When you miss a gym session or go a few days without posting a recipe, it feels like forever and yet it’s only been a few days!
Despite that I’m glad to be back bringing you guys recipes that will boost energy levels, provide great nutrition and pack in plenty of protein.
With that in mind I’m bringing you these delicious Buckwheat & Nut Protein Cups that are filled with everything you’ll need for a healthy snack during those hungry periods or as a nutritional breakfast that will slowly release energy throughout your morning.
As you can see from the photo below, this recipe has one of USN’s newest energy bars known as ‘Nature’s Energy Bar’. It is packed with 8.5g protein to keep your body fuelled and your muscles ready and is so convenient.
It’s also packed with a really peanutty flavour that you’ll just adore.
Although you have to soak the overnights overnight, the rest of the recipe takes almost no time at all. All you need is a blender and some kind of cup or glass to pour it into.
It will also keep in the fridge for up to 2 days providing it’s kept in an air-tight container.
So enjoy this energy-packed and very nutritious recipe and to find out more about the USN Energy Bars I have used click here.
