Sick of prepackaged protein bars and shakes for a post workout snack?  Make this 5 ingredient Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Mousse!  It’s packed with protein and taste like dessert at the same time!

Do you know what most people look for in a post-workout snack?  Convenience.  Why wait when you can unwrap and demolish a store-bought protein bar in less than one minute?  If you’re like most people, you’re probably uber hangry after a super tough workout.  It only makes sense to stuff the closest source of protein into your mouth so you get those gains, but let me ask you, when was the last time you said “Mmmm this store-bought protein bar/shake tasted really good!” ??? For me, that’s extremely RARE.

That’s because many, not all, prepackaged protein snacks are full of additives, artificial sweeteners or ingredients that make you bloated/gassy. That’s why I love Kashi® Organic Breakfast Superblends because they are all you need to get in high quality protein with great taste after a tough workout!

Kashi Breakfast Superblends contains a mix of whole foods, (like spinach, garbanzo beans, kale,quinoa and fruit) and adds an abundant amount of plant-based protein per serving ( 15-16 grams) all while being organic, gluten-free and vegan!  It’s totally versatile too! 

Craving an iced cold smoothie?  Blend one serving with non-dairy milk, and fruit for a simple yet satisfying smoothie.  You can even make pancakes, muffins, ice cream, popsicles and basically anything you crave after working out (hello dessert!).Sick of prepackaged protein bars and shakes for a post workout snack?

Have you ever thought of eating mousse after working out?  Yeah, didn’t think so.  Usually mousse is full of fat and sugar, aka not something you would want to fuel your body with.  But, what if I told you that you could make a high protein mousse with Kashi Superblend?  I used the Rise & Shine flavor, which adds sweetness plus a hint of green color, perfect for this mint chocolate chip mousse!  If you love the classic ice cream flavor you’ll swoon over this protein-packed dessert!
