Simple Ways to Eat Your Protein Powder

by Eric Fuller on May 21, 2019
When it comes to protein powders, we’ve really seen it all these days as hundreds of creative social media gurus have thankfully shared countless recipes to take our morning shake from water and powder to a Michelin star worthy masterpiece complete with photo shoot and recipe. While most of us can easily lose ourselves in scrolling through these decadent and healthy treats, we don’t always have the time to put them together. In some cases, it takes days of searching to even collect the necessary ingredients! In our busy lives, this becomes very inconvenient, and we revert back to water in a shaker bottle in hopes of ignoring our taste buds until the weekend. While Terra Origin has worked really hard to make sure that all of their supplements taste amazing even when just mixed with water, they also understand that life should be enjoyed and that means every breakfast, lunch, snack and protein shake should make you smile inside and out! For this reason, we have taken an assortment of the best Bone Broth powders, Protein powders and Collagen powders and created five delicious recipes all under three added ingredients. We guarantee that they all taste great and the extras are all common foods in most kitchens and generic supermarkets. Mason Jar Protein This is a slight spin on overnight oats and can change your morning shake to a morning meal! The oats add in fiber which will keep you fuller for longer. Here is the base, but we have some creative combos listed below. 1 scoop of your favorite Terra Origin protein powder 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt ½ cup of organic, whole rolled oats 2/3 cup of non-dairy milk That’s it! Now grab seven wide-mouth mason jars and fill each one with the above proportions and add whatever flavors you have in your kitchen. If you’re short on time or groceries, simply mix the above ingredients and throw it in the fridge. Amazing flavors like Matcha Green Tea, Coffee, Strawberry Banana and Berry Melon will give you all the flavor you need. If you have a moment to be a bit more creative, try adding any of the following combinations. Protein Mochaccino Coffee flavored Bone Broth Protein 1 tbsp. of cacao nibs Vanilla almond milk Matcha Madness Matcha Green Tea Collagen & Probiotics Powder ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries Coconut milk Almond Butter Cup Chocolate Bone Broth Collagen Protein Powder 1 tbsp. of raw, organic almond butter Almond milk Chai Delight Vanilla Chai Healthy Plant Protein ¼ tsp. of cinnamon Vanilla Almond Milk For those who have a little time to put into breakfast, this next option is fantastic for squeezing in all of your favorite superfoods in one tasty dish! They can also be made in advance for a richly satisfying meal on the go. Grab five bowls with lids and having a little fun. Protein Powder Buddha Bowl While the Buddha Bowl is typically grain based with an assortment of veggies, we saw an opportunity to take this simple meal prep into your mornings. Enjoy the color and variety! 1 cup of Greek Yogurt 1 scoop of your favorite Terra Origin protein powder Toppings – This can be as simple or elaborate as you like. Just think nuts, seeds, dried, fresh or frozen fruits, spices, fresh herbs and greens, superfood powders like spirulina or chlorella or grains. Take a look at our favorites! Au Naturale Unflavored Bone Broth Protein with Turmeric Choose your favorite nut, seed and fruit to toss on the top, or sprinkle with your favorite granola! Berry Blends Berry Melon Probiotic Collagen Powder ½ cup of frozen mixed berries (As the berries melt, their juices will flavor the whole bowl!) Herb Fresh Keto Collagen with MCT Fresh mint Optional: fresh dill ½ cup of thin sliced cucumber With the hot summer months right around the corner, many of us no longer feel like eating a hearty breakfast, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need one. That’s why we have three breakfast treats that will make you feel like a kid again while fueling your body for all the adult responsibilities of the day! Protein Popsicles! No, we are not suggesting steak on a stick. Check out these recipes for taking your favorite protein powder and turning it into an ice pop. We recommend getting a popsicle tray for easy loading and freezing. Most trays come in four, six or eight and to make things even easier, choose a set with easy release or silicone molds.

Just make sure each one has a full scoop of your preferred supplement to meet your body’s nutritional needs!
