Chicken is hands down my favourite protein source, however, it is easy to get bored of the plain taste. What I love most about it is that you can make it sweet or savoury! Here is a delicious recipe I created for when I’m in the sweet mood (which is almost always) and a great way to get in quality protein and healthy fats :)

Cocoa-Coconut Chicken

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put chicken and coconut oil in a bowl and microwave for 30-60 seconds (until coconut oil has melted)
  2. Mix together so that all the chicken is coated in the oil
  3. Sprinkle in cinnamon, cocoa powder and stevia
  4. Mix together and enjoy!

Such a simple and quick process with a delicious outcome- enjoy!

My Favourite Protein Sources

Protein is my favourite macronutrient by far! I tend to get 1.5-1.7g per lbs of my body weight every single day. It is essential for muscle growth maintenance.

It is best to get 1-1.5g per lbs of body weight everyday and here are some of my favourite protein sources so that that can be achieved!

1. Protein Powders

Casein and Whey (My favourite brand: Optimum Nutrition) 25g per serving

2.  Canned Tuna

Fast, easy and portable! ~30g per can

3. Egg Whites


I love the yolks in omelettes and my Protein Pancake, but you can’t beat the density of protein in each egg white. 4g protein per egg white!

4. Peanut Flour

Add some stevia, salt and water and you have a delicious creamy, protein filled pudding! 16g protein per serving.

5. Chicken

Versatile, filling and tasty with 27g of protein per chicken breast.


While these are all simple sources, they are delicious, filling, staples in my diet.

Eat these to help build some muscle!
