Post-Workout High Protein Quick Breakfast Snack
I’ve been so proud of myself for keeping up with my morning walks lately. These aren’t your average neighborhood strolls. I live in a neighborhood filled with steep hills, and every morning I’m pushing a stroller with a 22 pound baby and a 40 pound toddler along for the ride. By the time I finish, my watch often shows over 500 calories burned, I’m covered in sweat, and I genuinely feel stronger with every walk.
The part I’m most proud of is my consistency. I’ve stuck with these workouts for more than 40 days straight. Rain? I walk. Summer heat? I head out at 6 a.m. before the temperatures climb. I do whatever it takes to make sure I don’t miss a day.
Right now, I’m trying to shift my focus away from the scale and toward building healthy habits. My goals are simple: keep moving my body, eat enough protein to feel my best, and trust that everything else will fall into place. And honestly, I’ve been feeling really good lately. Even with a four month old baby, my sleep has been decent, my energy is up, and my clothes are fitting noticeably better.
One thing that has helped tremendously is keeping high protein snacks and meals ready to grab from the refrigerator. Usually I make protein pancakes, but these Cottage Cheese Protein Muffins have become a new favorite. They’re easy to make, packed with protein, and perfect before or after a workout. Even my toddler loves them, which is always a win in my book.
Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Protein Muffins
- Eggs
- Old fashioned oats
- Cottage cheese
- Whey Vanilla protein powder
- I added no sugar added chocolate chips on top (just to get my toddler to try them)
How to Make Cottage Cheese Protein Muffins
Start by preheating your oven and preparing a muffin pan with liners or a light coating of cooking spray.
Add the eggs, oats, cottage cheese, and vanilla protein powder to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and the oats have broken down into a batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about three quarters full.
Bake until the muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for an easy high protein breakfast or snack throughout the week. They can also be frozen for longer storage and reheated as needed.
The Texture: OATY.
One thing I love about these muffins is the texture. They’re soft, moist, and tender thanks to the cottage cheese, with a texture that’s somewhere between a baked oatmeal cup and a traditional muffin. They aren’t overly sweet or cakey, which makes them perfect for breakfast or snacking. The oats blend right into the batter, creating a smooth consistency, while the protein powder helps make them satisfying and filling. They’re especially delicious chilled straight from the refrigerator, but you can also warm them up for a softer, fresh-from-the-oven texture.
