Looking for a simple gluten free protein snack?
As I mention in the video below, I have been contacted so much recently from people wondering how to make simple things (yes, everyone has a time budget) that are gluten free, healthy, and full of protein.
I realized recently that this is what I spend all my “free time” doing….concocting simple recipes.
I’m no Martha Stewart, but I eat well and I’m happy to share what I do with all of you! I promise to start making more of these videos to share. But if you have something in particular you are looking for (ie. sick of spending a lot of money on processed salad dressings? –> yes, that recipe is coming, too), contact me!
Note: On the video, I said “Fage.” It’s actually pronounced, “fa-yeh.”
Simple Gluten Free Protein Snack

- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (23 g/protein)
- 1 Tbsp Brown Rice Protein Powder (11 g/protein)
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seed meal (3 g/protein)
- 1 packet Stevia
- Place all ingredients in a bowl, stir.
- Enjoy.
Updated in 2017 to add: I still love quick and simple things like this, but I would not be very likely to use any of those ingredients anymore (except for the flax). What would I do instead? Here you go….
- Choose a much higher-quality yogurt like Organic Valley, Stonyfield, or Siggi’s.
- Alternatively, I might choose a nondairy yogurt like Kite Hill, CoYo, or Forager.
- I would use the Nutiva Organic Plant Protein (for this recipe – Vanilla).
- And I would not use Stevia. Instead, Monkfruit.

You will heal. I will help.
Would be curious if it would be any good if you were to freeze it. Have you ever tried that? Wouldn’t be as good of a post-workout meal that way, but in the summer could make an interesting dessert-sub…hmm….now getting my creative juices flowing 🙂 You rock girl – thanks for the great idea!!
Thanks Kristy! I have not tried to freeze it, but what if you took the recipe and slid some raspberries or blueberries in and then put it in the freezer? I think I might have to try that! ps. When you make it, you will see, but it’s super thick -> almost like a cake batter, literally! I have it each day now, and look forward to it:) I’ll keep the ideas coming for you!
Ohhh yes I love the idea of throwing some fruit in there. That would be REALLY good 🙂
I will let you know when I do, and I’ll post it up!
Thanks for the tip on the rice protein powder! I didn’t even know that existed. A morning protein shake is a staple for me!
Hi Carla! Yes, I love this protein powder. You will see that there are hardly any ingredients in it, which is rare & which is what I love. This is definitely not a shake, though you could make it into one. But here is a protein shake I make (post workout), using this powder: (http://bit.ly/lRuQT9) Enjoy!
COOL SARAH!! Thanks for the tip 🙂
You are welcome, Bonnie! Thanks for stopping by!
