now, but if you find yourself wanting more flavor, stirring in cocoa powder takes it to another level. Think Chocolate mousse without the guilt trip.
