Smoothie Burnout? Try These Recipes Instead

By: Sarah House | January 19 2016
As we’ve probably all heard by now, protein is now part of the popular crowd. And for good reason! Lean proteins are an excellent way to fill up and stay full until the next time you are supposed to eat, not 45 minutes after your last meal. For breakfast, and those pre- and post-gym snacks, options have been limited. Not many people crave a boneless, skinless chicken breast for breakfast, and a spoonful of peanut butter while hustling into the gym can just be messy. Smoothies have been all the rage for quite some time and are a great way to incorporate tons of good foodstuffs: protein, probiotics, and fiber. But is that really the only speedy and convenient on-the-go meal? Not when you have a bag of one of Bob’s Red Mill’s new Nutritional Boosters chock full of vegan protein, fiber, probiotics, and omega-3s! Besides an unflavored version, we also make three delicious flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Chai. Of course these can be used in a plethora of smoothies, but our full-service boosters provide so many more options.

Chocolate Berry Breakfast Bowl

The tony crowds in bastions of cool like New York and L.A. have been flocking to juice bars selling protein bowls for months now. Simple to prepare and super-satisfying to eat, protein bowls have all the tasty nutrition of a smoothie coupled with the joy of chewing your food. Blend up some fresh or frozen fruits and veggies, toss in a scoop of our Nutritional Boosters, and add a little chilled almond, coconut, or hemp milk to make an awesomely spoonable and pleasing breakfast. Top with some of your favorite granolas, nuts, and fresh or dried fruits, and you’re good to go!

Pumpkin Chai Boost Bars

Are you totally over shakes and smoothies and their ilk? Luckily there are bars and truffles and other recipes ripe for the snacking. Using fruit and nut purees and adding some good whole grain cereals or flours makes a great bar base. The addition of any one of our Nutritional Boosters plus your favorite extras like flax, chia, or hemp seeds, coconut and chewy dried fruits, crunchy nuts, and always popular chocolate chips turns snack time into something to truly look forward to.
