I have a confession to make. When this high protein bluberry loaf turned up at the gym, I found myself eating way more than my quota! In fact, I had to walk away accepting the fact that I would devour the loaf in one hit if I didn’t move fast. I know it’s not exactly a box of Tim Tams, but it’s still not great etiquette from a trainer right?
So if you are looking for a healthy high protein snack, then I encourage you to give this blueberry loaf a go as it is delicious!
Word of warning though… Even though this is an all natural high protein snack, it’s still contains a moderate amount of fruit. If you are looking at losing a few extra kilos, you have to be very mindful of the amount of carb’s you are consuming daily, so go easy.
Ingredients
- 1 grated apple
- 1 zest of a lemon
- 1 mashed banana
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 eggs separated
- 1 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup 180 protein powder
- 1 cup blueberries
Step 1
This one is so simple even I’ve mastered it!
Place all the ingredients one by one in a bowl except for the egg whites and mix together.
Step 2
Whip the egg whites into stiff peaks then fold gently through the other mixed ingredients.
The biggest decision you have to make now is if you want to bake a loaf or a muffin.

Many thanks to Caroline Howe for the recipe.
