Would you believe that the secret to this creamy chocolate smoothie is cannellini beans? They provide a healthy dose of protein and fiber and add to the silkiness. But the surprise ingredient doesn't make the smoothie taste like bean dip. The drink is a yummy option for those who aren't into beans on toast, but they still want fuel.
Brown Rice Cakes With Bananas, Strawberries and Peanut Butter
You're probably very familiar with loaded toast, but what about loaded rice cakes? This recipe uses brown rice cakes which offer more fiber. Top with peanut butter, fruits of your choice and cacao nibs for a welcome hit of chocolate. A sprinkle of hemp seeds increases the protein content. The seeds have about 11 grams of protein per two to three tablespoons.
