Everyone is looking for high protein snacks these days, so here's a great one for you! Bonus - it's lactose free when you use lactose free yogurt, like this Fage I picked up at the store. It is rich, thick and creamy - trust me, you don't even miss the lactose, and you get the added bonus of 17 whopping grams of protein!
Top it with this simple homemade berry sauce, and it is a delicious, filling, high protein snack! Berry Sauce 1 cup frozen berries (I used mixed berries, but you pick!) 2 Tbls pure maple syrup Juice of 1/2 lemon 3 Tbls water Add the ingredients to a saucepan and cook over low heat until warmed through and the berries start to fall apart. Remove from the heat and use an immersion blender (or your regular blender) to blend into a smooth sauce. Makes 4 servings. Top your yogurt with 1/4 of the sauce, then store the rest in the fridge to enjoy for the next few days! This would also be delicious over ice cream :) TIP - you can add 2 Tbls of chia seeds to the sauce and as it cools, it will thicken. Use as a sauce or jam! Per serving of sauce: 45 calories 0.3g fat 11.4g carbs 0.8g fiber 0.4g protein

Food is fuel.I love to cook and bake recipes that incorporate healthy whole foods and those nutritious macro and micronutrients into our daily diets. I also like to make treats though, because let's face it, everyone loves a good sweet now and then! My favorite part about cooking, though, is sharing my latest recipes with others. ENJOY!
