These no bake Cashew Yogurt Protein Cups are my current go-to snack. They take just 10 minutes to make and the muffin tin method provides instant pieces so you don’t even need a knife! Cashew butter, almond flour and protein powder provides a punch of protein and the best texture while also providing fiber and nourishing fats.

These flavor-packed muffin tin protein bites are the ultimate snack that will keep you full AND satisfied, with stable blood sugars and energy between meals or the perfect evening snack!

When I was first studying nutrition as part of my fitness qualifications, I was fascinated to learn that our cravings are truly messengers for us and when we can learn to work with them and not fear them, they can really improve our ability to tune into our hunger cues and serve our body’s needs – not just physically but mentally and emotionally. Diet culture has trained us to think that cravings and overeating are somehow a failure on our part when in reality these urges are often our body’s physiological response to restrictive eating habits.

As I started working with clients to help them release that diet mentality and improve their relationship with food one of the biggest surprises for them has consistently been when I suggested *adding* a snack or two into their day rather than implementing more willpower. The result – more energy, more stable appetite, less intense cravings or feeling out of control around food and more body trust!

In case you have not heard of this…the “addition diet,” also known as the “add, not subtract” approach to dieting, is a method that focuses on incorporating nutrient-rich, wholesome foods into your meals and snacks rather than emphasizing what foods to eliminate or restrict.

This approach encourages a positive and sustainable relationship with food by adding fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, dairy, nuts, seeds, and other unprocessed ingredients to your diet.

The idea is that by filling your plate with nutritious options, there’s naturally less room for empty calories, which can lead to weight loss without the feeling of deprivation often associated with traditional diets. It’s about creating a balanced and satisfying diet that includes the foods you enjoy while meeting your nutritional needs.

A bit deep for snacks, hey? Haha… But this is just one of the many reasons I am such a fan of snacks! Snacks tend to get a bad reputation, but in reality they are something you can add into your nutrition toolbox to help keep you feeling good and energized throughout the day and make you less likely to tuck into less than healthy choices when cravings become overwhelming.

These protein-rich cashew, yogurt cups are a great snack. Rich in protein, fiber, and nourishing fats, these will keep you feeling both full and satisfied in between meals so you are not constantly searching around for something more.

YESSS…creamy, rich cashew butter, almond flour and yogurt combine for a post-workout win. A dream trio, indeed.

These protein snacks are supposed to be stored in the freezer and we LOVE a good freezer treat, right!? You can definitely store some in the fridge, I just love a more firm fudge texture! Either option is good.

These easy protein cups are the perfect midday (or any time) snack or treat. They taste so good you won’t even be able to tell these are packed with protein and healthy fats and are super good for you!
