A creamy protein snack you can stir together with a spoon
If you’re hungry halfway between lunch and dinner, here’s a quick snack you can make with a spoon and a small bowl. Stir vanilla protein powder into plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt, add a little cardamom, and finish with a few pumpkin seeds for crunch.
Cardamom is what makes this one. It has a warm, almost citrusy flavor that brings out the vanilla. Start with a small pinch. You can always add a little more after you taste it.
Here’s how to make it
Spoon half a cup of plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt into a bowl. Stir in half a scoop of Fat Flush® Body Protein and a pinch of ground cardamom. Give it a minute to thicken, then stir again. If your yogurt is already thick, add a teaspoon of cold water at a time until it has the consistency of a soft pudding. Scatter a tablespoon of unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) over the top just before eating.
This snack has about 13 to 14 grams of protein. Half a scoop of Fat Flush® Body Protein gives you 10 grams, a tablespoon of unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) adds 2 to 3 grams, and half a cup of plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt adds about 1 gram, depending on the brand.
You can stir this dreamy protein cream together after lunch and put it in the fridge for later. No blender needed. Keep the pumpkin seeds separate until you’re ready to eat so they stay crunchy.
Why Cardamom?
If you flip through my new Fat Flush Reboot, you might notice something a little different in a few of the recipes. In some places, I’ve swapped cinnamon for cardamom. And no — it’s not just for the flavor….
