Talk Macros to Me

If you’re looking for a great meal prep breakfast option or a yummy high protein snack, this blueberry chia cheesecake recipe is a must try. I make this on repeat and honestly the only reason I’ve never shared it before is because it’s not the most photogenic recipe. While it doesn’t look or even sound like a show stopper, trust me on this, it’s delish.

A recurring challenge I come across with my clients is getting in a balanced breakfast especially on busy mornings when nothing goes as planned. If you’ve ever nibbled on your kiddos leftover waffles, grabbed a banana as you walk out the door or just skipped breakfast entirely because you’re tight in time, this is the perfect option for you. Grab a spoon and you can take it on the go!

The cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and protein powder make this a high protein power player while the oats are a great source of fiber helping to keep you full longer. Pairing oats with protein helps slow down the release the blood glucose
