If you’ve been reading the SUPP UP. blog long enough, you’ll know that I don’t try and discourage you from eating the things you love – I simply state that everything is best in moderation.
I like high protein. I like brownies. I love high protein brownies. Why? Because why not – it’s killing two birds with one stone, function and flavor.
Let’s get started.
Clean Snacking: Easy High Protein Brownies
You’re looking at 122 grams of protein per batch of brownies.
Will there be sugar in this? Yes – I don’t believe in chemical sweeteners, and if you’ve read either of the SUPP UP. nutrition guides you’ll know that glucose is a necessary (and sole) food for the brain; it also make sure your glycogen stores are topped up in your muscles, so let’s stop with the vilifying of it. Have no idea and want to know more on the two points? Buy either of the SUPP UP. nutrition guides now and prepare to have your mind blown.
Here’s the recipe.

Nice and easy. Here’s the macros:
Numbers don’t lie, and the breakdown above shows you how easily you can get the nutrition you need from this easy high protein brownie recipe. You’ll also notice how this recipe gives you a big hit of Vitamin D.
Like I said earlier you can split it into as many portions as you want – I usually eat 2 or 3 per serving for an easy dose of protein, carbs, and fats after a workout or when I’m relaxing with the family.
Whole food nutrition is important for more reasons than one, but it’s also a lot easier to achieve than most media makes you believe. Become self-reliant – take control of your workouts and nutrition uptake, understand it’s not all work (half of it’s play!), embrace the suck when needed, and enjoy the spoils throughout the whole process.
Becoming a healthier, fitter / more athletic version of you doesn’t get any easier than with the SUPP UP. guides…and if you read either of my nutrition guides, you’ll know exactly what I mean. If you haven’t, well…you know what to do – pick up your guides now over at the SUPP UP. shop, either as a bundle or individually, paperback or digital.
That’s all, folks.
