Mike's Lunch

This is the ultimate meal: delicious, filling, easy to prepare, affordable, and most importantly, packed with 45 grams of protein.

Eliminate the decision fatigue of what to eat for lunch from your life and make gainz instead.

Ingredients

  • 200g plain greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
  • 1 scoop whey protein powder
  • Cinammon and pumpkin pie spice (optional)
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • 100g celery, sliced
  • 50g bell pepper, sliced

Directions

  1. Slice the apples, celery, and bell peppers.
  2. Add the protein powder and spices to a bowl.
  3. Add the greek yogurt to the bowl and mix.
  4. Eat all the celery, then all the peppers, then all the apple slices, then all the yogurt.

Nutrition

  • With 0% fat yogurt: 351 calories / 46g protein (52%) / 35g carbs (40%) / 3g fat (8%)
  • With 2% fat yogurt: 369 calories / 44.8g protein (49%) / 35g carbs (38%) / 5.5g fat (13%)

Notes

  • FAGE is my favorite yogurt.
  • Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is my favorite whey protein (because Costco sells it in Extra Big-Ass container size).
  • Fuji is my go-to apple, but any variety will do except red delicious which are a disgrace to apples.
  • Good whey protein / spice combinations:
    • chocolate whey + cinnamon
    • vanilla whey protein + cinnamon
    • vanilla whey protein + pumpkin pie
    • vanilla whey protein + cinnamon + pumpkin pie.
  • The apple can be swapped out for any other fruit you prefer: pineapple, canteloupe, grapes, etc.
  • The celery and bell peppers can be swapped out for any other vegetable you prefer: cucumber, carrots, snap peas, etc.
  • It is crucial to use whey protein. If you mix greek yogurt and vegan protein the texture is like gritty playdough and this is no longer the ultimate meal.
