Ok. I know. It has been a long, looooong while since I posted a recipe. But I’ve been making a ton of fun viral recipes so I thought I would post the ones I have actually tried and I liked – sort of like those folks on TikTok who try viral recipes so you donlt have to.
Thats what this is – I found it somewhere on a social post in the interweb… no idea where now so I can not give credit but I have tweaked it enough that I think that should be ok…
So because of my age and stage (51 years young in perimenoupause – so so fun right?) I have been making sure to try to get enough protien – did you know that the average woman needs about 100 grams of protien a day and most of us dont get there. Why do we need more protien now? Well we need the amino acids which are the building blocks of protien because we are losing some from our own muscles so the way to replace – eat enough protien and lift heavy things (not kidding -get on the weight lifting ladies!). After the age of 50 people lose 1-3 % of their muscle mass every year so if you live till 80 you will have lost 30-90% of your muscle mass unless you do things to preserve it! I am now activly training to be able to get off the toilet when I am 80, no joke.
Ok back to the recipe… lots of protien, super quick and easy and super tasty!
This one is so simple it takes me 5 mintues to make and I chill overnight and eat the next day – there is so much protien in it that I am full for hours and it is so tasty that I make it several times a week for myself – no joke!
Here is what you need
Ingredients
100 grams plain high protien Greek Yogurt or Skyr
1 scoop protien powder (vanilla preferred)
2 Tbsp chia seeds
2-3 Tbsp leftover coffee (I make this when there is a bit left over in the pot from the day)
about 1/2 tsp cocoa powder to taste
Directions
Mix all together except cocoa powder and put in a container overnight in the fridge. I use a glass container with a sealable lid so I can take this to work the next day. In the morning dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder. That is it. eat and enjoy – this bad boy has about 265 calories and 38 grams of protien depending on the type of yogurt and protien powder you use so if increasing your protien is something you are looking to do this is a great and super delicious way to do it!
Hope you enjoy!
