Dessert for Breakfast

Sponsored Content

Three hours after getting back from the grocery store, you’ve meticulously weighed out and precooked every meal for the entire week ahead. The inside of your fridge looks like a centerfold spread for Tupperware porn. But whether you care to admit it, there’s still a big void that needs filling: the sweet stuff. Even after all your daily protein needs are met, those lingering urges torment you long into the night… But nay, you’ve mastered the art of sweet-treat discipline. Oh, look how you’ve grown!Here’s the truth: you don’t need to deprive yourself. Dessert gets buff from this morning onward. It’s like having your cake and eating it too, except for the fact it’s a cake made almost entirely of protein and you should now consider scheduling a belated birthday party for yourself. Or just eat dessert for breakfast with these 5 tasty options.

No Bake Cookie Dough (25g Protein)

Let’s be honest here…none of us have enough cookie dough in our lives. Through some mystical nutrition alchemy, Quest’s No Bake Cookie Dough (AKA Confection of the Gods) is a jaw-dropping super-snack with macros nothing short of magic.GET THE RECIPE HERE

Layered Cookies and Cream Cake (23g Protein)

We’re not just talking about layers of taste. Stacked between this creamy-sweet tag-team of rich culinary confection is half a chicken breast’s worth of protein in just one single slice! Yes, you may have a second slice, perhaps even a third. Just remember this is still only breakfast, so save at least a few slices for normal dessert time (or your breakfast tomorrow).GET THE RECIPE HERE

Cookie Dough Pizza (23g Protein)

If there’s one thing that smells better than fresh pizza from the oven, it would have to be fresh cookies. Nearly 80 years after the first chocolate chip cookie was baked, the dessert has finally evolved. It’s literally a pizza cookie for breakfast, topped off with vanilla ice cream, with more protein in a single slice than any of your favorite protein bars. GET THE RECIPE HERE

Lemon Blueberry Crisp (20g Protein)

Pass on the parfaits and pie, instead indulge in a protein-packed variation on your favorite new fruity combo. The surprise pairing of sweet blueberries and sour lemon are like Steph and Klay; you’ve never experienced a pair like them before, and it never disappoints. Put 20g on the protein scoreboard… this one’s a macro slam dunk!GET THE RECIPE HERE

Cinnamon Bacon Bites (23g Protein)

It’s hard to believe the deliciously die-hard combo of bacon and cinnamon isn’t seen more often. So before fast food chains get wind of this delightful new wake-up cuisine, train yourself to make it right. This flawless start to your new day is only a few minutes in the oven away, so pre-heat to 425 and start sizzling away at a fat stack of bacon! Warning: spare ingredients may be delicious.GET THE RECIPE HERE
