FIT CHICKS hits CTV Morning…protein power breakfast recipes included!

Hey Chicks,

There is nothing better than wrapping up our indoor classes (outdoor sessions start on June 2nd plus you can still save $80 off!) than with a little TV love in my hometown of Ottawa!

Yesterday I headed CTV Morning to share some healthy love in 2 segments including a Supersweats Supersets workout and a nutrition spot talking about our “Complete in 3” rule to eating balanced, healthy meals and 3 protein packed breakfast recipes to do just that.

Missed the episode?  Click on the links below to watch the spots:

SEGMENT 1 : “Super Sets aka Super Sweats” Workout


 

SEGMENT 2: The “Complete in 3” Rule for Chick Approved Nutrition + 3 protein packed breakfast recipes

I was so excited though chatting about my omelet muffins and overnight oats that we didn’t get enough time to get through my protein power ball recipes 🙁  But not to worry – I have included the recipe below.

CHICK FEED:  5 Ingredient Basic Chick Power Protein Balls

This is the base recipe for 6 chick approved protein balls. Each ball has approx 12-15g of protein. Place with these ingredients and make your own personal faves.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of protein powder of choice (we prefer whey protein but use what powder you prefer:  whey, egg protein, hemp, pea, etc)
  • 3 tbsp of nut or seed butter of choice
  • 2/3 cup of ground oats
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup of water

Directions

  1. Blend together all ingredients
  2. Start to pour in 1/2 cup of water.  If needed add a little more until it’s a rollable paste.  If too wet, add a little more ground oats.*
  3. Divide mixture into 6 portions and roll into balls
  4. Place in the freezer for 30 min

Note: For ground oats, simply buy large oats (not instant) and grind in your coffee grinder 🙂

CHICK TIPS:

  • Sweet Babies: If using plain protein powder or need a little more sweetness, add stevia, honey or maple syrup
  • Rock and Roll: Take the yumminess to the next level and roll your balls in coconut, cinnamon, dip in 80% dark chocolate or our fave choco sauce,  grated orange, cacao nibs…the possibilities are endless!
  • 6 or more ingredients: The above is just the base so add flavors and ingredients to make your fave combo.

FAVE CHICK POWER PROTEIN BALLS COMBOS:

  • Vanilla Cinnamon Coconut Cashew Craze: 1/2 cup Vanilla whey protein powder, 3 tbsp cashew butter, 2/3 cup ground oats, 2 tbsp coconut flour, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tbsp of shredded unsweetened coconut (for rolling)
  • Ooo La La Orange Chocolate: 1/2 cup Chocolate Hemp protein powder, 3 tbsp almond butter, 2/3 cup of ground oats, 2 tbsp dark cocoa or raw cacao powder (sub for coconut flour), 10 drops of orange essential oil, orange zest (for rolling)
  • Pretend PB & Jelly: 1/2 cup plain protein powder, 3 tbsp of sunflower seed butter (tastes like PB!), 2/3 cup ground oats, 2 tbsp almond flour (sub for coconut flour), 1/3 cup of chopped raisins & apricots mixed

Have a fab weekend!
