Tropical Anti-Inflammatory Protein Workout Snacks (cauliflower & white beans)

This easy frosty snack mixture is perfect for grabbing after a sweaty workout. Frosty, fruit-sweetened, full of nutrition, protein and anti-inflammatory potency to help your muscles recover fast.

I mixed two flavors here: The yellow is made of pineapple and orange cauliflower.

Pineapple is a powerful anti-inflammatory because of the substance called bromelain.

How Healthy is Orange Cauliflower?

And the orange cauliflower, sweeter and creamier than the white version, is very high in vitamin A and fiber.

Strawberries, whose nutritional benefits I think are often forgotten, include vitamins, fiber, antioxidants, as well as manganese and potassium.

Both flavors are blended with white beans, tiny white packages full of protein, fiber and a slew of other nutritional benefits, including potassium and iron, good for shiny hair among other effects; thiamine for a boost to your cognitive abilities; heart-supporting folate and magnesium, and copper to fight inflammation and antioxidants galore!

And, just as I found with my white bean chocolate chip cookie dough, this bean, normally found in savory dishes such as chili, is the perfect partner in workout snacks paired with fruits, the perfect blank palate to support the sweetness and flavor of fruit!

Now I must share my news! I signed a book contract this month, and it’s a series! The first book will be released in 2019!

I hope you follow me on Instagram to join me on this wild ride. I’m actually a little overwhelmed at the moment and could use the support, haha.
