Why this works for GLP-1 users
When you’re on GLP-1 medications, hunger cues can vanish like socks in the dryer, leaving you feeling uncertain about your body’s signals. In this context, protein becomes less “nice to have” and more “non-negotiable,” as it plays a crucial role in sustaining muscle mass and supporting metabolic processes. This recipe is protein-dense, small-volume, and easy to portion, making it ideal when full hits fast but your muscles, metabolism, and blood sugar still need backup. The balanced combination of flavors and nutrients ensures that you not only meet your protein requirements but also enjoy a delicious meal that can easily fit into your busy lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner, this recipe provides the essential support your body craves without causing discomfort.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Ryse Marshmallow Protein Powder
- 3 teaspoons Chobani non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 teaspoons SunButter Sunflower Butter
- 1/4 cup chips of choice
(Lily’s white chocolate chips are elite behavior, just saying)
Instructions
- Toss everything into a bowl.
- Mix until thick, creamy, and suspiciously dessert-like.
- Freeze for about 1 hour to let it firm up.
- Portion into balls or two small bowls.
- Store frozen or chilled.
Serving tip:
I like mine slightly softer, so I let it thaw in the fridge for a bit before eating. If you prefer a firmer “cookie dough bite,” keep it frozen longer. You’re the boss here.
Protein Breakdown (GLP-1 Friendly Math, No Calculator Tears)
Protein per ingredient

- Chobani non-fat Greek yogurt (3 tsp): ~4–5g protein
- SunButter (3 tsp): ~5–6g protein
Total protein for the entire batch:

(Chips are emotionally supportive but nutritionally neutral for protein.)
Protein per serving
How you portion matters, especially when smaller servings are all you can handle.
- 6 servings: ~10g protein each
- 8 servings: ~7.5g protein each
- 10 servings: ~6g protein each
For many people on GLP-1s, 6–10 g of protein per snack is the sweet spot when full hits fast but you still need something substantial to carry you through until your next meal. This amount of protein not only helps to stave off hunger but also provides a good balance of energy and nutrients, allowing for better satiety without overwhelming the digestive system. Incorporating protein-rich snacks into your diet can help maintain energy levels, support muscle health, and keep cravings at bay, making it easier to stick to your dietary goals while enjoying a variety of tasty options that satisfy your hunger.
Why I Love This for GLP-1 Life
- Small volume, big protein payoff
- Easy to eat even when appetite is low
- No cooking, no eggs, no nonsense
- Customizable if sunflower butter is your safe nut-free option
This is the kind of snack that quietly does its job, making it an ideal choice for those constantly on the go. No food guilt lingers after your indulgence; instead, you can savor each bite with pure satisfaction. There’s no pressure to finish a massive shake that leaves you feeling overly full or uncomfortable. Instead, it’s just a simple spoon, a moment of joy that brings a delightful pause to your busy day, and protein that actually shows up for you, providing the nourishment you need without any fuss. This snack doesn’t just fuel your body; it lifts your spirits, allowing you to enjoy a break that’s both satisfying and guilt-free, making it a perfect companion for any time of day when you need a little pick-me-up.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
Much love and many blessings,
