Why not sneak in lyl protein with our sweet treat?
Hello friends! I hope you have a wonderful day! We’re back in Barcelona and live in that Spanish life. Please let me know if you have any questions while we are here.
Today, let’s talk about protein desserts. TBH, if you have dessert… it feels like you have dessert. Like a real thing. No protein powder or chickpeas. Give me chocolate and real sugar.
However, I understand that these options aren’t optimal for blood sugar and that every dessert can add a little extra nutrition. In these cases, we rounded up eight high protein dessert recipes packed with good ingredients that are not only delicious, but also fuel and satisfying. Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, or need a new post-workout snack, I’m gotchu.
Here’s a dessert recipe packed with 8 proteins to try:
