Protein is an essential component in the process of muscle building and regeneration. In addition, it also has an excellent capacity to saturate. Protein powder is an inexpensive and simple way of supplementing proteins during the day. But if you are tired of eating protein drinks and would like to try something new, try one of these 6 protein snacks to supplement the proteins in your muscles.
1. Chia pudding
For 1-2 portions you will need:
- ripe banana
- 2 tablespoon of protein (for example True Whey)
- 250 ml of milk (almond, rice, coconut, or other)
- 2 teaspoons of chia seeds
How do we prepare it?
Mix the banana with protein and milk using a blender. Then add to the glass and mix well with chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. After that, you can eat pudding, or even decorate it with your favourite fruit before eating it.
2. Protein ice cream cup
We will need:
- 250 ml of almond or other milk
- 1 scoop of protein (we used True Whey – white chocolate flavour)
- a few slices of frozen banana (optional)
How do we prepare it?
Mix the ingredients together. If we prefer a denser consistency, we use less milk and vice versa. Put in the freezer for about an hour and then it is ready to be consumed. You can add dark chocolate, almonds or fruit to the top. Bon appetite!
3. Banana – hazelnut oatmeal porridge

4. Chocolate balls
We will need:

- 1 scoop of protein
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (smooth)
- ¼ glass offinely chopped peanuts (or other nuts)
- 1 DCL of milk
- 4 teaspoons agave syrup
- 2 teaspoons of cacao
How do we prepare it?
Mix the dates, protein, milk, peanut butter, agave syrup, cocoa and half the nuts in a blender. The mixture should be gently sticky so that the balls will model well. If the mass is too dry, add a little more dates. Conversely, if the mass is too supple, add peanuts or protein powder. Modelled balls can be eaten straight away or covered in coconut or cocoa first.
5. Blueberry pancakes
For 3 pancakes we will need:
- 2 eggs
- 1 scoop of protein
- 2 teaspoons of oat bran
- a handful of blueberries
How do we prepare it?
Mix all ingredients well, then spray the pan with oil in a spray and set the cooker on a moderate flame. Fill about a quarter of the ladle with the substance and pour it into a hot pan. Bake until small bubbles are formed on its surface, then turn over the pancake and bake on the other side for about two minutes. All done!
